1Everyone, clap your hands! Shout with joy to the Lord!

2For the Lord Most High is awe-inspiring; he is the great King of all the earth.

3He subdues other peoples under us; he puts nations under our feet.

4He chose the land for us to own; the proud possession of Jacob's descendants whom he loves. Selah.

5God ascends his throne ¹⁴³with a great shout, the Lord is accompanied by the sound of the trumpet.

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

7For God is King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!

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

9The rulers of the nations gather together with the people of the God of Abraham, for the defenders ¹⁴⁴of the earth belong to God. He is highly honored everywhere.
