1  ^sThe Lord reigns; ^tlet the peoples tremble!

He ^usits enthroned upon the cherubim; ^vlet the earth quake!

2  The Lord is ^wgreat in Zion;

he is ^xexalted over all the peoples.

3  Let them praise your ^ygreat and awesome name!

^zHoly is he!

4  ^aThe King in his might ^bloves justice.¹

You have established equity;

you have executed justice

and righteousness in Jacob.

5  ^cExalt the Lord our God;

^dworship at his ^efootstool!

^zHoly is he!

6  ^fMoses and Aaron were among his ^gpriests,

Samuel also was among those who ^hcalled upon his name.

They ⁱcalled to the Lord, and he answered them.

7  In ^jthe pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;

they ^kkept his testimonies

and the statute that he gave them.

8  O Lord our God, you answered them;

you were ^la forgiving God to them,

but ^man avenger of their wrongdoings.

9  Exalt the Lord our God,

and worship at his ⁿholy mountain;

for the Lord our God is holy!

^x“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress,

and he answered me;

^yout of the belly of Sheol I cried,

^zand you heard my voice.

3  ^aFor you cast me into the deep,

into the heart of the seas,

and the flood surrounded me;

^ball your waves and your billows

passed over me.

4  ^cThen I said, ‘I am driven away

from your sight;

^dyet I shall again look

upon your holy temple.’

5  ^eThe waters closed in over me ^fto take my life;

the deep surrounded me;

weeds were wrapped about my head

6  at the roots of the mountains.

I went down to the land

whose bars closed upon me forever;

yet you brought up my life from the pit,

O Lord my God.

7  When my life was fainting away,

I remembered the Lord,

^gand my prayer came to you,

into your holy temple.

8  ^hThose who pay regard to vain idols

ⁱforsake their hope of steadfast love.

9  ^jBut I with the voice of thanksgiving

will sacrifice to you;

what I have vowed I will pay.

^kSalvation belongs to the Lord!”
