Psalms47

Psalm 47 is a universal call to worship, urging all peoples to celebrate God's supreme kingship with shouts and praises. It declares the LORD Most High as a terrible and great King over all the earth, who subdues nations and chooses Israel's inheritance. The psalm culminates in the affirmation that God reigns over the heathen from His holy throne, greatly exalted.

Call to Universal Worship

1
To the Overseer. --By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,
2
For Jehovah Most High is fearful, A great king over all the earth.
3
He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
4
He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. Selah.

God's Triumphal Ascent

5
God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
6
Praise God--praise--give praise to our king, praise.
7
For king of all the earth is God, Give praise, O understanding one.

The LORD Reigns Over All Nations

8
God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,
9
Nobles of peoples have been gathered, With the people of the God of Abraham, For to God are the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
