O
clap your hands, all ye people;
shout
unto God with the voice of triumph.
For
the Lord most high is terrible.
He
is a great King over all the earth.
God
is gone up with a shout,
the
Lord, with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing
praises to God; sing praises.
Sing
praises to our King; sing praises.
For
God is the King of all the earth.
Sing
ye praises with understanding.
God
reigneth over the heathen.
God
sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
Sing
praises unto our King. Sing praises.
--Ralph Vaughn Williams,
Psalm 47
