You people all over the world, clap your hands! Shout joyfully to praise God!

Yahweh, who is much greater than any other god, is awesome; he is a king who rules over all the world!

He chose for us this land where we now live; we Israelite people, whom he loves, are proud that we own this land.

God has gone up into his temple. The people shouted joyfully and blew trumpets as he went up.

Sing songs to praise our God! Sing to praise him! Sing to God, our king!
