1 The LORD rules as king. Let the people tremble. He is enthroned over the angels. Let the earth quake.

2 The LORD is mighty in Zion. He is high above all people.

3 Let them give thanks to your great and fearful name. He is holy!

4 The king's strength is that he loves justice. You have established fairness. You have done what is fair and right for Jacob.

5 Highly honor the LORD our God. Bow down at his footstool. He is holy!

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests. Samuel was among those who prayed to him. They called to the LORD, and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them from a column of smoke. They obeyed his written instructions and the laws that he gave them.

8 O LORD, our God, you answered them. You showed them that you are a forgiving God and that you are a God who punishes their [sinful] deeds.

9 Highly honor the LORD our God. Bow at his holy mountain. The LORD our God is holy!
