Only the gold wingtips of two cherubim meet low in the frame over the dim gold lid of the ark, with great empty darkness above them.

The mighty King loves justice.

You have established equity;

You have exercised justice

and righteousness in Jacob.

Exalt the LORD our God,

and worship at His footstool;

He is holy!

A tall white column of cloud stands over the door of a plain tent in the wilderness, the camp small and far behind.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests;

Samuel was among those who called on His name.

They called to the LORD and He answered.

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;

they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

O LORD our God, You answered them.

You were a forgiving God to them,

yet an avenger of their misdeeds.
