1 The Lord reigns! The nations tremble. He sits enthroned above the winged angels; the earth shakes.
2 The Lord is elevated 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 strong; he loves justice. You ensure that legal decisions will be made fairly; you promote justice and equity in Jacob.
5 Praise the Lord our God! Worship before his footstool! He is holy!
6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel was one of those who prayed to him. They prayed to the Lord and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them from a pillar of cloud; they obeyed his regulations and the ordinance he gave them.
8 O Lord our God, you answered them. They found you to be a forgiving God, but also one who punished their sinful deeds.
