Psalms 47

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph.

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

2 For YHWH Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.

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

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

Han legger folkeslag under oss og folkeferd under våre føtter.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

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

5 God has gone up with a shout, YHWH with the sound of a trumpet.

Gud fór op under jubelrop, Herren under basuners lyd.

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

Lovsyng Gud, lovsyng! Lovsyng vår konge, lovsyng!

7 For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.

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

8 God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.

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

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

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