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.

Til sangmesteren; av Korahs barn; en salme. Klapp i hender, alle folk, juble for Gud med fryderop.

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

For Herren, den Høieste, er forferdelig, en stor konge over all jorden.

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

Han legger folkeslag under oss og folkeferd under våre føtter.

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

Han utvelger oss vår arvelodd, Jakobs, hans elskedes herlighet. (Sela)

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

Gud fór op under jubelrop, Herren under basuners lyd.

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

Lovsyng Gud, lovsyng! Lovsyng vår konge, lovsyng!

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

For Gud er all jordens konge; syng en sang som gjør vis!

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

Gud er konge over folkene, Gud har satt sig på sin hellige trone.

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.

Folkenes fyrster samler sig med Abrahams Guds folk; for jordens skjold hører Gud til, han er såre ophøiet.
