Terrify them, Lord! Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah)

You rescue me from a hostile army; you make me a leader of nations; people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects.

You, by your power, defeated nations and settled our fathers on their land; you crushed the people living there and enabled our ancestors to occupy it.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

God reigns over the nations! God sits on his holy throne!

May his fame endure! May his dynasty last as long as the sun remains in the sky! May they use his name when they formulate their blessings! May all nations consider him to be favored by God!

He drove the nations out from before them; he assigned them their tribal allotments and allowed the tribes of Israel to settle down.

All the nations, whom you created, will come and worship you, O Lord. They will honor your name.

The nations will respect the reputation of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will respect his splendor,

Let all the people of the earth acknowledge the Lord and turn to him! Let all the nations worship you!

A psalm of Asaph. O God, foreigners have invaded your chosen land; they have polluted your holy temple and turned Jerusalem into a heap of ruins.
