“Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!”
Psalm 47 is a song of praise for the Lord our King. Try reciting this psalm with
hand gestures. (Younger children could repeat each line after the leader says it.)
Some suggested hand motions are pictured below. You may also want to provide
tambourines, little horns, and other musical instruments to use in praising the Lord.

“Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
