1  ^pClap your hands, all peoples!

^qShout to God with loud songs of joy!

2  For the Lord, the Most High, is ^rto be feared,

a great king over all the earth.

3  ^sHe 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 ^tKing of all the earth;

sing praises with a psalm!¹

8  God ^ureigns 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!
