47Psalms

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. Ruler of All. Psalm 47(v46)
1 Clap your hands, all peoples!
Shout to God with loud songs of joy!

 
2 For Yahweh, the Most High, is terrible,
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,
Yahweh 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!

 
8 God reigns 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!

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes ?
