1 T he Lord rules! Let the people shake in fear! He sits on His throne above the angels. Let the earth shake!

The Lord reigns; Let the peoples tremble! He dwells between the cherubim; Let the earth be moved!

2 T he Lord is great in Zion. And He is honored above all people.

The Lord is great in Zion, And He is high above all the peoples.

3 L et them praise Your great name. It is to be honored with fear. He is holy!

Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy.

4 T he strength of the King loves what is right. You have set up what is fair. You do what is right and fair in Jacob.

The King’s strength also loves justice; You have established equity; You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 H onor the Lord our God. Worship at His feet. For He is holy!

Exalt the Lord our God, And worship at His footstool— He is holy.

6 M oses and Aaron were among His religious leaders. And Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called upon the Lord, and He answered them.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was among those who called upon His name; They called upon the Lord, and He answered them.

7 H e spoke to them from the cloud. They kept His Word and the Law that He gave them.

He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar; They kept His testimonies and the ordinance He gave them.

8 O Lord our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them. But You punished them for their wrong-doing.

You answered them, O Lord our God; You were to them God-Who-Forgives, Though You took vengeance on their deeds.

9 H onor the Lord our God. And worship at His holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy!

Exalt the Lord our God, And worship at His holy hill; For the Lord our God is holy.
