Psalms 47
God, the King of the Earth.
1 (C1)Clap your hands, all you peoples;
(C2)Shout to God with a voice of joy.
2 For the LORD Most High is to be (C1)feared,
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
5 God has (C1)ascended (F1)with a shout,
The LORD, (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 psalm of wisdom.
8 God (C1)reigns over the nations,
God (F1)sits on (C2)His holy throne.
9 The (F1)(C1)princes of the people have assembled as the (C2)people of the God of Abraham,
For the (C3)shields of the earth belong to God;
He is (C4)highly exalted.
