    You have made things right.
    You have brought goodness and fairness to Jacob.
⁵ Praise the Lord our God,
    and bow down before his footstool,^[a] for he is holy.
⁶ Moses and Aaron were some of his priests,
    and Samuel was one of the men who called on his name.
They prayed to the Lord,
    and he answered them.
⁷ God spoke from the tall cloud,
    and they obeyed his commands
    and the law he gave them.
⁸ Lord our God, you answered their prayers.

    and that you punish people for the evil they do.
⁹ Praise the Lord our God.
    Bow down toward his holy mountain and worship him.
    The Lord our God is holy!
