₁Clap your hands for joy, all peoples!

Praise God with loud songs!

₂The LORD, the Most High, is to be feared;

he is a great king, ruling over all the world.

₃He gave us victory over the peoples;

he made us rule over the nations.

₄He chose for us the land where we live,

the proud possession of his people, whom he loves.

₅God goes up to his throne.

There are shouts of joy and the blast of trumpets,

as the LORD goes up.

₆Sing praise to God;

sing praise to our king!

₇God is king over all the world;

praise him with songs!

₈God sits on his sacred throne;

he rules over the nations.

₉The rulers of the nations assemble

with the people of the God of Abraham.

More powerful than all armies is he;

he rules supreme.

₁The LORD is king.

He is clothed with majesty and strength.

The earth is set firmly in place

and cannot be moved.

₂Your throne, O LORD, has been firm from the beginning,

and you existed before time began.

₃The ocean depths raise their voice, O LORD;

they raise their voice and roar.

₄The LORD rules supreme in heaven,

greater than the roar of the ocean,

more powerful than the waves of the sea.

₅Your laws are eternal, LORD,

and your Temple is holy indeed,

for ever and ever.
