Psalm 95:3
Hebrew Bible
1 Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord. Let us shout out praises to our Protector who delivers us. 2 Let us enter his presence with thanksgiving. Let us shout out to him in celebration. 3 For the Lord is a great God, a great king who is superior to all gods. 4 The depths of the earth are in his hand, and the mountain peaks belong to him.

Notes and References
"... Psalm 24 speaks of creation and of God as the king of Glory - a mighty man or a man of war. The same is true of Psalms 47 (especially verse 3) and Psalm 95:3. Psalm 149:2 ties creation and kingship together. In Psalms 68:22-25 and 74:12-17 the king’s battle results in the creation of a people and of cosmos. It then comes as no surprise that the enthronement psalms exhibit the same form: Psalm 93 contains the elements of conflict, kingship, order, and temple, and hence relates to Baal type creation; compare Psalms 97 and 99 ..."
