The Supreme Ruler
1 Clap your hands for joy, all peoples!
Praise God with loud songs!
2 The Lord, the Most High, is to be feared;
he is a great king, ruling over all the world.
3 He gave us victory over the peoples;
he made us rule over the nations.
4 He chose for us the land where we live,
the proud possession of his people, whom he loves.
5 God goes up to his throne.
There are shouts of joy and the blast of trumpets,
as the Lord goes up.
6 Sing praise to God;
sing praise to our king!
7 God is king over all the world;
praise him with songs!
8 God sits on his sacred throne;
he rules over the nations.
9 The rulers of the nations assemble
with the people of the God of Abraham.
More powerful than all armies is he;
he rules supreme.
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. All people clap your hands: sing loude vnto God with a ioyfull voyce. 2 For the Lord is high, and terrible: a great King ouer all the earth. 3 He hath subdued the people vnder vs, and the nations vnder our feete. 4 Hee hath chosen our inheritance for vs: euen the glory of Iaakob whom he loued. Selah. 5 God is gone vp with triumph, euen the Lord, with the sound of the trumpet. 6 Sing prayses to God, sing prayses: sing prayses vnto our King, sing prayses. 7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing prayses euery one that hath vnderstanding. 8 God reigneth ouer the heathen: God sitteth vpon his holy throne. 9 The princes of the people are gathered vnto the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the world belong to God: he is greatly to be exalted.
