O clap your hands, all peoples; Shout to God with the voice of joy. For the Lord Most High is to be feared, A great King over all the earth. He subdues peoples under us And nations under our feet. He chooses our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom He loves. Selah. God has ascended 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 the King of all the earth; Sing praises with a skillful psalm. God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne. The princes of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the God of Abraham, For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted. Psalms 47:1-9 NASB
May we declare: I will clap my hands and shout with joy! I eat and drink with gladness and a joyful heart because it’s alright with God. I may not see Jesus in person, yet I love Him. If in the morning I still don’t see Him, yet I will trust Him —with laughter and singing. I’ll keep on believing in God, the source of my hope, Who fills me completely with joy and peace because I trust in Him. I will overflow with confident hope through the power of Holy Spirit. The joy of the Lord is my strength. At His feet I will offer worship to the king of kings with shouts of joy, singing and praising the LORD. AMEN!
