Because he is a great king and does wonderful things, people greatly honor him and respect him; the righteous things that he does will endure forever.
4
He has done wonderful things that people will always remember; Yahweh always acts kindly and mercifully.
5
He provides food for those who have an awesome respect for him; he never forgets the covenant that he made with our ancestors.
6
By enabling his people to capture the lands that belonged to other people groups, he has shown to us, his people, that he is very powerful.
7
He does everything fairly, as he has promised us, and we can depend on him to help us when he commands us to do things.
8
What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.

He rescued us, his people, from being slaves in Egypt, and he made a covenant with us that will last forever. He is holy and awesome!
