< Psalmorum 47 >
1 In finem, pro filiis Core. Psalmus. [Omnes gentes, plaudite manibus; jubilate Deo in voce exsultationis:
O CLAP your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2 quoniam Dominus excelsus, terribilis, rex magnus super omnem terram.
For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
3 Subjecit populos nobis, et gentes sub pedibus nostris.
He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
4 Elegit nobis hæreditatem suam; speciem Jacob quam dilexit.
He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)
5 Ascendit Deus in jubilo, et Dominus in voce tubæ.
God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Psallite Deo nostro, psallite; psallite regi nostro, psallite:
Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7 quoniam rex omnis terræ Deus, psallite sapienter.
For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
8 Regnabit Deus super gentes; Deus sedet super sedem sanctam suam.
God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
9 Principes populorum congregati sunt cum Deo Abraham, quoniam dii fortes terræ vehementer elevati sunt.]
The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.
