1 Yahweh is the supreme king,so all the people-groups should tremble in his presence!
He sits on his throne in the temple above the statues of winged creatures,
so the earth should shake!
2 Yahweh is a mighty king in Jerusalem;
but he is also the supreme ruler of all the people-groups.
3 So they should praise him because he is very powerful;
and he is holy!
4 He is a mighty king who is pleased with what is right;
he has acted justly and fairly in Israel.
5 Praise Yahweh our God!
Worship him in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple,
where he rules people.
He is holy!
6 Moses and Aaron were two of his priests;
Samuel also was someone who prayed to him.
Those three cried out to Yahweh to help them,
and he answered them.
7 He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud that was like a huge pillar;
they obeyed all the laws and commandments that he gave to them.
8 Yahweh, our God, you answered your people
when they cried out to you to help them;
you are a God who forgave them for the sins that they had committed,
even though you punished them for the things that they did that are wrong.
9 Praise Yahweh, our God,
and worship him at the temple on his sacred hill;
it is right to do that because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
