1To the chief musician, a psalm for the sons of Korach. All ye people, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. 2For the Lord is most high, fear–inspiring; he is a great king over all the earth. 3He will subdue people under us, and nations under our feet. 4He will choose for us our inheritance, the excellency of Jacob which he loveth. Selah. 5God ascendeth amid a triumphal shout, the Lord, amid the sound of the cornet. 6Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. 7For God is King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. 8God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne. 9The nobles of the people are gathered together, to be with the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God belong the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.
