Psalms 47

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LA SACRA BIBBIA
1 A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath.	1 Al maestro di coro. Dei figli di Core. Salmo.
2 The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.	2 Popoli tutti, battete le mani, tripudiate a Dio con grida festose.
3 Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.	3 Poiché tremendo è il Signore delle schiere, l'Altissimo, gran re su tutta la terra.
4 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.	4 Sotto di noi egli pone i popoli, sotto i nostri piedi le nazioni.
5 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.	5 Sceglie per noi la nostra eredità, il vanto di Giacobbe, che egli ama.
6 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.	6 E' asceso Dio nel tripudio, il Signore al suono della tromba.
7 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.	7 Inneggiate a Dio, inneggiate; inneggiate al Signore, inneggiate;
8 With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.	8 poiché egli è il re di tutta la terra: inneggiate a Dio con un bel canto.
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 Dio ha preso a regnare sulle genti, Dio s'è assiso sul santo suo trono.
10 We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.	10 I prìncipi delle genti si son radunati insieme al popolo del Dio d'Abramo. Poiché a Dio appartengono quanti governano la terra, a lui che oltremodo s'è esaltato.
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.
