    he is exalted^(G) over all the nations.
³Let them praise^(H) your great and awesome name^(I)—
    he is holy.^(J)

in Jacob you have done
    what is just and right.^(N)
⁵Exalt^(O) the Lord our God
    and worship at his footstool;
    he is holy.

⁶Moses^(P) and Aaron^(Q) were among his priests,
    Samuel^(R) was among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord
    and he answered^(S) them.
⁷He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;^(T)
    they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.

⁸Lord our God,
    you answered them;
you were to Israel a forgiving God,^(U)
    though you punished^(V) their misdeeds.^[a]
⁹Exalt the Lord our God
    and worship at his holy mountain,
    for the Lord our God is holy.

when will you come to me?

I will have no part in it.

I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes^(AQ) and a proud heart,
I will not tolerate.

⁶My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless^(AR)
will minister to me.

⁷No one who practices deceit
will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence.

⁸Every morning^(AS) I will put to silence
all the wicked^(AT) in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer^(AU)
from the city of the Lord.^(AV)
