1Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved. 2Yahweh is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples. 3Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy! 4The King's strength also loves justice. You do establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob. 5Exalt Yahweh our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy! 6Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on Yahweh, and he answered them. 7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them. 8You answered them, Yahweh our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings. 9Exalt Yahweh, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for Yahweh, our God, is holy! A Psalm of thanksgiving.
