Psalms

Psalm 99:6–8

6Moses and Aaron were among His priests;

Samuel was among those who called on His name.

They called to the LORD and He answered.

7He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;

they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

8O LORD our God, You answered them.

You were a forgiving God to them,

yet an avenger of their misdeeds.
