**1 **\{To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.} O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

**2 **For the LORD most high *is* terrible; *he is* a great King over all the earth.

**3 **He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

**4 **He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

**5 **God is gone up with a shout, the LORD 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 understanding.

**8 **God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

**9 **The princes of the people are gathered together, *even* the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth *belong* unto God: he is greatly exalted.
