Psalms 47

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye people; shout to God with the voice of triumph.

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

2 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

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

3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

Yeye anawatiisha chini yetu na mataifa chini ya miguu yetu.

4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

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

9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong to God: he is greatly exalted.

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