Psalms 47

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

לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ לִבְנֵי־קֹ֬רַח מִזְמֹֽור׃ כָּֽל־הָ֭עַמִּים תִּקְעוּ־כָ֑ף הָרִ֥יעוּ לֵ֝אלֹהִ֗ים בְּקֹ֣ול רִנָּֽה׃

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

כִּֽי־יְהוָ֣ה עֶלְיֹ֣ון נֹורָ֑א מֶ֥לֶךְ גָּ֝דֹול עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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

יַדְבֵּ֣ר עַמִּ֣ים תַּחְתֵּ֑ינוּ וּ֝לְאֻמִּ֗ים תַּ֣חַת רַגְלֵֽינוּ׃

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.

יִבְחַר־לָ֥נוּ אֶת־נַחֲלָתֵ֑נוּ אֶ֥ת גְּאֹ֨ון יַעֲקֹ֖ב אֲשֶׁר־אָהֵ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃

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

עָלָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים בִּתְרוּעָ֑ה יְ֝הֹוָ֗ה בְּקֹ֣ול שֹׁופָֽר׃

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

זַמְּר֣וּ אֱלֹהִ֣ים זַמֵּ֑רוּ זַמְּר֖וּ לְמַלְכֵּ֣נוּ זַמֵּֽרוּ׃

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

כִּ֤י מֶ֖לֶךְ כָּל־הָאָ֥רֶץ אֱלֹהִ֗ים זַמְּר֥וּ מַשְׂכִּֽיל׃

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

מָלַ֣ךְ אֱ֭לֹהִים עַל־גֹּויִ֑ם אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים יָשַׁ֤ב ׀ עַל־כִּסֵּ֬א קָדְשֹֽׁו׃

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.

נְדִ֘יבֵ֤י עַמִּ֨ים ׀ נֶאֱסָ֗פוּ עַם֮ אֱלֹהֵ֪י אַבְרָ֫הָ֥ם כִּ֣י לֵֽ֭אלֹהִים מָֽגִנֵּי־אֶ֗רֶץ מְאֹ֣ד נַעֲלָֽה׃
