1
The Lord reigns,
let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
let the earth shake.
2
Great is the Lord in Zion;
he is exalted over all the nations.
3
Let them praise your great and awesome name -
he is holy.
4
The King is mighty, he loves justice -
you have established equity;
in Jacob you have done
what is just and right.
5
Exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his footstool;
he is holy.
6
Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel was among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord
and he answered them.
7
He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;
they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.
8
Lord our God,
you answered them;
you were to Israel a forgiving God,
though you punished their misdeeds. 1
9
Exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his holy mountain,
for the Lord our God is holy.
