Psalms 47 — Clap Your Hands, All Ye People

Summary

O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. He shall subdue the people under us. God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
