O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with a 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 unto our King, sing praises . For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises everyone that hath understanding. God reigneth over the heathen, God sitteth upon the throne of His holiness. Sing praises unto our King. Sing praises. [from Psalm 47]
