Psalms 47

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EINHEITSUBERSETZUNG BIBEL
1 A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath.	1 [Für den Chormeister. Ein Psalm der Korachiter.]
2 The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.	2 Ihr Völker alle, klatscht in die Hände; jauchzt Gott zu mit lautem Jubel!
3 Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.	3 Denn Furcht gebietend ist der Herr, der Höchste, ein großer König über die ganze Erde.
4 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.	4 Er unterwirft uns Völker und zwingt Nationen unter unsre Füße.
5 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.	5 Er wählt unser Erbland für uns aus, den Stolz Jakobs, den er liebt. [Sela]
6 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.	6 Gott stieg empor unter Jubel, der Herr beim Schall der Hörner.
7 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.	7 Singt unserm Gott, ja singt ihm! Spielt unserm König, spielt ihm!
8 With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.	8 Denn Gott ist König der ganzen Erde. Spielt ihm ein Psalmenlied!
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.	9 Gott wurde König über alle Völker, Gott sitzt auf seinem heiligen Thron.
10 We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.	10 Die Fürsten der Völker sind versammelt als Volk des Gottes Abrahams. Denn Gott gehören die Mächte der Erde; er ist hoch erhaben.
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.
