Psalms 47

1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Everyone, clap your hands! Shout with joy to the Lord!

Til sangmesteren; av Korahs barn; en salme. Klapp i hender, alle folk, juble for Gud med fryderop.

2 For the Lord Most High is awe-inspiring; he is the great King of all the earth.

For Herren, den Høieste, er forferdelig, en stor konge over all jorden.

3 He subdues other peoples under us; he puts nations under our feet.

Han legger folkeslag under oss og folkeferd under våre føtter.

4 He chose the land for us to own; the proud possession of Jacob's descendants whom he loves. (Selah)

Han utvelger oss vår arvelodd, Jakobs, hans elskedes herlighet. (Sela)

5 God ascends his throne with a great shout, the Lord is accompanied by the sound of the trumpet.

Gud fór op under jubelrop, Herren under basuners lyd.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!

Lovsyng Gud, lovsyng! Lovsyng vår konge, lovsyng!

7 For God is King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!

For Gud er all jordens konge; syng en sang som gjør vis!

8 God rules over the nations; he sits on his holy throne.

Gud er konge over folkene, Gud har satt sig på sin hellige trone.

9 The rulers of the nations gather together with the people of the God of Abraham, for the defenders of the earth belong to God. He is highly honored everywhere.

Folkenes fyrster samler sig med Abrahams Guds folk; for jordens skjold hører Gud til, han er såre ophøiet.
