Souveraineté de Dieu
47 Au chef des chantres. Des fils de Koré. Psaume.
2 Vous tous, peuples, battez des mains!
Poussez vers Dieu des cris de joie!
3 Car l’Eternel, le Très-Haut, est redoutable,
Il est un grand roi sur toute la terre.
4 Il nous assujettit des peuples,
Il met des nations sous nos pieds;
5 Il nous choisit notre héritage,
La gloire de Jacob qu’il aime. – Pause.
6 Dieu monte au milieu des cris de triomphe,
L’Eternel s’avance au son de la trompette.
7 Chantez à Dieu, chantez!
Chantez à notre roi, chantez!
8 Car Dieu est roi de toute la terre:
Chantez un cantique!
9 Dieu règne sur les nations,
Dieu a pour siège son saint trône.
10 Les princes des peuples se réunissent
Au peuple du Dieu d’Abraham;
Car à Dieu sont les boucliers de la terre:
Il est souverainement élevé.
