Psalm XLVII.

1

O clap your hands, and shout to God
To him triumphing sing:
For he is Lord of all the earth,
The great and dreadful King.

2

'Tis he that makes our enemies yield,
And stoop to our command;
'Tis he that chose our heritage,
That sweet and pleasant land.

72

3

With found of trumpets and with shouts,
Our Sion hill doth ring:
Sing praises to our God, they cry,
Sing praises to our King.

4

For God is King of all the earth,
Sing praises then with skill:
He rules the heathen from his throne,
Upon his holy hill.

5

To him, the God of Abraham,
All kings shall homage pay:
For all the powers on earth are his,
And they shall him obey.
