2022 VERSION: Vocals re-recorded -- Song remixed and remastered!
Originally released November 10, 2017

I want to list some notable things in this project.

(1.) For this 2022 version, a choir was recorded for the choruses! A choir of 24 individually recorded tracks of me!
(2.) I did my best to stay as true to the original words in Psalm 47 as possible, while making tweaks to make it work in English.
(3.) The last spoken part is taken from a song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32:3.
(4.) There are 12 recorded tracks of hand claps, representing the 12 tribes of Israel. It started with my noticing 10 claps were starting to sound huge, so I went all the way to 12 for fun. Adding different effects made it sound even larger.
(5.) When I almost say, instead of sing, "He overcomes the nations under Israel," that was inspired by Michael W. Smith's style of singing he does at times.
(6.) This is a combination of basically every style I've ever done.
(7.) The orchestration style is reminiscent of my Falling Winter Christmas album.

(8.) Did you catch the back and forth time signature changes from the normal 6/4 to 5/4?
(9.) Most piano parts were played by me in pieces using overdubbing techniques - only a few fast parts were programmed. The orchestra and piano parts were from Philharmonik software programmed with my MIDI keyboard.
(10.) The rhythm guitars were recorded with my Ibanez RG8 I used to own.

lyrics

_____________

Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to God our King!
For God is the King of all the earth, sing praises with a psalm!

Shout to God! Sing praise!

All nations, clap your hands, and joyfully shout to the LORD!
Yahweh, Most High, is awesome, the greatest King of the world
He overcomes the nations under Israel,
And puts the enemies at their feet
The Promised Land, their inheritance
His love for Jacob we sing!

God has risen with a mighty shout, the LORD ascends with trumpets aloud! Let us shout!

And sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to God our King!
For God is the King of all the earth, sing praises with a psalm!

The sovereign Lord of hosts, He reigns over nations alone,
For He is King, our ruler is seated on His holy throne
The nobles join together with the people of Abraham
For the kings of the earth belong to whom is exalted!

And sing praises!

Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to God our King!
For God is the King of all the earth, Sing praises!

Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to God our King!
For God is the King of all the earth, sing praises with a psalm!

I will proclaim Yahweh's name, declare the greatness of our God.
