Psalms 47

1 For the leader. Of the Korahites. A psalm. Clap your hands, all you peoples: shout to God in ringing cries.

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

2 For the Lord is most high and dread, a great king over all the earth.

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

3 He subdues the peoples under us, the nations under our feet;

Han legger folkeslag under oss og folkeferd under våre føtter.

4 he chooses our heritage for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loves. (Selah)

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

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

Gud fór op under jubelrop, Herren under basuners lyd.

6 Sing praise to our God, sing praises: sing praise to our king, sing praises.

Lovsyng Gud, lovsyng! Lovsyng vår konge, lovsyng!

7 For king of all earth is he: praise God in a skilful song.

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

8 God is king over all the nations, God sits on his holy throne.

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

9 Princes of nations gather with the people of Abraham’s God: for the shields of the earth are God’s; greatly exalted is he.

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