Chapter 47

God is king of all the earth


To the chief musician, a psalm for the sons of Korah

1

Oh, clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

2

For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

3

He shall subdue the people under us and the nations under our feet.

4

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

5

God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

6

Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

7

For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises with understanding.

8

God reigneth over the heathen; God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

9

The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong unto God; he is greatly exalted.
