< Psalms 47 >

1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Everyone, clap your hands! Shout with joy to the Lord!
Til songmeisteren; av Korahs born; ein salme. Klappa i henderne, alle folk! Kved høgt for Gud med fagnadrøyst!
2 For the Lord Most High is awe-inspiring; he is the great King of all the earth.
For Herren, den Høgste, er ageleg, ein stor konge yver all jordi.
3 He subdues other peoples under us; he puts nations under our feet.
Han legg folk under oss og folkeslag under våre føter.
4 He chose the land for us to own; the proud possession of Jacob's descendants whom he loves. (Selah)
Han vel ut vår arvlut åt oss, til gilda for Jakob som han elskar. (Sela)
5 God ascends his throne with a great shout, the Lord is accompanied by the sound of the trumpet.
Gud for upp med fagnadrop, Herren med basunljod.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!
Syng lov for Gud, syng lov! Syng lov for vår konge, syng lov!
7 For God is King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!
For Gud er konge yver all jordi; syng til hans lov ein visleg song!
8 God rules over the nations; he sits on his holy throne.
Gud hev teke riket yver folki, Gud hev sett seg på sin heilage kongsstol.
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.
Folkedrottarne samlar seg som eit folk til Abrahams Gud; for skjoldarne på jordi høyrer Gud til, han er høgt upphøgd.
