Psalms 47

1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Everyone, clap your hands! Shout with joy to the Lord!

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

2 For the Lord Most High is awe-inspiring; he is the great King of all the earth.

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

3 He subdues other peoples under us; he puts nations under our feet.

Subjecit populos nobis, et gentes sub pedibus nostris.

4 He chose the land for us to own; the proud possession of Jacob's descendants whom he loves. (Selah)

Elegit nobis hæreditatem suam; speciem Jacob quam dilexit.

5 God ascends his throne with a great shout, the Lord is accompanied by the sound of the trumpet.

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 praises with a psalm!

quoniam rex omnis terræ Deus, psallite sapienter.

8 God rules over the nations; he sits on his holy throne.

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

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.

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