God Is King of All the Earth

¹O clap your hands, all peoples;

Make a loud shout to God with the sound of a shout of joy.

²For Yahweh Most High is fearsome,[#47:2 Or awesome]

A great King over all the earth.

³He subdues peoples under us

And nations under our feet.

⁴He chooses our inheritance for us,

The pride of Jacob whom He loves. Selah.

⁵¶God has ascended with a loud shout,[#47:5 Or amid]

Yahweh, 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 nobles of the peoples have assembled themselves with the people of the God of Abraham,

For the shields of the earth belong to God;

He is highly exalted.
