Opening the chapter…
God is the supreme king, so all the peoples should tremble in his presence! He sits on his throne in the temple above the statues of winged creatures, so the earth should quake!
God is a mighty king in Jerusalem; he is also the supreme ruler of all the peoples.
They should praise him because he is very great; he is holy!
He is a mighty king who loves what is just; he has acted justly and fairly in Israel.
Praise God, our God! Worship him in front of his footstool, the sacred chest in his temple, where he rules people. He is holy!
Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those three cried out to God to help them, and he answered them.
He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud that was like a huge pillar; they obeyed all the laws and commandments that he gave to them.
God, our God, you answered your people when they cried out to you to help them; you are a God who forgave them for the sins that they had committed, even though you punished them for the things that they did that were wrong.
Praise God our God and worship him at the temple on his sacred hill; it is right to do that because God our God is holy!
