Psalms 47

1 For the Leader; a Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye peoples; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

Tshayani isandla, zizwe zonke, hlokomani kuNkulunkulu ngelizwi lentokozo.

2 For the LORD is most high, awful; a great King over all the earth.

Ngoba iNkosi, oPhezukonke, iyesabeka, yiNkosi enkulu phezu komhlaba wonke.

3 He subdueth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

Izakwehlisela abantu ngaphansi kwethu, lezizwe ngaphansi kwenyawo zethu.

4 He chooseth our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob whom He loveth. (Selah)

Izasikhethela ilifa lethu, udumo lukaJakobe emthandayo. (Sela)

5 God is gone up amidst shouting, the LORD amidst the sound of the horn.

UNkulunkulu wenyukile ngokuhlokoma, iNkosi ngokukhala kophondo.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

Hlabelani indumiso kuNkulunkulu, hlabelelani indumiso. Hlabelani indumiso eNkosini yethu, hlabelelani indumiso.

7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises in a skilful song.

Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yomhlaba wonke; hlabelelani indumiso ngokuqedisisa.

8 God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon His holy throne.

UNkulunkulu uyabusa phezu kwezizwe; uNkulunkulu uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sobungcwele bakhe.

9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God belong the shields of the earth; He is greatly exalted.

Iziphathamandla zabantu zibuthene ndawonye, abantu bakaNkulunkulu kaAbrahama. Ngoba izihlangu zomhlaba zingezikaNkulunkulu; uphakeme kakhulu.
