1The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!

2The LORD is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the peoples.

3Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he!

4The King in his might loves justice. You have established equity; you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5Exalt the LORD our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is he!

6Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel also was among those who called upon his name. They called to the LORD, and he answered them.

7In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them; they kept his testimonies and the statute that he gave them.

8O LORD our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings.

9Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the LORD our God is holy!
