Psalms 47

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

Veisuunjohtajalle; koorahilaisten virsi. Paukuttakaa käsiänne, kaikki kansat, kohottakaa Jumalalle riemuhuuto.

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

Sillä Herra on korkein, peljättävä, kaiken maan suuri kuningas.

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

Hän kukistaa kansat meidän allemme ja kansakunnat jalkaimme alle.

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.

Hän on valinnut meille perintömaamme, joka on Jaakobin, hänen rakkaansa, kunnia. (Sela)

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

Jumala astuu ylös riemun raikuessa, Herra pasunain pauhatessa.

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

Veisatkaa Jumalalle, veisatkaa, veisatkaa meidän kuninkaallemme, veisatkaa.

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

Sillä Jumala on kaiken maan kuningas. Veisatkaa hänelle virsi.

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

Jumala on kansojen kuningas, Jumala istuu pyhällä istuimellansa.

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.

Kansojen päämiehet kokoontuvat Aabrahamin Jumalan kansaksi. Sillä maan kilvet ovat Jumalan; hän on ylen korkea.
