< Psalms 47 >
1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Everyone, clap your hands! Shout with joy to the Lord!
To victorie, a salm to the sones of Chore. Alle ye folkis, make ioie with hondis; synge ye hertli to God in the vois of ful out ioiyng.
2 For the Lord Most High is awe-inspiring; he is the great King of all the earth.
For the Lord is hiy and ferdful; a greet kyng on al erthe.
3 He subdues other peoples under us; he puts nations under our feet.
He made puplis suget to vs; and hethene men vndur oure feet.
4 He chose the land for us to own; the proud possession of Jacob's descendants whom he loves. (Selah)
He chees his eritage to vs; the fairnesse of Jacob, whom he louyde.
5 God ascends his throne with a great shout, the Lord is accompanied by the sound of the trumpet.
God stiede in hertli song; and the Lord in the vois of a trumpe.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!
Synge ye to oure God, synge ye; synge ye to oure kyng, synge ye.
7 For God is King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!
For God is kyng of al erthe; synge ye wiseli.
8 God rules over the nations; he sits on his holy throne.
God schal regne on hethene men; God sittith on his hooli seete.
9 The rulers of the nations gather together with the people of the God of Abraham, for the defenders of the earth belong to God. He is highly honored everywhere.
The princes of puplis ben gaderid togidere with God of Abraham; for the stronge goddis of erthe ben reisid greetli.
