1 All you nations, clap your hands.
Shout out to God in celebration.
2 For the Lord Most High is awe-inspiring;
he is the great king who rules the whole earth!
3 He subdued nations beneath us
and countries under our feet.
4 He picked out for us a special land
to be a source of pride for Jacob, whom he loves. (Selah)
5 God has ascended his throne amid loud shouts;
the Lord has ascended amid the blaring of ram’s horns.
6 Sing to God! Sing!
Sing to our king! Sing!
7 For God is king of the whole earth.
Sing a well-written song.
8 God reigns over the nations.
God sits on his holy throne.
9 The nobles of the nations assemble,
along with the people of the God of Abraham,
for God has authority over the rulers of the earth.
He is highly exalted.
