诗篇 47

1 可拉后裔的诗，交与伶长。 万民哪，你们都要拍掌！ 要用夸胜的声音向 神呼喊！

You people all [over the world], clap your hands for joy! Shout joyfully to [praise] God!

2 因为耶和华至高者是可畏的； 他是治理全地的大君王。

Yahweh, who is much greater than any other god, is awesome; he is the king who rules over all the world!

3 他叫万民服在我们以下， 又叫列邦服在我们脚下。

He enabled us to defeat [the armies of] the people-groups [that lived in Canaan].

4 他为我们选择产业， 就是他所爱之雅各的荣耀。 (细拉)

He chose for us this land where we now live; we Israeli people [MTY], whom he loves, are proud that we own this land.

5 神上升，有喊声相送； 耶和华上升，有角声相送。

God has gone up [into his temple]. The people shouted joyfully and blew trumpets as Yahweh went up.

6 你们要向 神歌颂，歌颂！ 向我们王歌颂，歌颂！

Sing songs to praise our God! Sing to praise him [DOU]! Sing to God, our king!

7 因为 神是全地的王； 你们要用悟性歌颂。

God is the one who rules over everything in the world; sing a psalm to him!

8 神作王治理万国； 神坐在他的圣宝座上。

God sits on his sacred throne as he rules over the people of [all] ethnic groups.

9 列邦的君王聚集要作亚伯拉罕之 神的民。 因为世界的盾牌是属 神的； 他为至高！

The rulers of those people-groups gather as God’s people, the people [descended] from Abraham, [do]. But God has more power than the weapons/shields [of all the kings] on the earth; (he is greatly honored/people honor him) everywhere.
