Psalms 47:4

Israel

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

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

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.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
