1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout unto God with a voice of triumph.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!
For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King over all the earth.
3 He subdues nations beneath us, and peoples under our feet.
He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loves.
He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)
5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD with the sound of the horn.
God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!
Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7 For God is King of all the earth; sing profound praises to Him.
For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.
God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
9 The nobles of the nations have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.
The 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.
