GOD'S WORD Translation

Psalms • Chapter 47

1 Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God (Elohim) with the voice of triumph! 2 For Yahweh Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth. 3 He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet. 4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. 5 God (Elohim) has gone up with a shout, Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God (Elohim), sing praises. Sing praises to our King, sing praises. 7 For God (Elohim) is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding. 8 God (Elohim) reigns over the nations. God (Elohim) sits on his holy throne. 9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God (Elohim) of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God (Elohim). He is greatly exalted!
