Psalms 47

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath.	1 For the leader. A psalm of the Korahites.
2 The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.	2 All you peoples, clap your hands; shout to God with joyful cries.
3 Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.	3 For the LORD, the Most High, inspires awe, the great king overall the earth,
4 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.	4 Who made people subject to us, brought nations under our feet,
5 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.	5 Who chose a land for our heritage, the glory of Jacob, the beloved. Selah
6 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.	6 God mounts the throne amid shouts of joy; the LORD, amid trumpet blasts.
7 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.	7 Sing praise to God, sing praise; sing praise to our king, sing praise.
8 With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.	8 God is king over all the earth; sing hymns of praise.
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 God rules over the nations; God sits upon his holy throne.
10 We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.	10 The princes of the peoples assemble with the people of the God of Abraham. For the rulers of the earth belong to God, who is enthroned on high.
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.
