The words

The LORD reigns from his throne on high, let all the nations quake; He sits between the cherubim, so let the whole earth shake. Great is the LORD on Zion hill, exalted over all. Upon his great and holy name let all the nations call.

The King loves truth and equity, established by his might; In Jacob you have done for us all that is just and right. Exalt the LORD our God with us; let all the world abroad Before his footstool worship him, for holy is the Lord.

Moses and Aaron were his priests, Samuel called on his name; They called upon the LORD their God and he replied to them. He spoke to them and gave his law out of the cloud from heaven; They kept the statutes and decrees which he to them had given.

O LORD our God, you answered them; you were to Israèl A loving and forgiving God, but judged their sins as well. Exalt and praise the LORD our God; come, worship him alone. The LORD God on the holy mount, he is the Holy One.

How is this list ordered?

Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.

Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
