Psalms 47
A burst of enthronement praise calling all nations to clap and shout as God ascends his throne as King over the whole earth. It picks up the international scope of Psalm 46 and turns relief into festival. Watch the sound design: hands clapping, a triumphant shout, the trumpet, and the fivefold command to "sing praises" in verses 6 and 7, all framing a God who reigns not just over Israel but over every people.
- 1
Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
- 2
For the LORD Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.
- 3
He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.
- 4
He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
- 5
God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
- 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 praises with understanding.
- 8
God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.
- 9
The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted!
- 1
Ó, batam palmas, todas as nações. Aclamem a Deus com voz de triunfo!
- 2
Pois o SENHOR Altíssimo é temível. Ele é um grande Rei sobre toda a terra.
- 3
Ele subjuga as nações debaixo de nós, e os povos debaixo dos nossos pés.
- 4
Ele escolhe a nossa herança para nós, a glória de Jacó, a quem ele amou. Selá.
- 5
Deus subiu com um brado, o SENHOR com o som da trombeta.
- 6
Cantem louvores a Deus! Cantem louvores! Cantem louvores ao nosso Rei! Cantem louvores!
- 7
Pois Deus é o Rei de toda a terra. Cantem louvores com entendimento.
- 8
Deus reina sobre as nações. Deus está assentado em seu santo trono.
- 9
Os príncipes dos povos estão reunidos, o povo do Deus de Abraão. Pois os escudos da terra pertencem a Deus. Ele é grandemente exaltado!
God has gone up
Verse 5, "God has gone up with a shout," pictures an enthronement procession, and the same verb later shaped Christian readings of the Ascension.
The close in verse 9 widens the circle further: the princes of the peoples gather as "the people of the God of Abraham," reaching back to the promise that all nations would be blessed through him.
