Using the Language Translator

When you choose a language, the text currently visible on the page will be translated.

If you open a different Bible chapter, comparison view, commentary, or other newly loaded material, you may need to select the language again so the new text will also be translated.

Automatic translation may not match a published Bible translation in that language. For precise study, compare the wording with a trusted Bible translation in your own language.

John 47

1O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

2For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

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

4He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

5God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

6Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

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

8God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

9The 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.

Matthew Henry · Concise on 47

Reading note: Commentary is an author’s interpretation and is not Scripture. The KJV remains this project’s primary Bible text even when another historical translation is selected above.

Text source

Public-domain Bible texts, clearly identified

The reader defaults to the 1769 King James Version. The public-domain Wycliffe edition contains the Pentateuch and four Gospels in Middle English. William Tyndale’s never-completed translation includes his New Testament, Pentateuch, and Jonah; missing books are not silently supplied from another version. The Geneva, Webster, Darby, Young’s Literal, and American Standard versions are complete public-domain editions distributed by CrossWire. Strong’s tools remain attached only to the KJV source text.
