Psalms 47:3

1 Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout unto God with a voice of triumph.

2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

He subdues nations beneath us, and peoples under our feet.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loves. Selah

5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD with the sound of the horn.
