O Lord our God, you answered them;
You were to Israel a forgiving God, though you punished their misdeeds.
Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain,
For the Lord our God is holy. -- Psalm 99:8-9
Lord my God, praise you for you answer prayers. Your servant was praying for your guidance and mercy. You forgive and punished. Indeed that is just, for your servant sins against you and your people, and you are merciful righteous Judge.
Praise you for your holy name, praise you for you are Lord my God the Holy One. What am I, the least servant of you? Praise you for you still listening to your servant asking for your merciful acts, even when we sinned and not worthy to call your holy name. But you listened! What else can we say, other than praising you for your grace on your undeserving servant?
Lord my God, be gracious, again your little servant pray to you, when you punished us for our misdeeds, grant us strength to stand firm and lose no faith. Guard our hearts, lest that we lose hopes and despair and run away from you. Guide us through with your staff, shepherd us in your faithful grace.
Praise you, for you are Lord my God, the Holy One.
