Psalms 47

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core.	1 A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath.
2 O clap your hands, all ye nations: shout unto God with the voice of Joy,	2 The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
3 For the Lord is high, terrible: a great king over all 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 He hath subdued the people under us; and the nations under our feet.	4 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.
5 He hath chosen for us his inheritance the beauty of Jacob which he hath loved.	5 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.
6 God is ascended with jubilee, and the Lord with the sound of trumpet.	6 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.
7 Sing praises to our God, sing ye: sing praises to our king, sing ye.	7 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.
8 For God is the king of all the earth: sing ye wisely.	8 With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.
9 God shall reign over the nations: God sitteth on 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 people are gathered together, with the God of Abraham: for the strong gods of the earth are exceedingly exalted.	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.
