For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
1Oh clap your hands, all you nations.
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

He is a great King over all the earth.
3He subdues nations under us,
and peoples under our feet.
4He chooses our inheritance for us,
the glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5God has gone up with a shout,
Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet.

Sing praises to our King! Sing praises!

Sing praises with understanding.

and God is greatly praised!
