Psalm 47 Psalm Peoples, Clap Your Hands!
1. Peoples, clap your hands!
Shout to God with joy!
King of all the earth is the Lord Most High;
All humanity stands in awe of God.
With a mighty hand God brings nations low,
And beneath our feet casts down every foe;
Our inheritance comes from God the Lord.
2. God ascends the throne with a joyful cry,
And with trumpet sound has gone up on high;
Sing your praise to God, sing with joyful voice!
Rulers, peoples, now join to serve the Lord,
For earth's mighty ones all belong to God,
Who exalted reigns: now with psalms rejoice!
