For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

     1O Clap your hands, all peoples;
            Shout to God with the voice of joy.

     2For the LORD Most High is to be feared,
            A great King over all the earth.

     3He subdues peoples under us,
            And nations under our feet.

     4He chooses our inheritance for us,
            The glory of Jacob whom He loves. Selah.

     5God has ascended with a shout,
            The LORD, with the sound of a trumpet.

     6Sing praises to God, sing praises;
            Sing praises to our King, sing praises.

     7For God is the King of all the earth;
            Sing praises with a skillful psalm.

     8God reigns over the nations,
            God sits on His holy throne.

     9The princes of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the God of Abraham;
            For the shields of the earth belong to God;
            He is highly exalted.
