Psalms 47
God Is King of All the Earth
1 O (C1)clap your hands, all peoples;
(C2)Make a loud shout to God with the sound of a shout of (F1)joy.
2 For Yahweh Most High is (F1)(C1)fearsome,
A (C2)great King over all the earth.
3 He (C1)subdues peoples under us
And nations under our feet.
4 He chooses our (C1)inheritance for us,
The (C2)pride of Jacob whom He loves. Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F1)Selah.
5 God has (C1)ascended (F1)with a loud shout,
Yahweh, (F1)with the (C2)sound of a trumpet.
6 (C1)Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to (C2)our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the (C1)King of all the earth;
Sing praises (C2)with a (F1)skillful psalm.
8 God (C1)reigns over the nations,
God (F1)sits on (C2)His holy throne.
9 The (C1)nobles of the peoples have assembled themselves with the (C2)people of the God of Abraham,
For the (C3)shields of the earth belong to God;
He (F1)is (C4)highly exalted.
