Clap your hands, all you peoples;

shout to God with loud songs of joy.

For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome,

a great king over all the earth.

He subdued peoples under us,

and nations under our feet.

4 

He chose our heritage for us,

the pride of Jacob whom he loves.

5 

God has 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.

7 

For God is the king of all the earth;

sing praises with a psalm.

8 

God is king over the nations;

God sits on his holy throne.

9 

The 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.
