The New Revised Standard Version   
Psalms 47: 1 - 9 - Study This Chapter
 

1 Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with loud songs of joy. 2 For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome, a great king over all the earth. 3 He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. 4 He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. (Selah)

5 God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. 7 For God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm. F90 8 God is king over the nations; God sits on his holy throne. 9 The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted.

The Message   
Psalms 47: 1 - 9 - Study This Chapter
 

1 Applause, everyone. Bravo, bravissimo! Shout God-songs at the top of your lungs! 2 God Most High is stunning, astride land and ocean. 3 He crushes hostile people, puts nations at our feet. 4 He set us at the head of the line, prize-winning Jacob, his favorite.

5 Loud cheers as God climbs the mountain, a ram's horn blast at the summit. 6 Sing songs to God, sing out! Sing to our King, sing praise! 7 He's Lord over earth, so sing your best songs to God. 8 God is Lord of godless nations - sovereign, he's King of the mountain. 9 Princes from all over are gathered, people of Abraham's God. The powers of earth are God's - he soars over all.
