Psalms 47

1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

Tshayani isandla, zizwe zonke, hlokomani kuNkulunkulu ngelizwi lentokozo.

2 For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.

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

3 He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

Izakwehlisela abantu ngaphansi kwethu, lezizwe ngaphansi kwenyawo zethu.

4 He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)

Izasikhethela ilifa lethu, udumo lukaJakobe emthandayo. (Sela)

5 God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

UNkulunkulu wenyukile ngokuhlokoma, iNkosi ngokukhala kophondo.

6 Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.

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

7 For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.

Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yomhlaba wonke; hlabelelani indumiso ngokuqedisisa.

8 God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,

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

9 Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!

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