Psalms 47

1 For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with a voice of exultation.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElamaDodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Qakezani izandla zenu, zizwe zonke; hlokomani kuNkulunkulu ngomsindo wokuthokoza.

2 For the Lord most high is terrible; [he is] a great king over all the earth.

Wesabeka kangakanani uThixo oPhezukonke, iNkosi enkulu kuwo wonke umhlaba!

3 He has subdued the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

Wazehlula zonke izizwe zaba ngaphansi kwethu, abantu babangaphansi kwezinyawo zethu.

4 He has chosen out his inheritance for us, the beauty of Jacob which he loved. (Pause)

Wasikhethela ilifa lethu, igugu likaJakhobe amthandayo.

5 God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with a sound of a trumpet.

UNkulunkulu usekhuphukile phakathi komsindo wentokozo, uThixo uphakathi kokukhala kwamacilongo.

6 Sing praises to our God, sing praises: sing praises to our King, sing praises.

Hlabelelani indumiso kuNkulunkulu, hlabelelani indumiso; hlabelelani indumiso eNkosini yethu, hlabelelani indumiso.

7 For God is king of all the earth: sing praises with understanding.

Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yomhlaba wonke; hlabelelani kuye ihubo lokudumisa.

8 God reigns over the nations: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.

UNkulunkulu uyazibusa izizwe; uNkulunkulu uhlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi esingcwele.

9 The rulers of the people are assembled with the God of Abraam: for God's mighty ones of the earth have been greatly exalted.

Izikhulu zezizwe ziyaqoqana njengabantu bakaNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, ngoba amakhosi omhlaba angakaNkulunkulu; uphakeme kakhulukazi.
