3 They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! —

Exalt the LORD our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy!

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered them.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

8 Jehovah, our God, thou answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.
