Psalms 47

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 For the leader. A psalm of the Korahites.	1 A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath.
2 All you peoples, clap your hands; shout to God with joyful cries.	2 The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
3 For the LORD, the Most High, inspires awe, the great king overall the earth,	3 Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.
4 Who made people subject to us, brought nations under our feet,	4 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.
5 Who chose a land for our heritage, the glory of Jacob, the beloved. Selah	5 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.
6 God mounts the throne amid shouts of joy; the LORD, amid trumpet blasts.	6 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.
7 Sing praise to God, sing praise; sing praise to our king, sing praise.	7 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.
8 God is king over all the earth; sing hymns of praise.	8 With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.
9 God rules over the nations; God sits upon his holy throne.	9 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God. God has founded it in eternity.
10 The princes of the peoples assemble with the people of the God of Abraham. For the rulers of the earth belong to God, who is enthroned on high.	10 We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.
	11 According to your name, O God, so does your praise reach to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of justice.
	12 Let mount Zion rejoice, and let the daughters of Judah exult, because of your judgments, O Lord.
	13 Encircle Zion and embrace her. Discourse in her towers.
	14 Set your hearts on her virtue. And distribute her houses, so that you may discourse of it in another generation.
	15 For this is God, our God, in eternity and forever and ever. He will rule us forever.
