1
Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.
2
For the Lord Most High is awesome,
the great King over all the earth.
3
He subdued nations under us,
peoples under our feet.
4
He chose our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. 1
5
God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.
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 to him a psalm of praise.
8
God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.
9
The nobles of the nations assemble
as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings 2 of the earth belong to God;
he is greatly exalted.
