Day IX : Evening Prayer

47 - Omnes gentes, plaudite

1   O clap your hands together, all you peoples; *
    O cry aloud unto God with shouts of joy.

2   For the Lord Most High is to be feared; *
    he is the great King over all the earth.

3   He shall subdue the peoples under us, *
    and the nations under our feet.

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

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

6   O sing praises, sing praises unto our God; *
    O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.

7   For God is the King of all the earth; *
    think upon his mighty acts and praise him with a song.

8   God reigns over the nations; *
    God sits on his holy throne.

9   The princes of the peoples are gathered with the people of the God of Abraham; *
    for the mighty upon earth have become the servants of the Lord, and he is very highly exalted.
