Psalms 47

(A psalm for the people of Korah and for the music leader.)

God Rules the Nations

1 All of you nations,
clap your hands
    and shout
    joyful praises to God.
2 The Lord Most High is fearsome,
    the ruler of all the earth.
3 God has put every nation
    under our power,
4 and he chose for us the land
    that was the pride of Jacob,
    his favorite.

5 God goes up to his throne,
    as people shout
    and trumpets blast.
6 Sing praises to God our King,
7     the ruler of all the earth!
    Praise God with songs.

8 God rules the nations
    from his sacred throne.
9 Their leaders come together
    and are now the people
    of Abraham's God.
All rulers on earth
surrender their weapons,
    and God is greatly praised!
