耶和華為全地之君
47 可拉後裔的詩，交於伶長。
1 萬民哪，你們都要拍掌，要用誇勝的聲音向神呼喊！
2 因為耶和華至高者是可畏的，他是治理全地的大君王。
3 他叫萬民服在我們以下，又叫列邦服在我們腳下。
4 他為我們選擇產業，就是他所愛之雅各的榮耀。（細拉）
5 神上升，有喊聲相送；耶和華上升，有角聲相送。
6 你們要向神歌頌，歌頌！向我們王歌頌，歌頌！
7 因為神是全地的王，你們要用悟性歌頌！
8 神做王治理萬國，神坐在他的聖寶座上。
9 列邦的君王聚集，要做亞伯拉罕之神的民，因為世界的盾牌是屬神的，他為至高。

Psalm 47
1599 Geneva Bible
47 1 The Prophet exhorteth all people to the worship of the true and everlasting God, commending the mercy of God toward the posterity of Jacob. 9 And after prophesieth of the kingdom of Christ in the time of the Gospel.
To him that excelleth. A Psalm committed to the sons of Korah.
1 All people [a]clap your hands; sing loud unto God with a joyful voice.
2 For the Lord is high, and terrible; a great King over all the earth.
3 He hath [b]subdued the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
4 He hath chosen [c]our inheritance for us: even the glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5 God is gone up with triumph, even the Lord with the [d]sound of the trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the king of all the earth: sing praises everyone that hath [e]understanding.
8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon his holy Throne.
9 The princes of the people are gathered unto the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the world belong to God: he [f]is greatly to be exalted.
