The Lord reigns!

(Psalm 93:1-5)
1
A psalm for David himself. The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: he that sitteth on the cherubims: let the earth be moved.
2
The Lord is great in Sion, and high above all people.
3
Let them give praise to thy great name: for it is terrible and holy:
4
And the king’s honour loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared directions: thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.
5
Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, for it is holy.
6
Moses and Aaron among his priests: and Samuel among them that call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heard them:
7
He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the commandment which he gave them.
8
Thou didst hear them, O Lord our God: thou wast a merciful God to them, and taking vengeance on all their inventions.
9
Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.
