We Are Always Victorious!

Introduction

Psalm 47 KJV 1900

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. 1 O clap your hands, all ye people; Shout unto God with the voice of triumph. 2 For the Lord most high is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth. 3 He shall subdue the people under us, And the nations under our feet. 4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, The excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. 5 God is gone up with a shout, The Lord with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises. 7 For God is the King of all the earth: Sing ye praises with understanding. 8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. 9 The princes of the people are gathered together, Even the people of the God of Abraham: For the shields of the earth belong unto God: He is greatly exalted.
