[1] The LORD rules—the nations shake! He sits enthroned on the winged heavenly creatures—the earth quakes! [2] The LORD is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. [3] Let them thank your great and awesome name. He is holy! [4] Strong king who loves justice, you are the one who established what is fair. You worked justice and righteousness in Jacob. [5] Magnify the LORD, our God! Bow low at his footstool! He is holy! [6] Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel too among those who called on his name. They cried out to the LORD, and he himself answered them— [7] he spoke to them from a pillar of cloud. They kept the laws and the rules God gave to them. [8] LORD our God, you answered them. To them you were a God who forgives but also the one who avenged their wrong deeds. [9] Magnify the LORD our God! Bow low at his holy mountain because the LORD our God is holy!
