Jehovah reigns. Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim; the earth shakes.

2 Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.

Jehovah is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

3 They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'

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

4 And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou — Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou — Thou hast done.

The King's strength also loves justice. You do establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

6 Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

7 In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

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

8 O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

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

9 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!

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