Psalm 47 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

PSALM 47

A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

¹ All people, clap your hands; to God with voice of triumph shout:

² For dreadful is the Lord most high, great King the earth throughout.

³ The heathen people under us he surely shall subdue; And he shall make the nations under our feet to bow.

⁴ The lot of our inheritance chuse out for us shall he, Of Jacob, whom he loved well, ev'n the excellency.

⁵ God is with shouts gone up, the Lord with trumpets sounding high.

⁶ Sing praise to God, sing praise, sing praise, praise to our King sing ye.

⁷ For God is King of all the earth; with knowledge praise express.

⁸ God rules the nations: God sits on his throne of holiness.

⁹ The princes of the people are assembled willingly; Ev'n of the God of Abraham they who the people be. For why? the shields that do defend the earth are only his: They to the Lord belong; yea, he exalted greatly is.
