Chap. 47
1 To the chief musician; to the sons of Korah, a Psalm.
2 Clap your hands, all ye peoples; shout unto God with the voice of rejoicing.
3 For Jehovah most high [is] to be feared, a great King over all the earth.
4 He destroyeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
5 He chooseth our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom He hath loved. Selah.
6 God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the voice of a trumpet.
7 Sing praises unto God, sing praises; sing praises unto our King.
8 For King of all the earth is God; sing ye Maschil.1
9 God hath reigned over the Gentiles, God hath sat down upon the throne of His holiness.
10 The princes of the peoples are gathered together, [with] the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God [belong] the shields of the earth; he hath been greatly exalted.
