Psalms 47

1 To the choirmaster - of [the] sons of Korah a psalm. O all the peoples strike a palm shout for joy to God with [the] sound of a shout of joy.

Tshayani isandla, zizwe zonke, hlokomani kuNkulunkulu ngelizwi lentokozo.

2 For Yahweh [the] Most High [is] to be feared a king great over all the earth.

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

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

Izakwehlisela abantu ngaphansi kwethu, lezizwe ngaphansi kwenyawo zethu.

4 He chooses for us inheritance our [the] pride of Jacob whom he loved (Selah)

Izasikhethela ilifa lethu, udumo lukaJakobe emthandayo. (Sela)

5 He has gone up God with a shout of joy Yahweh with [the] sound of a ram's horn.

UNkulunkulu wenyukile ngokuhlokoma, iNkosi ngokukhala kophondo.

6 Sing praises to God sing praises sing praises to king our sing praises.

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

7 For [is] [the] king of all the earth God sing praises a poem.

Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yomhlaba wonke; hlabelelani indumiso ngokuqedisisa.

8 He reigns God over nations God he sits - on [the] throne of holiness his.

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

9 Noble [people] of peoples - they have gathered [the] people of [the] God of Abraham for [belong] to God [the] shields of earth exceedingly he is exalted.

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