Psalms 47

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

Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.

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

Alle Folkeslag, klap i Hænderne, bryd ud i jublende Lovsang for Gud!

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

Thi HERREN, den Højeste, er frygtelig, en Konge stor over hele Jorden.

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.

Han bøjede Folkefærd under os og Folkeslag under vor Fod;

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

han udvalgte os vor Arvelod, Jakob hans elskedes Stolthed. (Sela)

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

Gud steg op under Jubel, HERREN under Hornets Klang.

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

Syng, ja syng for Gud, syng, ja syng for vor Konge;

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

thi han er al Jordens Konge, syng en Sang for Gud.

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.

Gud har vist, han er Folkenes Konge, paa sin hellige Trone har Gud taget Sæde. Folkenes Stormænd samles med Folket, der tilhører Abrahams Gud; thi Guds er Jordens Skjolde, højt ophøjet er han!
