God the King of the Earth.
For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 O Aclap your hands, all peoples;
BShout to God with the voice of 1joy.
2 For the Lord Most High is to be Afeared,
A Bgreat King over all the earth.
3 He Asubdues peoples under us
And nations under our feet.
4 He chooses our Ainheritance for us,
The Bglory of Jacob whom He loves. 1
Selah.
 
5  God has Aascended 1with a shout,
The Lord, 1with the Bsound of a trumpet.
6  ASing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to Bour King, sing praises.
7 For God is the AKing of all the earth;
Sing praises Bwith a 1skillful psalm.
8  God Areigns over the nations,
God 1sits on BHis holy throne.
9 The 1Aprinces of the people have assembled themselves as the Bpeople of the God of Abraham,
For the Cshields of the earth belong to God;
He 2is Dhighly exalted.
