Psalms 47

1 You people all [over the world], clap your hands for joy! Shout joyfully to [praise] God!

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. مَزْمُورٌ يَا جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ صَفِّقُوا بِالأَيَادِي، وَاهْتِفُوا للهِ هُتَافَ الابْتِهَاجِ.

2 Yahweh, who is much greater than any other god, is awesome; he is the king who rules over all the world!

٢ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ عَلِيٌّ مَخُوفٌ، مَلِكٌ عَظِيمٌ عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ.

3 He enabled us to defeat [the armies of] the people-groups [that lived in Canaan].

٣ يُخْضِعُ الشُّعُوبَ لَنَا، وَيَطْرَحُ الأُمَمَ تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِنَا.

4 He chose for us this land where we now live; we Israeli people [MTY], whom he loves, are proud that we own this land.

٤ يَخْتَارُ لَنَا مِيرَاثَنَا، فَخْرَ يَعْقُوبَ الَّذِي أَحَبَّهُ.

5 God has gone up [into his temple]. The people shouted joyfully and blew trumpets as Yahweh went up.

٥ ارْتَفَعَ اللهُ وَسَطَ الْهُتَافِ، ارْتَفَعَ الرَّبُّ وَسَطَ دَوِيِّ نَفْخِ الْبُوقِ.

6 Sing songs to praise our God! Sing to praise him [DOU]! Sing to God, our king!

٦ رَنِّمُوا لِلهِ، رَنِّمُوا. رَنِّمُوا لِمَلِكِنَا، رَنِّمُوا.

7 God is the one who rules over everything in the world; sing a psalm to him!

٧ لأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ مَلِكُ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. رَنِّمُوا لَهُ قَصِيدَةَ حَمْدٍ.

8 God sits on his sacred throne as he rules over the people of [all] ethnic groups.

٨ مَلَكَ اللهُ عَلَى الأُمَمِ، اللهُ جَلَسَ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ الْمُقَدَّسِ.

9 The rulers of those people-groups gather as God’s people, the people [descended] from Abraham, [do]. But God has more power than the weapons/shields [of all the kings] on the earth; (he is greatly honored/people honor him) everywhere.

٩ رُؤَسَاءُ الأُمَمِ اجْتَمَعُوا مَعَ شَعْبِ إِلَهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. لأَنَّ لِلهِ حُمَاةَ الأَرْضِ وَهُوَ مُتَعَالٍ جِدّاً.
