Ps 47-49 (King James)

¹ O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
² For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
³ He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
⁴ He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
⁵ God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
⁶ Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
⁷ For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
⁸ God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
⁹ The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.

Psaumes 48

¹ Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
² Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
³ God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
⁴ For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
⁵ They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
⁶ Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
⁷ Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
⁸ As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
⁹ We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
¹⁰ According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
¹¹ Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
¹² Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
¹³ Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
¹⁴ For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

Psaumes 49

¹ Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
² Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
³ My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
⁴ I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
⁵ Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
⁶ They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
⁷ None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
⁸ (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
⁹ That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
¹⁰ For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
¹¹ Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
¹² Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
¹³ This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
¹⁴ Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
¹⁵ But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
¹⁶ Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
¹⁷ For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
¹⁸ Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
¹⁹ He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
²⁰ Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

Ps 47-49 (Vulgate)

¹ Psalmus cantici. Filiis Core, secunda sabbati.
² [Magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis, in civitate Dei nostri, in monte sancto ejus.
³ Fundatur exsultatione universæ terræ mons Sion ; latera aquilonis, civitas regis magni.
⁴ Deus in domibus ejus cognoscetur cum suscipiet eam.
⁵ Quoniam ecce reges terræ congregati sunt ; convenerunt in unum.
⁶ Ipsi videntes, sic admirati sunt, conturbati sunt, commoti sunt.
⁷ Tremor apprehendit eos ; ibi dolores ut parturientis :
⁸ in spiritu vehementi conteres naves Tharsis.
⁹ Sicut audivimus, sic vidimus, in civitate Domini virtutum, in civitate Dei nostri : Deus fundavit eam in æternum.
¹⁰ Suscepimus, Deus, misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui.
¹¹ Secundum nomen tuum, Deus, sic et laus tua in fines terræ ; justitia plena est dextera tua.
¹² Lætetur mons Sion, et exsultent filiæ Judæ, propter judicia tua, Domine.
¹³ Circumdate Sion, et complectimini eam ; narrate in turribus ejus.
¹⁴ Ponite corda vestra in virtute ejus, et distribuite domos ejus, ut enarretis in progenie altera.
¹⁵ Quoniam hic est Deus, Deus noster in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi : ipse reget nos in sæcula.]

Psaumes 48

¹ In finem, filiis Core. Psalmus.
² [Audite hæc, omnes gentes ; auribus percipite, omnes qui habitatis orbem :
³ quique terrigenæ et filii hominum, simul in unum dives et pauper.
⁴ Os meum loquetur sapientiam, et meditatio cordis mei prudentiam.
⁵ Inclinabo in parabolam aurem meam ; aperiam in psalterio propositionem meam.
⁶ Cur timebo in die mala ? iniquitas calcanei mei circumdabit me.
⁷ Qui confidunt in virtute sua, et in multitudine divitiarum suarum, gloriantur.
⁸ Frater non redimit, redimet homo : non dabit Deo placationem suam,
⁹ et pretium redemptionis animæ suæ. Et laborabit in æternum ;
¹⁰ et vivet adhuc in finem.
¹¹ Non videbit interitum, cum viderit sapientes morientes : simul insipiens et stultus peribunt. Et relinquent alienis divitias suas,
¹² et sepulchra eorum domus illorum in æternum ; tabernacula eorum in progenie et progenie : vocaverunt nomina sua in terris suis.
¹³ Et homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit. Comparatus est jumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis.
¹⁴ Hæc via illorum scandalum ipsis ; et postea in ore suo complacebunt.
¹⁵ Sicut oves in inferno positi sunt : mors depascet eos. Et dominabuntur eorum justi in matutino ; et auxilium eorum veterascet in inferno a gloria eorum.
¹⁶ Verumtamen Deus redimet animam meam de manu inferi, cum acceperit me.
¹⁷ Ne timueris cum dives factus fuerit homo, et cum multiplicata fuerit gloria domus ejus :
¹⁸ quoniam, cum interierit, non sumet omnia, neque descendet cum eo gloria ejus.
¹⁹ Quia anima ejus in vita ipsius benedicetur ; confitebitur tibi cum benefeceris ei.
²⁰ Introibit usque in progenies patrum suorum ; et usque in æternum non videbit lumen.
²¹ Homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit. Comparatus est jumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis.]

Psaumes 49

¹ Psalmus Asaph. [Deus deorum Dominus locutus est, et vocavit terram a solis ortu usque ad occasum.
² Ex Sion species decoris ejus :
³ Deus manifeste veniet ; Deus noster, et non silebit. Ignis in conspectu ejus exardescet ; et in circuitu ejus tempestas valida.
⁴ Advocabit cælum desursum, et terram, discernere populum suum.
⁵ Congregate illi sanctos ejus, qui ordinant testamentum ejus super sacrificia.
⁶ Et annuntiabunt cæli justitiam ejus, quoniam Deus judex est.
⁷ Audi, populus meus, et loquar ; Israël, et testificabor tibi : Deus, Deus tuus ego sum.
⁸ Non in sacrificiis tuis arguam te ; holocausta autem tua in conspectu meo sunt semper.
⁹ Non accipiam de domo tua vitulos, neque de gregibus tuis hircos :
¹⁰ quoniam meæ sunt omnes feræ silvarum, jumenta in montibus, et boves.
¹¹ Cognovi omnia volatilia cæli, et pulchritudo agri mecum est.
¹² Si esuriero, non dicam tibi : meus est enim orbis terræ et plenitudo ejus.
¹³ Numquid manducabo carnes taurorum ? aut sanguinem hircorum potabo ?
¹⁴ Immola Deo sacrificium laudis, et redde Altissimo vota tua.
¹⁵ Et invoca me in die tribulationis : eruam te, et honorificabis me.
¹⁶ Peccatori autem dixit Deus : Quare tu enarras justitias meas ? et assumis testamentum meum per os tuum ?
¹⁷ Tu vero odisti disciplinam, et projecisti sermones meos retrorsum.
¹⁸ Si videbas furem, currebas cum eo ; et cum adulteris portionem tuam ponebas.
¹⁹ Os tuum abundavit malitia, et lingua tua concinnabat dolos.
²⁰ Sedens adversus fratrem tuum loquebaris, et adversus filium matris tuæ ponebas scandalum.
²¹ Hæc fecisti, et tacui. Existimasti inique quod ero tui similis : arguam te, et statuam contra faciem tuam.
²² Intelligite hæc, qui obliviscimini Deum, nequando rapiat, et non sit qui eripiat.
²³ Sacrificium laudis honorificabit me, et illic iter quo ostendam illi salutare Dei.]
