1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all you people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. 2For the LORD most high is awesome; he is a great King over all the earth. 3He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. 4He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. 5God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. 7For God is the King of all the earth: sing you praises with understanding. 8God reigns over the nations: God sits upon the throne of his holiness. 9The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.
