Let the earth be moved!

2The Lord is great in Zion,

And He is high above all the peoples.

He is holy.

4The King’s strength also loves justice;

You have established equity;

You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

And worship at His footstool—

He is holy.

6Moses and Aaron were among His priests,

And Samuel was among those who #1 Sam. 7:9; 12:18called upon His name;

They called upon the Lord, and He answered them.

7He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar;

They kept His testimonies and the ordinance He gave them.

8You answered them, O Lord our God;

You were to them God-Who-Forgives,

Though You took vengeance on their deeds.

9Exalt the Lord our God,

And worship at His holy hill;

For the Lord our God is holy.
