Psalm 47:1-Psalm 48:1 - God Our King

1 For the music director; by the Korahites; a psalm. All you nations, clap your hands! Shout out to God in celebration! 2 For the sovereign Lord is awe-inspiring; he is the great king who rules the whole earth! 3 He subdued nations beneath us and countries under our feet. 4 He picked out for us a special land to be a source of pride for Jacob, whom he loves. (Selah)

5 God has ascended his throne amid loud shouts; the Lord has ascended his throne amid the blaring of ram's horns. 6 Sing to God! Sing! Sing to our king! Sing! 7 For God is king of the whole earth! Sing a well-written song!

8 God reigns over the nations! God sits on his holy throne! 9 The nobles of the nations assemble, along with the people of the God of Abraham, for God has authority over the rulers of the earth. He is highly exalted!

1 A song, a psalm by the Korahites. The Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise in the city of our God, his holy hill.
