Psalm 47

  1. Clap your hands all you peoples:
    cry out to God with shouts of joy.
  2. For the Lord most high is to be feared:
    and is the great sovereign over all the earth.
  3. The Lord has subdued the peoples under us:
    and the nations under our feet.
  4. The Lord chose a land to be our heritage:
    it is the pride of Jacob whom God loves.
  5. God has gone up with shouts of triumph:
    the Lord has gone up with a fanfare of trumpets.
  6. Song praises, sing praises to God:
    sing praises, sing praises to our king.
  7. For God is the king of all the earth:
    sing praises with your utmost skill.
  8. God reigns over the nations:
    God is seated on a holy throne.
  9. The princes of the nations assemble:
    with the people of the God of Abraham.
  10. For the mighty ones of the earth
    have become the servants of God:
    the Lord is exalted over all.

Collect

Jesus, light to Leo,
as he protected the church

to see our way.
Amen.
