Psalms 47

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye people; shout to God with the voice of triumph.

Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.

2 For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King over all the earth.

Alle Folkeslag, klap i Hænderne, bryd ud i jublende Lovsang for Gud!

3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

Thi HERREN, den Højeste, er frygtelig, en Konge stor over hele Jorden.

4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellence of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

Han bøjede Folkefærd under os og Folkeslag under vor Fod;

5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

han udvalgte os vor Arvelod, Jakob hans elskedes Stolthed. (Sela)

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

Gud steg op under Jubel, HERREN under Hornets Klang.

7 For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

Syng, ja syng for Gud, syng, ja syng for vor Konge;

8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

thi han er al Jordens Konge, syng en Sang for Gud.

9 The princes of the people are assembled, [even] the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth [belong] to God: he is greatly exalted.

Gud har vist, han er Folkenes Konge, paa sin hellige Trone har Gud taget Sæde. Folkenes Stormænd samles med Folket, der tilhører Abrahams Gud; thi Guds er Jordens Skjolde, højt ophøjet er han!
