Psalm 47

Ps. 47

A psalm of the sons of Korah.

Tune: God Rest You Merry 14.14.14.14. with refrain

1   All na-tions clap your hands and un-to God in tri-umph shout!
2   How awe-some is the LORD Most High, great King the earth through-out!
3   Be-neath our feet he has subdued the nations all a-bout!

Refrain:
6   Prais-es sing!  Sing your prais-es un-to God!  His praise!
    Lift your voic-es and sing prais-es to our King!

4   He chose us our in-her-i-tance  --- Our home-land there is found ----
     He gave us this in Ja-cob, un-to whom his love a-bounds.
5a God has as-cend-ed in the midst of shouts and joy-ful sounds!

Refrain:
6   Prais-es sing!  Sing your prais-es un-to God!  His praise!
    Lift your voic-es and sing prais-es to our King!

5b The LORD as-cend-ed while the trum-pets rang with hap-py tone,
7   For God is King of all the earth; Sing praise to him a-lone.
8   God rules the na-tions; God is seat-ed on his holy throne.

Refrain:
6   Prais-es sing!  Sing your prais-es un-to God!  His praise!
    Lift your voic-es and sing prais-es to our King!

9  The princ-es and the no-bles of the na-tions now draw nigh;
    As peo-ple of the God of A-bra-ham, they u-ni-fy;
    for this world's shields be-long to God, he is ex-alt-ed high!


Refrain:
6   Prais-es sing!  Sing your prais-es un-to God!  His praise!
    Lift your voic-es and sing prais-es to our King!

Favorite Paraphrase of Psalm 47

1. All nations, clap your hands,
Let shouts of triumph ring,
For mighty over all the lands
The Lord Most High is King.

2. Above our mighty foes
He gave us power to stand,
And as our heritage He chose
The goodly promised land.

3. With shouts ascends our King,
With trumpet's stirring call;
Praise God, praise God, His praises sing,
For God is Lord of all.

4. O sing in joyful strains,
And make His glory known;
God over all the nations reigns,
And holy is His throne.

5. Our fathers' God to own
The kings of earth draw nigh,
For none can save but God alone,
He is the Lord Most High.
