Psalm 47

Setting

All nations, clap your hands and shout!

Free Church of Scotland psalter · L.M.

The words

All nations, clap your hands and shout! Let joyful cries to God ring out! How awesome is the LORD Most High, Great King who rules the earth throughout!

He has subdued beneath our feet The nations who had been our foes. In blessing Jacob, whom he loved, A heritage for us he chose.

God has gone up with shouts of joy, The LORD amid the trumpets’ sound. Sing praise, sing praise to God Most High; To God our King let praise abound.

For God is King of all the earth; Sing psalms of praise to him alone. God rules the nations from on high; He sits upon his holy throne.

The leaders of the nations come To yield themselves to Abr’ham’s God. To him belong the shields of earth; Exalted greatly is the LORD!

How is this list ordered?

Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.

Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
