Psalms 47:1

O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

2 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

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

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
