< Psalmorum 47 >
1 In finem, pro filiis Core Psalmus. Omnes gentes plaudite manibus: iubilate Deo in voce exultationis.
For the Leader; a Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye peoples; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2 Quoniam Dominus excelsus, terribilis: Rex magnus super omnem terram.
For the LORD is most high, awful; a great King over all the earth.
3 Subiecit populos nobis: et gentes sub pedibus nostris.
He subdueth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
4 Elegit nobis hereditatem suam: speciem Iacob, quam dilexit.
He chooseth our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob whom He loveth. (Selah)
5 Ascendit Deus in iubilo: et Dominus in voce tubæ.
God is gone up amidst shouting, the LORD amidst the sound of the horn.
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 in a skilful song.
8 Regnabit Deus super gentes: Deus sedet super sedem sanctam suam.
God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon His holy throne.
9 Principes populorum congregati sunt cum Deo Abraham: quoniam dii fortes terræ, vehementer elevati sunt.
The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God belong the shields of the earth; He is greatly exalted.
