To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye people; shout to God with the voice of triumph.

2 Thi HERREN, den Højeste, er frygtelig, en Konge stor over hele Jorden.

For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King over all the earth.

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

4 han udvalgte os vor Arvelod, Jakob hans elskedes Stolthed. (Sela)

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellence of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

5 Gud steg op under Jubel, HERREN under Homets Klang.

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

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

7 thi han er al Jordens Konge, syng en Sang for Gud.

8 Gud har vist, han er Folkenes Konge, på sin hellige Trone har Gud taget Sæde.

9 Folkenes Stormænd samles med Folket, der tilhører Abrahams Gud; thi Guds er Jordens Skjolde, højt ophøjet er han!

The princes of the people are assembled, [even] the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth [belong] to God: he is greatly exalted.
