God is King for­ev­er; let the na­tions tremble;
Throned above the che­ru­bim, by all the earth adored;
He is great in Zi­on, high above all peo­ples;
Praise Him with fear, for ho­ly is the Lord.

Merciful as migh­ty, He de­lights in jus­tice,
For He reigns in right­eous­ness and rules in eq­ui­ty;
Worship and ex­alt Him, bow­ing down be­fore Him,
Perfect in pow­er and ho­li­ness is He.

Holy men of old in Him alone con­fid­ed;
He for­gave their sins, al­though they felt His chast­en­ing rod;
In His ho­ly temple wor­ship and adore Him,
Faithful and ho­ly is the Lord our God.
