47

Omnes gentes, plauditeBCP p. 650

1Clap your hands, all you peoples; *shout to God with a cry of joy.

2For the Lord Most High is to be feared; *he is the great King over all the earth.

3He subdues the peoples under us, *and the nations under our feet.

4He chooses our inheritance for us, *the pride of Jacob whom he loves.

5God has gone up with a shout, *the Lord with the sound of the ram’s-horn.

6Sing praises to God, sing praises; *sing praises to our King, sing praises.

7For God is King of all the earth; *sing praises with all your skill.

8God reigns over the nations; *God sits upon his holy throne.

9The nobles of the peoples have gathered together *with the people of the God of Abraham.

10The rulers of the earth belong to God, *and he is highly exalted.
