Examples from History
6Moses and Aaron were among his priests.
Samuel was among those who call on his name.
They called on the Lord, and he answered them.
7From within the pillar of cloud he spoke to them.
They kept his testimonies and the order that he gave them.
8O Lord our God, you answered them.
For them you were a God who removes sin,
but you repaid them for their deeds.
Concluding Refrain
9Exalt the Lord our God
and bow down before his holy mountain,
because the Lord our God is holy.
