Salme 47

1 (Til sangmesteren. Af Koras sønner. En salme.) Alle Folkeslag, klap i Hænderne, bryd ud i jublende Lovsang for Gud!

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples; Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

2 Thi HERREN, den Højeste, er frygtelig, en Konge stor over hele Jorden.

For Jehovah Most High is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth.

3 Han bøjede Folkefærd under os og Folkeslag under vor Fod;

He subdueth peoples under us, And nations under our feet.

4 han udvalgte os vor Arvelod, Jakob hans elskedes Stolthed. (Sela)

He chooseth our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

5 Gud steg op under Jubel, HERREN under Homets Klang.

God is gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Syng, ja syng for Gud, syng, ja syng for vor Konge;

Sing praises to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

7 thi han er al Jordens Konge, syng en Sang for Gud.

For God is the King of all the earth: Sing ye praises with understanding.

8 Gud har vist, han er Folkenes Konge, på sin hellige Trone har Gud taget Sæde.

God reigneth over the nations: God sitteth upon his holy throne.

9 Folkenes Stormænd samles med Folket, der tilhører Abrahams Gud; thi Guds er Jordens Skjolde, højt ophøjet er han!

The princes of the peoples are gathered together [To be] the people of the God of Abraham; For the shields of the earth belong unto God: He is greatly exalted.
