O clap your hands together, all ye people  *

O sing unto God with the voice of melody.

For the Lord is high, and to be feared *

he is the great King upon all the earth.

He shall subdue the people under us *

and the nations under our feet.

He shall choose out an heritage for us *

even the worship of Jacob, whom he loved.

God is gone up with a merry noise *

and the Lord with the sound of the trump.

O sing praises, sing praises unto our God *

O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.

For God is the King of all the earth *

sing ye praises with understanding.

God reigneth over the heathen *

God sitteth upon his holy seat.

The princes of the people are joined unto the people of the God of Abraham *

for God, which is very high exalted, doth defend the earth, as it were with a shield.

Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised  *

in the city of our God, even upon his holy hill.

The hill of Sion is a fair place, and the joy of the whole earth *

upon the north-side lieth the city of the great King; God is well known in her palaces as a sure refuge.

For lo, the kings of the earth *

are gathered, and gone by together.

They marvelled to see such things *

they were astonished, and suddenly cast down.

Fear came there upon them, and sorrow *

as upon a woman in her travail.

Thou shalt break the ships of the sea *

through the east-wind.

Like as we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God *

God upholdeth the same for ever.

We wait for thy loving-kindness, O God *

in the midst of thy temple.

O God, according to thy Name, so is thy praise unto the world’s end *

thy right hand is full of righteousness.

Let the mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Judah be glad *

because of thy judgements.

Walk about Sion, and go round about her *

and tell the towers thereof.

Mark well her bulwarks, set up her houses *

that ye may tell them that come after.

For this God is our God for ever and ever *

he shall be our guide unto death.
