 * O clap your hands, all ye nations: * shout unto God with the voice of joy,
 * For the Lord is high, terrible: * a great king over all the earth.
 * He hath subdued the people under us; * and the nations under our feet.
 * He hath chosen for us his inheritance, * the beauty of Jacob which he hath loved.
 * God is ascended with jubilee, * and the Lord with the sound of trumpet.
 * Sing praises to our God, sing ye: * sing praises to our king, sing ye.
 * For God is the king of all the earth: * sing ye wisely.
 * God shall reign over the nations: * God sitteth on his holy throne.
 * The princes of the people are gathered together, with the God of Abraham: * for the strong gods of the earth are exceedingly exalted.
