Psalms 47

1 For the leader. Of the Korahites. A psalm. Clap your hands, all you peoples: shout to God in ringing cries.

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

2 For the Lord is most high and dread, a great king over all the earth.

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

3 He subdues the peoples under us, the nations under our feet;

Subiecit populos nobis: et gentes sub pedibus nostris.

4 he chooses our heritage for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loves. (Selah)

Elegit nobis hereditatem suam: speciem Iacob, quam dilexit.

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

Ascendit Deus in iubilo: et Dominus in voce tubæ.

6 Sing praise to our God, sing praises: sing praise to our king, sing praises.

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

7 For king of all earth is he: praise God in a skilful song.

Quoniam Rex omnis terræ Deus: psallite sapienter.

8 God is king over all the nations, God sits on his holy throne.

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

9 Princes of nations gather with the people of Abraham’s God: for the shields of the earth are God’s; greatly exalted is he.

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