Psalm 47

Gud är konung

För sångmästaren, en psalm av Koras söner.

Klappa i händerna, alla folk,
    höj jubel till Gud med fröjderop!
Ty Herren, den Högste, är fruktansvärd,
en stor konung över hela jorden.
Han lägger folk under oss,
    folkslag under våra fötter.
Han utväljer åt oss vår arvedel,
    Jakobs, hans älskades, stolthet. Sela.

Gud har farit upp under jubel,
    Herren, under basuners ljud.
Lovsjung Gud, lovsjung!
    Lovsjung vår konung, lovsjung!
Ty Gud är konung över hela jorden,
lovsjung honom med en psalm.
Gud är konung över hednafolken,
    Gud sitter på sin heliga tron.
10 Folkens främsta samlas
    som Abrahams Guds folk.
Ty jordens sköldar tillhör Gud,
    högt är han upphöjd.

47 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

God is gone up with a shout, the Lord 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 with understanding.

God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.

47 (0) For the leader. A psalm of the descendants of Korach:

(1) Clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with cries of joy!
(2) For Adonai ‘Elyon is awesome,
a great king over all the earth.
(3) He makes peoples subject to us,
puts nations under our feet.
(4) He chooses our heritage for us,
the pride of Ya‘akov, whom he loves. (Selah)
(5) God goes up to shouts of acclaim,
Adonai to a blast on the shofar.
(6) Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our king, sing praises!
(7) For God is king of all the earth;
sing praises in a maskil.
(8) God rules the nations;
God sits on his holy throne.
10 (9) The leaders of the people gather together,
the people of the God of Avraham;
for the rulers of the earth belong to God,
who is exalted on high.
