Psalm 47

God’s Rule over the Nations

To the leader. Of the Korahites. A Psalm.

Clap your hands, all you peoples;
    shout to God with loud songs of joy.
For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome,
    a great king over all the earth.
He subdued peoples under us,
    and nations under our feet.
He chose our heritage for us,
    the pride of Jacob whom he loves.Selah

God has gone up with a shout,
    the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
    sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is the king of all the earth;
    sing praises with a psalm.[a]

God is king over the nations;
    God sits on his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples gather
    as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
    he is highly exalted.

Bog vlada nad narodima

Voditelju zbora. Pjesma hvale Korahovih potomaka.

47 Plješćite rukama, svi narodi,
    vičite Bogu glasom radosnim.
BOG je strašan, on je Svevišnji,
    nad svom zemljom Kralj veliki.
Narode nam je podložio,
    plemena pod naše noge stavio.
Nasljedstvo nam je izabrao,
    na ponos Jakovu, kojeg je volio.

Uz klicanje, na prijestolje Bog se uspinje,
    BOG ide u pratnji zvučne trube.
Pjevajte pjesme Bogu, pjevajte!
    Pjevajte pjesme našem Kralju, pjevajte!
Jer, Bog je Kralj čitavog svijeta,
    zato mu hvalospjev pjevajte!

Bog vlada nad narodima,
    na svetom prijestolju sjedi.
Okupljaju se vladari naroda
    s narodom Boga Abrahamova
jer Božji su svi moćnici[a] svijeta,
    uzvišen je visoko nad svima.
