Psalms 47

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

Au maître de chant. Des fils de Coré. Psaume. Vous tous, peuples, battez des mains, célébrez Dieu par des cris d'allégresse!

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

Car Yahweh est très haut, redoutable, grand roi sur toute la terre.

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

Il nous assujettit les peuples, il met les nations sous nos pieds.

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.

Il nous choisit notre héritage, la gloire de Jacob, son bien-aimé. — Séla.

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

Dieu monte à son sanctuaire au milieu des acclamations; Yahweh, au son de la trompette.

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

Chantez à Dieu, chantez! chantez à notre Roi, chantez!

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

Car Dieu est roi de toute la terre; chantez un cantique de louange.

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

Dieu règne sur les nations, il siège sur son trône saint.

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.

Les princes des peuples se réunissent pour former aussi un peuple du Dieu d'Abraham; car à Dieu sont les boucliers de la terre; Il est souverainement élevé.
