Psalms 47

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA CEI 2008
1 A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath.	1 Al maestro del 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!Acclamate Dio con grida di gioia,
3 Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.	3 perché terribile è il Signore, l’Altissimo,grande re su tutta la terra.
4 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.	4 Egli ci ha sottomesso i popoli,sotto i nostri piedi ha posto le nazioni.
5 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.	5 Ha scelto per noi la nostra eredità,orgoglio di Giacobbe che egli ama.
6 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.	6 Ascende Dio tra le acclamazioni,il Signore al suono di tromba.
7 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.	7 Cantate inni a Dio, cantate inni,cantate inni al nostro re, cantate inni;
8 With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.	8 perché Dio è re di tutta la terra,cantate inni con arte.
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 regna sulle genti,Dio siede sul suo trono santo.
10 We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.	10 I capi dei popoli si sono raccolticome popolo del Dio di Abramo.Sì, a Dio appartengono i poteri della terra:egli è eccelso.
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.
