1For the leader. A psalm of the Korahites.
2All you peoples, clap your hands;
shout to God with joyful cries.
3For the Lord , the Most High, is to be feared,
the great king over all the earth,
4Who made people subject to us,
nations under our feet,
5Who chose our heritage for us,[#: the land of Israel (cf. Is 58:14), which God has given Israel in an act of sovereignty.]
the glory of Jacob, whom he loves.
6God has gone up with a shout;[#: Christian liturgical tradition has applied the verse to the Ascension of Christ.]
the Lord , amid trumpet blasts.
7Sing praise to God, sing praise;
sing praise to our king, sing praise.
8For God is king over all the earth;[#Ps 72:11; 93:1; 96:10; 97:1; 99:1; Jer 10:7.]
sing hymns of praise.
9God rules over the nations;
God sits upon his holy throne.
10The princes of the peoples assemble
with the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God,
highly exalted.
