1The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

1The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

2The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

2The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

3Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

3Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

4The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

4The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

5Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

5Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.

6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

7He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

7His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

8Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

8You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

9Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

9Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
