3 He subdued peoples under us,
    and nations under our feet.
4 He chose our heritage for us,
    the pride of Jacob whom he loves.Selah

5 God has gone up with a shout,
    the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

7 For God is the king of all the earth;
    sing praises with a psalm.[a]

8 God is king over the nations;
    God sits on his holy throne.
9 The princes of the peoples gather
    as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
    he is highly exalted.
