4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loves.

he chooses our heritage for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loves. (Selah)

Sing praise to our God, sing praises: sing praise to our king, sing praises.

7 For God is King of all the earth; sing profound praises to Him.

For king of all earth is he: praise God in a skilful song.

8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.

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.
