1 To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. All ye peoples, clap your hands, Shout unto God, with the voice of triumph;

Unto the end. A Psalm for the sons of Korah. All nations, clap your hands. Shout joyfully to God with a voice of exultation.

2 For, Yahweh—as Most High, is to be revered, A great king, over all the earth,

For the Lord is exalted and terrible: a great King over all the earth.

3 He will subjugate, Peoples under us, and, Tribes of men beneath our feet.

5 God hath ascended with a shout, Yahweh, with the sound of a horn.

God ascends with jubilation, and the Lord with the voice of the trumpet.

6 Sing praises unto God, sing praises, Sing praises to our King, sing praises;

Sing psalms to our God, sing psalms. Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms.

7 For God is king of all the earth, Sing praises with understanding.

For God is the King of all the earth. Sing psalms wisely.

8 God, hath become king, over the nations, God, hath taken his seat upon his holy throne.
