Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. How awesome is the Lord Most High, the great King over all the earth! He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet. He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom in loved. God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets. Psalm 47:1-5 NIV
