至高的主宰

可拉後裔的詩,交給樂長。

47 萬民啊,你們要鼓掌,
向上帝高聲歡呼!
因為至高者耶和華當受敬畏,
祂是普天下的大君王。
祂使列國降服於我們,
讓列邦伏在我們腳下。
祂為我們選定產業,
就是祂所愛的雅各引以為榮的產業。(細拉)

在歡呼聲中,上帝登上寶座;
在號角聲中,耶和華登上寶座。
要頌讚,頌讚上帝!
要頌讚,頌讚我們的君王!
因為上帝是普天下的君王,
要向祂唱讚美的樂章。
祂坐在聖潔的寶座上治理列國。
列邦的首領聚集在一起,
要做亞伯拉罕之上帝的子民,
因為上帝是主宰天下的君王,
祂至高無上。

Psalm 47

The King’s Empire

Heading
For the choir director. By the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

Praise the Great King of All the Earth!

All you peoples, clap your hands!
Shout to God! Sing a loud song!

Yes, the Lord Most High is awesome.
He is the great King over all the earth!
He subdues peoples under us
and nations under our feet.
He chooses our inheritance for us.
It is the pride of Jacob, whom he loves. Interlude
God has ascended with a joyful shout.
The Lord goes up with the sound of the ram’s horn.

Make music for God! Make music!
Make music for our King! Make music!
For God is the King of all the earth.
Make music for him with a wise song.

God reigns as king over the nations.
God is seated on his holy throne.
The nobles of the peoples come together
    as the people of the God of Abraham.
Yes, the shields of the earth[a] belong to God.
He is greatly exalted.
