1 Clap your hands, all you nations! Shout to God with a loud cry of joy!
2 For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth.
3 He subdued nations under us, and nations under our feet.
4 He chose our inheritance for us, even the pride of Jacob whom he loved. Interlude
5 God has ascended on high with a shout, the LORD has ascended with the blast of a trumpet.
6 Sing songs to God! Sing songs! Sing songs to our King! Sing songs!
7 Indeed, God is king over all the earth; sing a song of praise.
8 God is king over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.
9 The nobles among the nations have joined the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted. A song: Lyrics by the Sons of Korah.
