Verse 2 is found in chapter 47 of Psalms. Psalm 47 celebrates God as King over all the earth. The call to clap and shout transforms divine sovereignty into public and communal celebration. Jacob’s election is connected with a universal perspective: the God of Israel is not presented as a deity limited territorially, but as sovereign over the nations. The conclusion imagines peoples joining in praise of the God of Abraham.

Frohlocket mit Händen, alle Völker, und jauchzet Gott mit fröhlichem Schall!
Porque Jehová el Altísimo es terrible; Rey grande sobre toda la tierra.

Car l'Eternel, le Très-Haut, est redoutable, Il est un grand roi sur toute la terre.
Perciocchè il Signore è l’Altissimo, il Tremendo, Gran Re sopra tutta la terra.
Porque o SENHOR Altíssimo é tremendo, e Rei grande sobre toda a terra.
因為耶和華至高者是可畏的, 他是治理全地的大君王。
