For the Lord, the Most High, (A)is to be feared,
    (B)a great king over all the earth.
He (C)subdued peoples under us,
    and nations under our feet.
He chose our (D)heritage for us,
    (E)the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah

God (F)has 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 (G)the King of all the earth;
    sing praises (H)with a psalm![a]

God (I)reigns over the nations;
    God sits on his holy throne.
(J)The princes of the peoples gather
    as the people of the God of Abraham.
For (K)the shields of the earth belong to God;
    he is highly exalted!
