Psalm 47

New International Version

from Biblica
1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.2 For the Lord Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth.3 He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet.4 He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.[1]5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.9 The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings[2] of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.

Psalm 47

New International Reader’s Version

from Biblica
1 Clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with cries of joy.2 Do this because the LORD Most High is wonderful. He is the great King over the whole earth.3 He brought nations under our control. He made them fall under us.4 He chose our land for us. The people of Jacob are proud of their land, and God loves them.5 God went up to his throne while his people were shouting with joy. The LORD went up while trumpets were playing.6 Sing praises to God. Sing praises. Sing praises to our King. Sing praises.7 God is the King of the whole earth. Sing a psalm of praise to him.8 God rules over the nations. He is seated on his holy throne.9 The nobles of the nations come together. They are now part of the people of the God of Abraham. The kings of the earth belong to God. He is greatly honoured.
