This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint.

God the king of entire world

Psa 47:1–9

47  For the musical director: a song[fn] by Korah’s descendants.

1 Clap your hands, all you peoples.

≈ Shout to God with a cheerful voice.

2 For Yahweh the highest one can be terrifying.

≈ He is a great king over the whole world.

3 He subdues peoples under us

≈ and puts nations under our control.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us—

→ the land which Yakov (who he loved) was proud of. (Instrumental break.)

5 God has gone up with a shout,

≈ Yahweh ascended with a trumpet blast.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises.

≈ Sing praises to our king, sing praises,

7 because God is the king over the whole world.

Sing praises with understanding.

8 God reigns over the nations.

≈ God sits on his sacred throne.

9 The nations’ leaders have gathered together to the people of Abraham’s god,

because God controls the nations’ defences.

He is greatly honoured.


47:0 In Hebrew, ‘maskil’ is perhaps the name of this class of song.
