47 Psalmus cantici. Filiis Core, secunda sabbati.

Magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis, in civitate Dei nostri, in monte sancto ejus.

Fundatur exsultatione universae terrae mons Sion; latera aquilonis, civitas regis magni.

Deus in domibus ejus cognoscetur cum suscipiet eam.

Quoniam ecce reges terrae congregati sunt; convenerunt in unum.

Ipsi videntes, sic admirati sunt, conturbati sunt, commoti sunt.

Tremor apprehendit eos; ibi dolores ut parturientis:

in spiritu vehementi conteres naves Tharsis.

Sicut audivimus, sic vidimus, in civitate Domini virtutum, in civitate Dei nostri: Deus fundavit eam in aeternum.

10 Suscepimus, Deus, misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui.

11 Secundum nomen tuum, Deus, sic et laus tua in fines terrae; justitia plena est dextera tua.

12 Laetetur mons Sion, et exsultent filiae Judae, propter judicia tua, Domine.

13 Circumdate Sion, et complectimini eam; narrate in turribus ejus.

14 Ponite corda vestra in virtute ejus, et distribuite domos ejus, ut enarretis in progenie altera.

15 Quoniam hic est Deus, Deus noster in aeternum, et in saeculum saeculi: ipse reget nos in saecula.

Psalm 47[a]

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

Clap your hands,(A) all you nations;
    shout to God with cries of joy.(B)

For the Lord Most High(C) is awesome,(D)
    the great King(E) over all the earth.
He subdued(F) nations under us,
    peoples under our feet.
He chose our inheritance(G) for us,
    the pride of Jacob,(H) whom he loved.[b]

God has ascended(I) amid shouts of joy,(J)
    the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.(K)
Sing praises(L) to God, sing praises;
    sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth;(M)
    sing to him a psalm(N) of praise.

God reigns(O) over the nations;
    God is seated on his holy throne.(P)
The nobles of the nations assemble
    as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings[c] of the earth belong to God;(Q)
    he is greatly exalted.(R)
