1 L’Éternel règne: que les peuples tremblent! Il est assis entre les chérubins: que la terre s’émeuve!

A Psalm of David. The Lord reigns; —let the people rage; [it is he] that sits upon the cherubs, let the earth be moved.

2 L’Éternel est grand en Sion, et il est haut élevé par-dessus tous les peuples.

3 Ils célébreront ton nom grand et terrible: – il est saint! –

4 Et la force du roi qui aime la justice. Toi, tu établis la droiture, tu exerces le jugement et la justice en Jacob.
