JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1A psalm of a canticle, for the sons of Core, on the second day of the week.
1(47-1) For the Leader; a Psalm for the sons of Korah. (47-2) O clap your hands, all ye peoples; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2(47-3) For the LORD is most high, awful; a great King over all the earth.
3With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
3(47-4) He subdueth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
4In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.
4(47-5) He chooseth our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob whom He loveth. Selah
5For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.
5(47-6) God is gone up amidst shouting, the LORD amidst the sound of the horn.
6So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:
6(47-7) Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.
7(47-8) For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises in a skilful song.
8With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
8(47-9) God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon His holy throne.
9As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever.
9(47-10) The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God belong the shields of the earth; He is greatly exalted.
10We have received thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
