Psalm 47 

For the choir director: A psalm of the descendants of Korah. 

1 Come, everyone! Clap your hands! 
Shout to God with joyful praise! 
2 For the Lord Most High is awesome. 
He is the great King of all the earth. 
3 He subdues the nations before us, 
putting our enemies beneath our feet. 
4 He chose the Promised Land as our inheritance, 
the proud possession of Jacob’s descendants, whom he loves. 

5 God has ascended with a mighty shout. 
The Lord has ascended with trumpets blaring. 
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
