1 The Lord reigns,
let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
let the earth shake.
he is exalted over all the nations.
he is holy.
you have established equity;
in Jacob you have done
what is just and right.
and worship at his footstool;
he is holy.
Samuel was among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord
and he answered them.
they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.
you answered them;
you were to Israel a forgiving God,
though you punished their misdeeds.a
and worship at his holy mountain,
for the Lord our God is holy.
