Psalm 47 for Two Readers
1:Â Clap your hands, all peoples!
2:Â Â Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
1:Â For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared,
2:Â Â a great king over all the earth.
1:Â He subdued peoples under us,
2: Â Â Â and nations under our feet.
1:Â He chose our heritage for us,
2:Â Â the pride of Jacob whom he loves.
BOTH:Â God has gone up with a shout!
2:Â the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
1:Â Sing praises to God, sing praises!
2:Â Â Â Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
1:Â For God is the King of all the earth;
2:Â Â sing praises with a psalm!
1:Â Â God reigns over the nations;
2:Â Â Â Â God sits on his holy throne.
1: Â The princes of the peoples gather
as the people of the God of Abraham.
2:Â For the shields of the earth belong to God;
BOTH:Â Â Â he is highly exalted!
