6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!
7 For God is King of all the earth; sing to Him a psalm of praise.
8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.
9 The nobles of the nations have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.
