1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
科辣黑後裔的詩歌,交與樂官。 萬民,你們要鼓掌歡騰,要向天主歡呼祝慶!
2 For the LORD Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.
上主至大至尊,可敬可畏,祂是統宇宙的偉大君主。
3 He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.

祂為我們選定了我們的基業,即祂所鍾愛的雅各伯的光彩。
5 God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
天主上升,有歡呼聲護送,上主騰空,有號角聲相從。

你們應歌頌,歌頌我們的天主,你們應歌頌,歌頌我們的君王。
