Psalms 47 WEB
Summary: An enthronement hymn meant for jubilant, clapping worship, Psalm 47 announces that "God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet" (v. 5), likely reflecting a liturgical procession of the ark. It proclaims the LORD not merely Israel's God but "a great King over all the earth," who "reigns over the nations" and sits "on his holy throne" (v. 2, 7-8). It closes with a striking image of unity, the princes of the peoples gathering "as the people of the God of Abraham" (v. 9).
1Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
2For Yahweh Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.
3He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.
4He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved.
5God has gone up with a shout, Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet.
6Sing praises to God! Sing praises! Sing praises to our King! Sing praises!
7For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.
8God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.
9The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted!
