[1] The LORD reigns, let the peoples tremble [with submissive wonder]! He sits enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake! [2] The LORD is great in Zion, And He is exalted and magnified above all the peoples. [3] Let them [reverently] praise Your great and awesome name; Holy is He. [4] The strength of the King loves justice and righteous judgment; You have established fairness; You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob (Israel). [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 statutes that He gave them. [8] You answered them, O LORD our God; You were a forgiving God to them, And yet an avenger of their evil practices. [9] Exalt the LORD our God And worship at His holy hill [Zion, the temple mount], For the LORD our God is holy.
