1Clap your hands, all you peoples;

shout to God with loud songs of joy.*

2For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome,

a great king over all the earth.*

3He subdued peoples under us

and nations under our feet.*

4He chose our heritage for us,

the pride of Jacob whom he loves.   Selah*

5God has gone up with a shout,

the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.*

6Sing praises to God, sing praises;

sing praises to our King, sing praises.*

7For God is the king of all the earth;

sing praises with a psalm.n^,*

8God is king over the nations;

God sits on his holy throne.*

9The princes of the peoples gather

as the people of the God of Abraham.

For the shields of the earth belong to God;

he is highly exalted.*
