1-9 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
For the Lord most high is terrible; HE (The Word) is a great King over all the earth.
HE (The Word) shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
HE shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved.
God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God (The Word) , sing praises: sing praises unto our King (The Word), sing praises.
For God (The Word) is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

8 God (The Word) reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of His holiness.
(Does God really reign over the heathen causing them to do HIS will? Wasn't it God's will for Pharaoh to be destroyed? How did God destroy Pharaoh? God hardened Pharaoh's heart against The Word Moses carried to Pharaoh. Therefore Pharaoh would not do The Word and this caused Pharaoh's destruction. Yes. God rules over the evil rulers and evil people who are ordained for destruction by God.)
***
9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: HE (The Word) is greatly exalted.

Comments by Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
When we learn to think of The Word as God ... and God as The Word ... we have a very solid anchor for our soul and for a proper fear of the Lord which is a "fear" of The Word.
When we fear the Lord, we know The Word HE speaks to us is critical.
We wouldn't dare go against it when we understand a fear of the Lord, The Word.
For to go against that which God says to us by HIS Spirit is to set ourselves in the way of the flesh, the way of death and destruction.
In HIM, in HIS way is peace and safety for us.
And The Word breaks down our own fleshly pride and causes us to yield to God, keeping our flesh under, as the apostle Paul told us to do.
I Corinthians 9:24-27 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate (self-controlled) in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

(Paul brought his own desires into the subjection of The Word of God, causing The Word to reign over that which he did on this earth. The Word is our lord and our king.)
