Psalms 47

1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

(Til sangmesteren. Af Koras sønner. En salme.) Alle Folkeslag, klap i Hænderne, bryd ud i jublende Lovsang for Gud!

2 For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.

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

3 He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

Han bøjede Folkefærd under os og Folkeslag under vor Fod;

4 He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)

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

5 God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

Gud steg op under Jubel, HERREN under Homets Klang.

6 Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.

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

7 For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.

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

8 God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,

Gud har vist, han er Folkenes Konge, på sin hellige Trone har Gud taget Sæde.

9 Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!

Folkenes Stormænd samles med Folket, der tilhører Abrahams Gud; thi Guds er Jordens Skjolde, højt ophøjet er han!
