To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Qoraĥ.

For the conductor, of the sons of Korach, a psalm.

O clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with the voice of triumph.

Let all the peoples join hands together to shout to G d with a voice of song.

For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

For the L rd is exalted and awesome, a great King over all the earth.

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

He shall plague nations in our stead [(to assuage His wrath in them)] and [place] peoples under our feet.

He chooses our inheritance for us, the pride of Ya῾aqov whom he loves. (Sela.)

He shall choose for us our inheritance, the pride of Jacob [(the Temple)], which is beloved to Him forever.

God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a shofar.

[Then] G d shall be exalted with teruah [over the burnt-offerings and peace-offerings]; the L rd, with the sound of the shofar.

Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises to our King, sing praises.

[And we will say:] Sing to G d, sing! Sing to our king, sing!

For God is the King of all the earth: sing a Maskil psalm.

For the King of all the earth is G d — sing a maskil.

God reigns over the nations: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.

[All will say:] G d has reigned over nations; G d has sat on His holy Throne [(which is now complete in its greatness)].

The nobles of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Avraham: for the shields of the earth belong to God: he is greatly exalted.

[And they will say:] The givers of the people have assembled [(those who offered their lives for the sanctity of His name)], the people of the G d of Abraham [(the first "giver," i.e., proselyte)]. For to G d belong the shields of the earth [(and His is the power to shield all who trust in Him)] — He is greatly exalted.
