Psalm 47

1You people all over the world, clap your hands for joy! to praise God! 2Yahweh, who is much greater than any other god, is awesome; he is the king who rules over all the world! 3He enabled us to defeat the armies of the people-groups that lived in Canaan. 4He chose for us this land where we now live; we Israeli people [MTY], whom he loves, are proud that we own this land. 5God has gone up into his temple. The people shouted joyfully and blew trumpets as Yahweh went up. 6Sing songs to praise our God! to praise him [DOU]! to God, our king! 7God is the one who rules over everything in the world; sing a psalm to him! 8God sits on his sacred throne as he rules over the people of all ethnic groups.
