Psalms 47

1 Unto the end. A Psalm for the sons of Korah. All nations, clap your hands. Shout joyfully to God with a voice of exultation.

Tshayani isandla, zizwe zonke, hlokomani kuNkulunkulu ngelizwi lentokozo.

2 For the Lord is exalted and terrible: a great King over all the earth.

Ngoba iNkosi, oPhezukonke, iyesabeka, yiNkosi enkulu phezu komhlaba wonke.

3 He has subjected the peoples to us and subdued the nations under our feet.

Izakwehlisela abantu ngaphansi kwethu, lezizwe ngaphansi kwenyawo zethu.

4 He has chosen us for his inheritance: the splendor of Jacob, whom he has loved.

Izasikhethela ilifa lethu, udumo lukaJakobe emthandayo. (Sela)

5 God ascends with jubilation, and the Lord with the voice of the trumpet.

UNkulunkulu wenyukile ngokuhlokoma, iNkosi ngokukhala kophondo.

6 Sing psalms to our God, sing psalms. Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms.

Hlabelani indumiso kuNkulunkulu, hlabelelani indumiso. Hlabelani indumiso eNkosini yethu, hlabelelani indumiso.

7 For God is the King of all the earth. Sing psalms wisely.

Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yomhlaba wonke; hlabelelani indumiso ngokuqedisisa.

8 God will reign over the peoples. God sits upon his holy throne.

UNkulunkulu uyabusa phezu kwezizwe; uNkulunkulu uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sobungcwele bakhe.

9 The leaders of the peoples have been gathered together by the God of Abraham. For the strong gods of the earth have been exceedingly exalted.

Iziphathamandla zabantu zibuthene ndawonye, abantu bakaNkulunkulu kaAbrahama. Ngoba izihlangu zomhlaba zingezikaNkulunkulu; uphakeme kakhulu.
