1All of you nations,
clap your hands and shout
joyful praises to God.

under our power,
4and he chose for us the land
that was the pride of Jacob,
his favorite.

as people shout
and trumpets blast.

7the ruler of all the earth!
Praise God with songs.

from his sacred throne.

and are now the people
of Abraham's God.
All rulers on earth
surrender their weapons,
and God is greatly praised!
