Vulgate (Psalm 46)

Latin.png Latin text

1  Omnes gentes, plaudite manibus; jubilate Deo in voce exsultationis:

2  Quoniam Dominus excelsus, terribilis, Rex magnus super omnem terram.

3  Subiecit populos nobis, et gentes sub pedibus nostris.

4  Elegit nobis haereditatem suam: speciem Jacob quem dilexit.

5  Ascendit Deus in jubilo, et Dominus in voce tubae.

6  Psallite Deo nostro, psallite; psallite Regi nostro, psallite:

7  quoniam Rex omnis terrae Deus, psallite sapienter.

8  Regnabit Deus super gentes: Deus sedet super sedem sanctam suam.

9  Principes populorum congregati sunt cum Deo Abraham, quoniam dii fortes terrae vehementer elevati sunt.

Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English.png English text

1  O clap your hands together, all ye people : O sing unto God with the voice of melody.

2  For the Lord is high, and to be feared : he is the great King upon all the earth.

3  He shall subdue the people under us : and the nations under our feet.

4  He shall choose out an heritage for us : even the worship of Jacob, whom he loved.

5  God is gone up with a merry noise : and the Lord with the sound of the trump.

6  O sing praises, sing praises unto our God : O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.

7  For God is the King of all the earth : sing ye praises with understanding.

8  God reigneth over the heathen : God sitteth upon his holy seat.

9  The princes of the people are joined unto the people of the God of Abraham: for God, which is very high exalted, doth defend the earth, as it were with a shield.

Tate and Brady Metrical New Version

English.png English text

1-2  O all ye people, clap your hands,
And with triumphant voices sing;
No force the mighty power withstands
Of God, the universal King.

3-4  He shall opposing nations quell,
And with success our battles fight,
Shall fix the place where we must dwell,
The pride of Jacob, his delight.

5-6  God is gone up, our Lord and King,
With shouts of joy and trumpet's sound;
To him repeated praises sing,
And let the cheerful song go round.

7-8  Your utmost skill in praise be shown,
For him, who all the world commands;
Who sits upon his righteous throne,
And spreads his sway o'er heathen lands.

9  Our chiefs and tribes that far from hence,
To serve the God of Abr'am came,
Found him their constant sure defence:
How great and glorious is his name!
