Open in the reader →

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. A psalm.

1Clap your hands, all peoples; shout to God with a cry of joy.

2For Yahweh Most High is to be feared, a great King over all the earth.

3He subdues peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

4He chooses for us our inheritance, the pride of Jacob, whom he loves. Selah.

5God has gone up with a shout; Yahweh, with the sound of a trumpet.

6Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

7For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with understanding.

8God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.

9The nobles of the peoples have gathered as the people of the God of Abraham, for the shields of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.
