Psalms 47

The nations are exhorted cheerfully to entertain the Kingdom of Christ.

 47:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.]] All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

 47:2 For Jehovah, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth.

 47:3 He subdueth the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

 47:4 He hath chosen our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

 47:5 God is gone up amid shouting, Jehovah amid the sound of the trumpet.

 47:6 Sing psalms of God, sing psalms; sing psalms unto our King, sing psalms!

 47:7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing psalms with understanding.

 47:8 God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

 47:9 The willing-hearted of the peoples have gathered together, [with] the people of the God of Abraham. For unto God [belong] the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.
