Psalms 47

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

In finem, pro filiis Core. Psalmus. Omnes gentes, plaudite manibus; jubilate Deo in voce exsultationis:

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

quoniam Dominus excelsus, terribilis, rex magnus super omnem terram.

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

Subjecit populos nobis, et gentes sub pedibus nostris.

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.

Elegit nobis hæreditatem suam; speciem Jacob quam dilexit.

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

Ascendit Deus in jubilo, et Dominus in voce tubæ.

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

Psallite Deo nostro, psallite; psallite regi nostro, psallite:

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

quoniam rex omnis terræ Deus, psallite sapienter.

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

Regnabit Deus super gentes; Deus sedet super sedem sanctam suam.

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.

Principes populorum congregati sunt cum Deo Abraham, quoniam dii fortes terræ vehementer elevati sunt.
