Psalm 47

I plan to occasionally post hymns or psalms I've written. One project I'm working on is to essentially replicate the Psalms in modern meter and verse. Some are very close in content; others are more different. I suggest reading the Psalm along with my text for comparison.

Psalm 47
Shout to God with voice of triumph,
Clap your hands with sounds of mirth,
For the Lord subdues all people,
And is King o'er all the earth.

He shall choose our habitation,
We of royal Jacob's line.
Herald Him with sound of trumpet--
Bow before the throne divine.

Praises sing with understanding,
To the princes make Him known.
God, who reigneth o'er the nations,
Sitteth on His holy throne.
