1 To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

2 For Jehovah, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth.

For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.

3 He subdueth the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

4 He hath chosen our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)

5 God is gone up amid shouting, Jehovah amid the sound of the trumpet.

God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Sing psalms of God, sing psalms; sing psalms unto our King, sing psalms!

Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.

7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing psalms with understanding.

For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.

8 God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,

9 The willing-hearted of the peoples have gathered together, [with] the people of the God of Abraham. For unto God [belong] the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.

Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
