He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

Verse 3 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.

Denn der HERR, der Allerhöchste, ist erschrecklich, ein großer König auf dem ganzen Erdboden.
Él sujetará a los pueblos debajo de nosotros, Y a las gentes debajo de nuestros pies.
Él somete a los pueblos bajo nosotros y a las naciones bajo nuestros pies.
Il nous assujettit des peuples, Il met des nations sous nos pieds;
Egli ridurrà i popoli sotto noi, E la nazioni sotto i nostri piedi.
Ele nos subjugará os povos e as nações debaixo dos nossos pés.
他使萬民服在我們以下, 又使萬族服在我們腳下。
