3 He shall guide the peoples under us, and the Gentiles under our feet.

4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

5 ¶ God is gone up with a shout of joy, the LORD with the sound of the shofar.

7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises with understanding.

8 God reigns over the Gentiles; God sits upon the throne of his holiness.

9 The princes of the peoples have joined the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong unto God; he is greatly exalted.
