Psalms 47

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with the sound of triumph.

In finem, pro filiis Core Psalmus. Omnes gentes plaudite manibus: iubilate Deo in voce exultationis.

2 For Yahweh Most High is terrifying; he is a great King over all the earth.

Quoniam Dominus excelsus, terribilis: Rex magnus super omnem terram.

3 He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet.

Subiecit populos nobis: et gentes sub pedibus nostris.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

Elegit nobis hereditatem suam: speciem Iacob, quam dilexit.

5 God has gone up with a shout, Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet.

Ascendit Deus in iubilo: et Dominus in voce tubæ.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

Psallite Deo nostro, psallite: psallite Regi nostro, psallite.

7 For God is the King over all the earth; sing praises with understanding.

Quoniam Rex omnis terræ Deus: psallite sapienter.

8 God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.

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

9 The princes of the peoples have gathered together to the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.

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