1 The LORD reigns, the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned above the cherubim, the earth quakes!
2 The LORD is great in Zion, And He is exalted above all the peoples.
3 May they praise Your great and awesome name; Holy is He.
4 The strength of the King loves justice; You have established order; You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt the LORD our God And worship at His footstool; Holy is He.
6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was among those who called on His name; They called upon the LORD and He answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud; They kept His testimonies And the statute that He gave them.
8 LORD our God, You answered them; You were a forgiving God to them, And yet an avenger of their evil deeds.
9 Exalt the LORD our God And worship at His holy hill, For the LORD our God is holy.
