The Lord goes up with shouts of joy

Psalm 40

  • Refrain:
    The Lord goes up with shouts of joy,
    the Lord goes up with trumpet blasts.
    The Lord goes up with shouts of joy,
    the Lord goes up with trumpet blasts.
  1. All you peoples clap your hands,
    cry to God with shouts of joy!
    For the Lord, the Most High,
    is King of all the earth!
  2. God goes up with shouts of joy;
    God goes up with trumpet blasts!
    Sing praise for our God,
    sing praise to God our King!
  3. God is King of all the earth.
    Sing God's praise with all your skill.
    God is King of the world,
    God reigns from heav'n above!
