Psalms 47

1 To victorie, a salm to the sones of Chore. Alle ye folkis, make ioie with hondis; synge ye hertli to God in the vois of ful out ioiyng.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. All people clap your hands: sing loude vnto God with a ioyfull voyce.

2 For the Lord is hiy and ferdful; a greet kyng on al erthe.

For the Lord is high, and terrible: a great King ouer all the earth.

3 He made puplis suget to vs; and hethene men vndur oure feet.

He hath subdued the people vnder vs, and the nations vnder our feete.

4 He chees his eritage to vs; the fairnesse of Jacob, whom he louyde.

Hee hath chosen our inheritance for vs: euen the glory of Iaakob whom he loued. (Selah)

5 God stiede in hertli song; and the Lord in the vois of a trumpe.

God is gone vp with triumph, euen the Lord, with the sound of the trumpet.

6 Synge ye to oure God, synge ye; synge ye to oure kyng, synge ye.

Sing prayses to God, sing prayses: sing prayses vnto our King, sing prayses.

7 For God is kyng of al erthe; synge ye wiseli.

For God is the King of all the earth: sing prayses euery one that hath vnderstanding.

8 God schal regne on hethene men; God sittith on his hooli seete.

God reigneth ouer the heathen: God sitteth vpon his holy throne.

9 The princes of puplis ben gaderid togidere with God of Abraham; for the stronge goddis of erthe ben reisid greetli.

The princes of the people are gathered vnto the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the world belong to God: he is greatly to be exalted.
