至高的主宰

可拉后裔的诗,交给乐长。

47 万民啊,你们要鼓掌,
向上帝高声欢呼!
因为至高者耶和华当受敬畏,
祂是普天下的大君王。
祂使列国降服于我们,
让列邦伏在我们脚下。
祂为我们选定产业,
就是祂所爱的雅各引以为荣的产业。(细拉)

在欢呼声中,上帝登上宝座;
在号角声中,耶和华登上宝座。
要颂赞,颂赞上帝!
要颂赞,颂赞我们的君王!
因为上帝是普天下的君王,
要向祂唱赞美的乐章。
祂坐在圣洁的宝座上治理列国。
列邦的首领聚集在一起,
要做亚伯拉罕之上帝的子民,
因为上帝是主宰天下的君王,
祂至高无上。

God the King of the Earth.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

47 Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples;
Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
For [a]Jehovah Most High is terrible;
He is a great King over all the earth.
He subdueth peoples under us,
And nations under our feet.
He chooseth our inheritance for us,
The glory of Jacob whom he [b]loved. Selah
God is gone up with a shout,
Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises:
Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth:
Sing ye praises [c]with understanding.
God reigneth over the nations:
God sitteth upon his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples are gathered together
[d]To be the people of the God of Abraham;
For the shields of the earth belong unto God:
He is greatly exalted.
