Praise to God, the Ruler of the Earth

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

2 For the Lord Most High is awesome;
He is a great ^aKing over all the earth.

3 ^aHe will subdue the peoples under us,
And the nations under our feet.

4 He will choose our ^ainheritance for us,
The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah

5 ^aGod 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 ^aFor God is the King of all the earth;
^bSing praises with understanding.

8 ^aGod reigns over the nations;
God ^bsits on His ^choly throne.

9 The princes of the people have gathered together,
^aThe people of the God of Abraham.
^bFor the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is greatly exalted.
