To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

1 O clap your hands, all ye people; Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

2 For the LORD most high is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth.

3 He shall subdue the people under us, And the nations under our feet.

4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, The excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

5 God is gone up with a shout, The LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

7 For God is the King of all the earth: Sing ye praises with understanding.

8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

9 The 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.
