Zaburi 47

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

For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with the sound of triumph.

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

For Yahweh Most High is terrifying; he is a great King over all the earth.

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

He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet.

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

He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

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

God has gone up with a shout, Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet.

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

Sing praises to 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 the King over 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 on his holy throne.

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 princes of the peoples have gathered together to the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.
