Psalm 47

Joy F. Patterson, 1990 ©

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 Psalm s rejoice!
