Psalm 47

Omnes gentes plaudite

  1. O CLAP your hands together, all ye peoples: O sing unto God with the voice of melody.
  2. For the LORD Most High is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
  3. He shall subdue the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.
  4. He shall choose out an heritage for us, even the excellency of Jacob, whom he loved.
  5. God is gone up with a merry noise, and the LORD with the sound of the trump.
  6. O sing praises, sing praises unto our God; O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.
  7. For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises with understanding.
  8. God reigneth over the heathen; God sitteth upon his holy seat.
  9. The princes of the peoples are joined unto the people of the God of Abraham; for God, which is very high exalted, doth defend the earth, as it were with a shield.
