Psalms 47:7
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!
For God is King of all the earth; sing profound praises to Him.
8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.
9 The nobles of the nations have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
