Yahweh reigns; let the nations tremble. He sits enthroned above the cherubim; the earth quakes.

2 The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high aboue all the people.

Yahweh is great in Zion; he is exalted above all the nations.

3 They shall prayse thy great and fearefull Name (for it is holy)

Let them praise your great and awesome name; he is holy.

4 And the Kings power, that loueth iudgement: for thou hast prepared equitie: thou hast executed iudgement and iustice in Iaakob.

5 Exalt the Lord our God, and fall downe before his footestoole: for he is holy.

Praise Yahweh our God and worship at his footstool. He is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron were among his Priests, and Samuel among such as call vpon his Name: these called vpon the Lord, and he heard them.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel was among those who called on his name. They called to Yahweh, and he answered them.

7 Hee spake vnto them in the cloudie pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the Lawe that he gaue them.

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud. They kept his solemn commands and the statutes that he gave them.

8 Thou heardest them, O Lord our God: thou wast a fauourable God vnto them, though thou didst take vengeance for their inuentions.

You answered them, Yahweh our God. A forgiving God you were to them, but one who punished their sinful deeds.

9 Exalt the Lord our God, and fall downe before his holy Mountaine: for the Lord our God is holy.

Praise Yahweh our God, and worship at his holy hill, for Yahweh our God is holy.
