Psalms 47

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

Tshayani isandla, zizwe zonke, hlokomani kuNkulunkulu ngelizwi lentokozo.

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

Ngoba iNkosi, oPhezukonke, iyesabeka, yiNkosi enkulu phezu komhlaba wonke.

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

Izakwehlisela abantu ngaphansi kwethu, lezizwe ngaphansi kwenyawo zethu.

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

Izasikhethela ilifa lethu, udumo lukaJakobe emthandayo. (Sela)

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

UNkulunkulu wenyukile ngokuhlokoma, iNkosi ngokukhala kophondo.

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

Hlabelani indumiso kuNkulunkulu, hlabelelani indumiso. Hlabelani indumiso eNkosini yethu, hlabelelani indumiso.

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

Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yomhlaba wonke; hlabelelani indumiso ngokuqedisisa.

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

UNkulunkulu uyabusa phezu kwezizwe; uNkulunkulu uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sobungcwele bakhe.

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

Iziphathamandla zabantu zibuthene ndawonye, abantu bakaNkulunkulu kaAbrahama. Ngoba izihlangu zomhlaba zingezikaNkulunkulu; uphakeme kakhulu.
