1 HaShem reigneth; let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake.

2 HaShem is great in Zion; and He is high above all the peoples.

3 Let them praise Thy name as great and awful; Holy is He.

4 The strength also of the king who loveth justice--Thou hast established equity, Thou hast executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt ye HaShem our G-d, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool; Holy is He.

6 Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His name, did call upon HaShem, and He answered them.

7 He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud; they kept His testimonies, and the statute that He gave them.

8 O HaShem our G-d, Thou didst answer them; a forgiving G-d wast Thou unto them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.

9 Exalt ye HaShem our G-d, and worship at His holy hill; for HaShem our G-d is holy.
