1 Clap
your hands, all you peoples; shout to God
with loud songs of joy. 2 For
the Lord, the Most High, is awesome, a great
king over all the earth. 3 He
subdued peoples under us, and nations under
our feet. 4 He chose our
heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he
loves. (Selah)
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. F90 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.

1 Applause,
everyone. Bravo, bravissimo! Shout God-songs
at the top of your lungs! 2 God
Most High is stunning, astride land and
ocean. 3 He crushes
hostile people, puts nations at our feet. 4 He
set us at the head of the line, prize-winning
Jacob, his favorite.
5 Loud
cheers as God climbs the mountain, a ram's
horn blast at the summit. 6 Sing
songs to God, sing out! Sing to our King,
sing praise! 7 He's Lord
over earth, so sing your best songs to God. 8 God
is Lord of godless nations - sovereign, he's
King of the mountain. 9 Princes
from all over are gathered, people of
Abraham's God. The powers of earth are God's
- he soars over all.
