1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.*

2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.*

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

8 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

1 L’Éternel règne: les peuples tremblent;

Il est assis sur les chérubins: la terre chancelle.

2 L’Éternel est grand dans Sion,

Il est élevé au-dessus de tous les peuples.

3 Qu’on célèbre ton nom grand et redoutable!

Il est saint!

4 Qu’on célèbre la force du roi qui aime la justice!

Tu affermis la droiture,

Tu exerces en Jacob la justice et l’équité.

5 Exaltez l’Éternel, notre Dieu,

Et prosternez-vous devant son marchepied!

Il est saint!

6 Moïse et Aaron parmi ses sacrificateurs,

Et Samuel parmi ceux qui invoquaient son nom,

Invoquèrent l’Éternel, et il les exauça.

7 Il leur parla dans la colonne de nuée;

Ils observèrent ses commandements

Et la loi qu’il leur donna.

8 Éternel, notre Dieu, tu les exauças,

Tu fus pour eux un Dieu qui pardonne,

Mais tu les as punis de leurs fautes.

9 Exaltez l’Éternel, notre Dieu,

Et prosternez-vous sur sa montagne sainte!

Car il est saint, l’Éternel, notre Dieu!
