Challoner’s heading

Omnes gentes, plaudite.

Psalm 46 in the Vulgate numbering this edition follows; Psalm 47 in the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles.

1Unto the end, for the sons of Core. 2O clap your hands, all ye nations: shout unto God with the voice of joy, 3For the Lord is high, terrible: a great king over all the earth. 4He hath subdued the people under us; and the nations under our feet. 5He hath chosen for us his inheritance, the beauty of Jacob which he hath love. 6God is ascended with jubilee, and the Lord with the sound of trumpet. 7Sing praises to our God, sing ye: sing praises to our king, sing ye. 8For God is the king of all the earth: sing ye wisely. 9God shall reign over the nations: God sitteth on his holy throne. 10The princes of the people are gathered together, with the God of Abraham: for the strong gods of the earth are exceedingly exalted.
Psalm 46 of 150

Text: the Douay-Rheims Bible in Bishop Challoner’s revision, public domain, from Project Gutenberg ebook 8300, set unaltered — 150 psalms and 2,528 verses, checked for gaps. Challoner’s own notes are left out, as in the gospels; the summary at the head of each psalm is his and is labelled as his. Psalms are numbered as in the Latin Vulgate, which differs by one from the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles for most of the book; each psalm gives both.
