1 Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout unto God with a voice of triumph.
2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!
3 He subdues nations beneath us, and peoples under our feet.
4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loves. Selah
5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD with the sound of the horn.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!
7 For God is King of all the earth; sing profound praises to Him.
8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.
9 The nobles of the nations have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.
