For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
1Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.2For the Lord Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth.3He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet.4He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.[1]5God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.6Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.7For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.8God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.9The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings[2] of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.
For the director of music. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1Clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with cries of joy.2Do this because the LORD Most High is wonderful. He is the great King over the whole earth.3He brought nations under our control. He made them fall under us.4He chose our land for us. The people of Jacob are proud of their land, and God loves them.5God went up to his throne while his people were shouting with joy. The LORD went up while trumpets were playing.6Sing praises to God. Sing praises. Sing praises to our King. Sing praises.7God is the King of the whole earth. Sing a psalm of praise to him.8God rules over the nations. He is seated on his holy throne.9The nobles of the nations come together. They are now part of the people of the God of Abraham. The kings of the earth belong to God. He is greatly honoured.
