Psalter Number 418. Praise the Lord, Ye Lands - Psalm 47

1. Praise the Lord, ye lands,

Nations, clap your hands;

Shout aloud to God,

Spread His fame abroad;

Praise Him loud and long

With a triumph song;

Bow as ye draw nigh,

For the Lord Most High,

Terrible is He

In His dignity;

And His kingdom's girth

Circles all the earth.

2. God has gone on high

With a joyful cry;

Hosts with trumpet sound

Make His praise abound;

Sing ye praise to God,

Tell His fame abroad,

Take a psalm and shout,

Let His praise ring out,

Lift your voice and sing

Glory to our King;

He is Lord of earth,

Magnify His worth.

3. Praise His majesty

Understandingly;

God is King alone

On His holy throne,

Issues His commands

To all heathen lands.

Lo, the princes all

Gather at His call;

His the shields of earth,

His the power, the worth;

He, the God on high,

Is our Helper nigh.
