1 Herren regerer, Folkene bæve; han sidder over Keruber, Jorden ryster.

4 Og Kongens Vælde elsker Ret; du har befæstet Retvished, du har gjort Ret og Retfærdighed i Jakob.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

8 Herre, vor Gud! du bønhørte dem, du var dem en Gud, som tilgav dem, men ogsaa en Hævner over deres Gerninger.

You answered them, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.
