Psalms 47

1 Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

Psalmus David, in finem, pro filiis Core. Omnes Gentes plaudite manibus: iubilate Deo in voce exultationis.

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

Quoniam Dominus excelsus, terribilis: Rex magnus super omnem terram.

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

Subiecit populos nobis: et gentes sub pedibus nostris.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob [Supplanter] whom he 'ahav ·affectionately loved·. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

Elegit nobis hereditatem suam: speciem Iacob, quam dilexit.

5 God has gone up with a shout, Adonai with the sound of a shofar ·ram horn·.

Ascendit Deus in iubilo: et Dominus in voce tubae.

6 Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to God, sing zahmar ·musical praise·. Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to our King, sing zahmar ·musical praise·.

Psallite Deo nostro, psallite: psallite Regi nostro, psallite.

7 For God is the King of all the earth. Sing zahmar ·musical praise· with understanding.

Quoniam Rex omnis terrae Deus: psallite sapienter.

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

Regnabit Deus super gentes: Deus sedet super sedem sanctam suam.

9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude]. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted!

Principes populorum congregati sunt cum Deo Abraham: quoniam dii fortes terrae, vehementer elevati sunt.
