Psalms 47

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout unto God with a voice of triumph.

In finem, pro filiis Core. Psalmus. Omnes gentes, plaudite manibus; jubilate Deo in voce exsultationis:

2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

quoniam Dominus excelsus, terribilis, rex magnus super omnem terram.

3 He subdues nations beneath us, and peoples under our feet.

Subjecit populos nobis, et gentes sub pedibus nostris.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loves.

Elegit nobis hæreditatem suam; speciem Jacob quam dilexit.

5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD with the sound of the horn.

Ascendit Deus in jubilo, et Dominus in voce tubæ.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!

Psallite Deo nostro, psallite; psallite regi nostro, psallite:

7 For God is King of all the earth; sing profound praises to Him.

quoniam rex omnis terræ Deus, psallite sapienter.

8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.

Regnabit Deus super gentes; Deus sedet super sedem sanctam suam.

9 The nobles of the nations have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.

Principes populorum congregati sunt cum Deo Abraham, quoniam dii fortes terræ vehementer elevati sunt.
