1A psalm of the sons of Korah Applause, everyone. Bravo, bravissimo! Shout God-songs at the top of your lungs!

2God Most High is stunning, astride land and ocean.

3He crushes hostile people, puts nations at our feet.

4He set us at the head of the line, prize-winning Jacob, his favorite.

5Loud cheers as God climbs the mountain, a ram's horn blast at the summit.

6Sing songs to God, sing out! Sing to our King, sing praise!

7He's Lord over earth, so sing your best songs to God.

8God is Lord of godless nations— sovereign, he's King of the mountain.

9Princes from all over are gathered, people of Abraham's God. The powers of earth are God's— he soars over all.
