Zaburi 47

1 Pigeni makofi, enyi watu wote; mpigieni Mungu kelele za ushindi.

For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with a voice of exultation.

2 Kwa maana Yahwe Aliye Juu anatisha; ni Mfalme mkuu dunia yote.

For the Lord most high is terrible; [he is] a great king over all the earth.

3 Yeye anawatiisha chini yetu na mataifa chini ya miguu yetu.

He has subdued the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

4 Yeye huchagua urithi kwa ajili yetu, utukufu wa Yakobo ambaye alimpenda. Serah

He has chosen out his inheritance for us, the beauty of Jacob which he loved. (Pause)

5 Mungu ameinuliwa juu kwa shangwe, Kwa mbiu ya shangwe Yahwe yu juu.

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

6 Mwimbieni Mungu sifa, imbeni sifa; mwimbieni sifa Mfalme wetu, imbeni sifa.

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

7 Kwa maana Mungu ni Mfalme duniani kote; mwimbieni mkiwa na uelewa.

For God is king of all the earth: sing praises with understanding.

8 Mungu anatawala mataifa yote; Mungu hukaa kwenye kiti cha enzi.

God reigns over the nations: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.

9 Wakuu wa watu wamekusanyika pamoja kwa watu wa Mungu wa Ibrahimu; kwa kuwa ngao za duniani ni za Mungu; yeye ameinuliwa juu sana.

The rulers of the people are assembled with the God of Abraam: for God's mighty ones of the earth have been greatly exalted.
