God Is King over All the Earth

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

¹ Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy!

² For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth.

³ He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

⁴ He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah

⁵ God 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 For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!

⁸ God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.

⁹ The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted!
