1 All you peoples, clap your hands.b

Shout to God with a voice of rejoicing.

2 For Yahweh Most High is awesome,c

a great king over all the earth.

3 He subdues peoples under us

and nations under our feet.

4 He chooses for us our inheritance,

the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah

5 God has gone up with a shout,

Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises.

Sing praises to our king, sing praises.

7 For God is king of all the earth.

Sing praises with understanding.d

8 God reigns over nations;

God sits on his holy throne.

9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together

with the people of Abraham’s God.

For the shields of the earth belong to God.

He is very exalted.
