2Clap your hands, all ye nations; shout to God with a voice of exultation.
3For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great king over all the earth.
4He has subdued the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.
5He has chosen out his inheritance for us, the beauty of Jacob which he loved. Pause.
6God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with a sound of a trumpet.
7Sing praises to our God, sing praises: sing praises to our King, sing praises.
8For God is king of all the earth: sing praises with understanding.
9God reigns over the nations: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.
