​Ascension of Our Lord

¹Clap your hands, all you peoples;
shout to God with loud songs of joy.
²For the LORD, the Most High, is awesome,
a great king over all the earth.
³He subdued peoples under us,
and nations under our feet.
⁴He chose our heritage for us,
the pride of Jacob whom he loves.
Selah

⁵God has gone up with a shout,
the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
⁶Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
⁷For God is the king of all the earth;
sing praises with a psalm.
⁸God is king over the nations;
God sits on his holy throne.
⁹The 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.
