God, the King of the Earth.
For the music director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
47
Clap your hands, all you peoples;Shout to God with a voice of joy.
2 For the Lord Most High is to be feared,
A great King over all the earth.
3 He subdues peoples under us
And nations under our feet.
4 He chooses our inheritance for us,
The pride of Jacob whom He loves. Selah
5 God has ascended [a]with a shout,
The Lord, [b]with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises with a psalm of wisdom.
8 God reigns over the nations,
God [c]sits on His holy throne.
9 The [d]princes of the people have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham,
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is highly exalted.
