Psalm 47 Prayed

Psalm 47 Prayed Extend your reign, O King Jesus    Clap your hands, all you nations;             shout with us to God with cries of joy:    “How awesome is the Lord Most High,             Jesus is the great King over all the earth!”    O Lord Jesus, subdue the nations under the gospel,             put the peoples under your feet.    You have chosen the nations to be our inheritance,             the pride of your people, whom you love.    Jesus our God, you have ascended into heaven             amid shouts of joy,             as Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.    Your Father seated you at his right hand             in the heavenly realms,              far above all rule and authority, power and             dominion,             and every title that can be given,    not only in the present age             but also in the one to come.     And he placed all things under your feet             and appointed you to be head over everything             for us, the Church,     which is your body,             the fullness of you, who fills everything             in every way.    You ascended higher than all the heavens,             in order to fill the whole universe.    We sing praises to you, O God,             we sing your praises;    we sing praises to you King Jesus,             we sing your praises.    For you are our God, O Jesus,             you are the King of all the earth;             let the nations sing to you a psalm of praise.    You reign over the nations;             you are seated on your holy throne.    Help us to see you,             who was made a little lower than the angels,    now crowned with glory and honour,             because you suffered death,    so that by the grace of God,             you might taste death for everyone.    May the presidents of the nations assemble             as the people of the God of the Bible,             for the governments of the earth belong to you.    You are greatly exalted, O Jesus,             therefore let the nations of this world             administer true justice, and show mercy             and compassion to one another.    May their governments speak the truth             to each other,             and render true and sound judgement             in their courts.    May they not oppress the alien, the fatherless,             and the widow,             and not shed innocent blood.    May they not follow other gods             to their own harm.    And so let justice roll on like a river,             righteousness like a never-failing stream! Psalm 47 For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. 1   Clap your hands, all you nations;             shout to God with cries of joy. 2   How awesome is the LORD Most High,             the great King over all the earth! 3   He subdued nations under us,             peoples under our feet. 4   He chose our inheritance for us,             the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. Selah 5   God has ascended amid shouts of joy,             the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets. Eph. 1:20 which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,  21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.  22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,  23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Eph. 4:10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe. 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 to him a psalm of praise. 8   God reigns over the nations;             God is seated on his holy throne. Heb. 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honour because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. 9   The nobles of the nations assemble             as the people of the God of Abraham,       for the kings of the earth belong to God;             he is greatly exalted. Zech. 7:9 “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Zech. 8:16 These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; Jer. 7:6 if you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm, Amos 5:24  But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
