God the King of the Earth

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.


[1]	OH clap your hands, all ye peoples; Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
[2]	For Jehovah 1 Most High is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth.
[3]	He subdueth peoples under us, And nations under our feet.
[4]	He chooseth our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom he loved. 2 [Selah
[5]	God is gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
[6]	Sing praises to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
[7]	For God is the King of all the earth: Sing ye praises with 3 understanding.
[8]	God reigneth over the nations: God sitteth upon his holy throne.
[9]	The princes of the peoples are gathered together To 4 be the people of the God of Abraham; For the shields of the earth belong unto God: He is greatly exalted.
