1 Yahweh is the supreme king,

so all the people-groups should tremble ◄in his presence/in front of him►!

He sits on his throne in the temple above the statues of winged creatures,

so the earth should quake/shake!

2 Yahweh is a mighty king in Jerusalem;

but he is also the supreme ruler of all people-groups.

3 So they should praise him because he is very great/powerful;

and he is holy!

4 He is a mighty king who ◄loves/is pleased with► what is just/right;

he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.

5 Praise Yahweh our God!

Worship him in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple [MTY],

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 [DOU] 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 those 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!
