Psalms 47

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath.	1 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2 The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.	2 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is 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.	3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
4 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.	4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.	5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.	6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.	7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
8 With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.	8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
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 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly 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.
