Psalm 47

Omnes gentes, plaudite

1
Clap your hands, all you peoples;
shout to God with a cry of joy.
2
For the LORD Most High is to be feared;
he is the great King over all the earth.
3
He subdues the peoples under us,
and the nations under our feet.
4
He chooses our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob whom he loves.
5
God has gone up with a shout,
the LORD with the sound of the ram's-horn.
6
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7
For God is King of all the earth;
sing praises with all your skill.
8
God reigns over the nations;
God sits upon his holy throne.
9
The nobles of the peoples have gathered together
with the people of the God of Abraham.
10
The rulers of the earth belong to God,
and he is highly exalted.
