1Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
1A psalm of a canticle, for the sons of Core, on the second day of the week.
2For the LORD Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.
2Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
3He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.
3With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
4He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
4In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.
5God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
5For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.
6Sing praises to God! Sing praises! Sing praises to our King! Sing praises!
6So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:
7For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.
7Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.
8God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.
8With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
9The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted!
9As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever.
