1    The Lord is king: let the peoples tremble;  ♦

he is enthroned above the cherubim: let the earth shake.

2    The Lord is great in Zion  ♦

and high above all peoples.

3    Let them praise your name, which is great and awesome;  ♦

the Lord our God is holy.

4    Mighty king, who loves justice,

    you have established equity;  ♦

you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5    Exalt the Lord our God;  ♦

bow down before his footstool, for he is holy.

6    Moses and Aaron among his priests

    and Samuel among those who call upon his name;  ♦

they called upon the Lord and he answered them.

7    He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud;  ♦

they kept his testimonies and the law that he gave them.

8    You answered them, O Lord our God;  ♦

you were a God who forgave them

    and pardoned them for their offences.

9    Exalt the Lord our God

    and worship him upon his holy hill,  ♦

for the Lord our God is holy.
