47 Al Músico principal: de los hijos de Coré: Salmo. PUEBLOS todos, batid las manos; Aclamad á Dios con voz de júbilo.

Porque Jehová el Altísimo es terrible; Rey grande sobre toda la tierra.

El sujetará á los pueblos debajo de nosotros, Y á las gentes debajo de nuestros pies.

El nos elegirá nuestras heredades; La hermosura de Jacob, al cual amó. (Selah.)

Subió Dios con júbilo, Jehová con sonido de trompeta.

Cantad á Dios, cantad: Cantad á nuestro Rey, cantad.

Porque Dios es el Rey de toda la tierra: Cantad con inteligencia.

Reinó Dios sobre las gentes: Asentóse Dios sobre su santo trono.

Los príncipes de los pueblos se juntaron Al pueblo del Dios de Abraham: Porque de Dios son los escudos de la tierra; El es muy ensalzado.

(9) Elohim reigneth over the Goyim; Elohim sitteth upon the Kisse Kadsho.

He hath chosen [c]our inheritance for us: even the glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
