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.[a]

9 

Exalt the Lord our God

    and worship at his holy mountain,

    for the Lord our God is holy.
