Psalms 47

Open Word Bible

All you peoples, clap your hands! Raise a shout to God with ringing cries of joy! For the LORD Most High inspires awe; he is the great King who rules the whole earth. He brings peoples under our rule and lays nations at our feet. He picked out our heritage for us, the glory of Jacob, the one he loved. Selah God has gone up amid shouting; the LORD has gone up as the ram’s horn sounds. Make music to God, make music! Make music to our King, make music! For God reigns as King of all the earth; make music with a skillful psalm. God now rules as King over the nations; upon his holy throne God sits. The princes of the peoples come together to be the people of Abraham’s God. For the shields of the earth are God’s; he is raised high above all.
