2 The Lord is great in Zion; and he is exalted above all the people.

3 They will give thanks to thy name, great, and terrible, [and] holy it is.

Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy.

4 And to the power of the king who loveth justice and righteousness hast thou truly executed in Jacob.

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel among those that call on his name; they called on the Lord, and he answered them.

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

8 O Lord, our God, thou didst answer them: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong doings.

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

9 Exalt the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his holy mount; for holy is the Lord our God.

Exalt YHWH, our God. Worship at his holy mountain, for YHWH, our God, is holy.
