8 O Lord, our God, thou didst answer them: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong doings.

9 Exalt the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his holy mount; for holy is the Lord our God.

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.
