1 The Lord Jehovah reigns as King,
Let all the people quake:
He sits between the cherubim,
Let earth be moved and shake.
2 Jehovah is in Zion great,
Above all people high;
Thy fearful, great, and holy name,
O let them magnify,.
3 The King's strength also judgment loves;
Thou settlest equity:
Thou judgment just dost execute
In Jacob righteously.
4 The Lord our God exalt on high,
And rev'rently do ye
Before his footstool worship him:
The Holy One is he.
5 Moses and Aaron, with his priests,
Samuel, with them that call
Upon his name: these called on God,
And he them answered all.
6 Within the pillar of the cloud
He unto them did speak;
His statutes they observed; the laws
He gave they did not break.
7 O Lord, our God, thou wast a God,
Who didst them answer send;
Though punishing their deeds, to them
Thou pardon didst extend.
8 Do ye exalt the Lord our God,
And at his holy hill
Do ye him worship: for the Lord,
Our God, is holy still.
1 Jehovah reigns supreme,
Let all the people quake;
He sits between the cherubim,
Let earth's foundations shake.
2 In Zion God is great;
O'er nations high his throne;
His fearful, great, and holy name
In praises let them own.
3 The King's strength judgment loves;
Thou justice dost maintain:
Both righteousness and judgment thou
In Jacob dost sustain.
4 Do ye exalt the Lord,
Our God in praises laud;
And at his footstool worship him,
For holy is our God.
5 Moses and Aaron, priests,
'Midst those that on him call,
And Samuel, too, these called on God,
And he them answered all.
6 In pillar of a cloud,
To them Jehovah spake;
He testimonies gave to them,
And laws they did not break.
7 O Lord, our gracious God,
Thou didst an answer send;
Tho' taking vengeance on their deeds,
Thou pardon didst extend.
8 Do ye exalt the Lord;
Our God in praises laud,
And worship at his holy hill,
For holy is our God.
