歌颂 神是全地的王

可拉子孙的诗,交给诗班长。

47 万民哪!你们都要鼓掌,

要向 神欢声呼喊;

因为耶和华至高者是可敬畏的,

他是统治全地的大君王。

他要使万民臣服在我们之下,

使列国臣服在我们的脚下。

他为我们选择了我们的产业,

就是他所爱的雅各的荣耀。

(细拉)

 神在欢呼声中上升,

耶和华在号角声中上升。

你们要歌颂,歌颂 神;

你们要歌颂,歌颂我们的王。

因为 神是全地的王,

你们要用诗歌歌颂他。

 神作王统治列国,

 神坐在他的圣宝座上。

万民中的显贵都聚集起来,

要作亚伯拉罕的 神的子民;

因为地上的君王(“君王”原文作“盾牌”)都归顺 神;

他被尊为至高。

47 1 The Prophet exhorteth all people to the worship of the true and everlasting God, commending the mercy of God toward the posterity of Jacob. 9 And after prophesieth of the kingdom of Christ in the time of the Gospel.

To him that excelleth. A Psalm committed to the sons of Korah.

All people [a]clap your hands; sing loud unto God with a joyful voice.

For the Lord is high, and terrible; a great King over all the earth.

He hath [b]subdued the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

He hath chosen [c]our inheritance for us: even the glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

God is gone up with triumph, even the Lord with the [d]sound of the trumpet.

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

For God is the king of all the earth: sing praises everyone that hath [e]understanding.

God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon his holy Throne.

The princes of the people are gathered unto the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the world belong to God: he [f]is greatly to be exalted.
