God Our King

1. Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with a jubilant cry.

2. For Yahweh, the Most High, is awe-inspiring,a great King over all the earth.

3. He subdues peoples under usand nations under our feet.

4. He chooses for us our inheritance —the pride of Jacob, whom He loves. Selah

5. God ascends among shouts of joy,the Lord, among the sound of trumpets.

6. Sing praise to God, sing praise;sing praise to our King, sing praise!

7. Sing a song of wisdom, for God is King of all the earth.

8. God reigns over the nations;God is seated on His holy throne.

9. The nobles of the peoples have assembledwith the people of the God of Abraham. For the leaders of the earth belong to God;He is greatly exalted.
