shout to God with cries of joy.2How awesome is the LORD Most High,
the great King over all the earth!
Woohoo! Woohoo! Shout for JOY! Hallelujah!
How GREAT, how AWESOME is the Lord most high!
3He subdued nations under us,
Peoples under our feet.
He had made us victorious. It’s not our own strength that has won victories in our lives – it’s been Him, preparing the way for us, running interference for us, and winning battles for us. Hallelujah! Thank You, Lord.
4He chose our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.
Selah
What an honor – to be recognized as one who inherits from the King of Kings!
He has adopted us into His Own family!
5God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets.
Picture it in your mind – God, the Lord, ascending to the heavens among great shouts of Lord and the sounding of trumpets. Fanfare beyond our wildest imaginations…both formal – as in a majestic procession – and informal – as in the largest crowd you’ve ever seen shouting for JOY!
6Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.7For God is the King of all the earth;
sing to him a psalm of praise.
Sing praises to our God and our King. Praises of all kinds – the Hallelujah chorus and the simple phrase “I love you Lord.” Sing to praises to Him throughout your day. Do it NOW!
8God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.9The nobles of the nations assemble
as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings of the earth belong to God;
he is greatly exalted.
God reigns! Over all of it! He is greatly exalted! But he doesn’t usurp the authority to rule our lives. Let Him rule your heart today. He is great and awesome and indescribably good! Hallelujah! Verses 1 and 2 are worth repeating:
1Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.2How awesome is the LORD Most High,
the great King over all the earth!
