4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!
