TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. All you peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

2 For, Yahweh—as Most High, is to be revered, A great king, over all the earth,

For YHWH Most High [is] fearful, A great King over all the earth.

3 He will subjugate, Peoples under us, and, Tribes of men beneath our feet.

He leads peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

4 He chooseth for us our inheritance, The excellence of Jacob, which he hath loved. (Selah)

5 God hath ascended with a shout, Yahweh, with the sound of a horn.

6 Sing praises unto God, sing praises, Sing praises to our King, sing praises;

Praise God—praise—give praise to our king, praise.

7 For God is king of all the earth, Sing praises with understanding.

For God [is] King of all the earth, Give praise, O understanding one.

8 God, hath become king, over the nations, God, hath taken his seat upon his holy throne.

God has reigned over nations, God has sat on His holy throne,

9 The willing-hearted of the peoples, have gathered themselves together, The people of the God of Abraham; For, to God, belong the shields of the earth, Greatly is he exalted.

Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For the shields of earth [are] to God, Greatly has He been exalted!
