Psalms 47

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. All people clap your hands: sing loude vnto God with a ioyfull voyce.

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 is high, and terrible: a great King ouer all the earth.

For the Lord is hiy and ferdful; a greet kyng on al erthe.

3 He hath subdued the people vnder vs, and the nations vnder our feete.

He made puplis suget to vs; and hethene men vndur oure feet.

4 Hee hath chosen our inheritance for vs: euen the glory of Iaakob whom he loued. (Selah)

He chees his eritage to vs; the fairnesse of Jacob, whom he louyde.

5 God is gone vp with triumph, euen the Lord, with the sound of the trumpet.

God stiede in hertli song; and the Lord in the vois of a trumpe.

6 Sing prayses to God, sing prayses: sing prayses vnto our King, sing prayses.

Synge ye to oure God, synge ye; synge ye to oure kyng, synge ye.

7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing prayses euery one that hath vnderstanding.

For God is kyng of al erthe; synge ye wiseli.

8 God reigneth ouer the heathen: God sitteth vpon his holy throne.

God schal regne on hethene men; God sittith on his hooli seete.

9 The princes of the people are gathered vnto the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the world belong to God: he is greatly to be exalted.

The princes of puplis ben gaderid togidere with God of Abraham; for the stronge goddis of erthe ben reisid greetli.
