2 YHWH is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy.

Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on YHWH, and he answered them.

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

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

8 You answered them, YHWH our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

9 Exalt YHWH, our God. Worship at his holy mountain, for YHWH, our God, is holy.
