[ Read](/kjv/psalms/47)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/47)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/47) Audio

 1 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.*

 2 For the LORD most high *is* terrible; *he is* a great King over all the earth.

 3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

 4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

 5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

 7 For God *is* the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.*

 8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

 9 The princes of the people are gathered together, *even* the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth *belong* unto God: he is greatly exalted.*

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
[Psalms 47:0](/kjv/psalms/47/0). 

*The nations are exhorted cheerfully to entertain the kingdom of Christ.* 

To the chief musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. 

***Title.*****מזמר********קרח********לבני********למנצח*********lamnatseach libnei korach mizmor.*****—** This psalm, says Bishop Patrick, is thought by some to have been composed by David, when he translated the ark to mount Sion: Others think that it was composed by some of the sons of Korah, when the ark was brought from mount Sion to Solomon's temple. The psalm, however, is supposed to have a higher sense; for, as the ark was a figure of Christ, and mount Sion of the heavens, the translation or carrying back of the ark thither may be looked upon as a figure of Christ's ascension into the high and holy place.
