[¶0] 1 Jehovah reigneth; tremble let the people: He dwelleth between the cherubim; moved let be the earth.

[¶1] 2 Jehovah in Zion is great; And exalted is he above all nations.

[¶2] 3 They shall acknowledge thy great and terrible name: It is holy.

[¶3] 4 And the strength of the king loveth judgment; Thou hast established rectitude; Judgement and righteousness in Jacob thou hast done.

[¶4] 5 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at his footstool: He is holy.

[¶5] 6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, And Samuel among those who call upon his name; They cried to Jehovah and he answered them.

[¶6] 7 In the pillar of the cloud he spake to them: They kept his testimonies And his statutes which he gave them.

[¶7] 8 O Jehovah, our God! thou didst answer them: A God propitious thou wast to them, And [yet] taking vengeance upon their works.

[¶8] 9 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at the mountain of his holiness; For holy is Jehovah our God.

### Psalm 100

[¶10] A Psalm for praising

[¶11] 1 Sing aloud to Jehovah, all ye inhabitants of the earth.

[¶12] 2 Serve Jehovah with gladness; Come into his presence with exultation.

[¶13] 3 Know that Jehovah He is God; He made us, and not we ourselves: We are his people, and the flock of his pasture.

[¶14] 4 Enter his gates with praise, his courts with exultation; Celebrate him, bless his name:

[¶15] 5 For good is Jehovah, For ever endureth his mercy, And from generation to generation his truth.
