(5) Exalt the Eternal our God and bow down to the divine footstool;
[God] is holy!
(9) Exalt the Eternal our God, and bow toward God’s holy hill, for the Eternal our God is holy.

Romemu Adonai Eloheinu vehishtachavu lahadom raglav, kadosh hu. Romemu Adonai Eloheinu vehishtachavu lehar kodesho, Ki kadosh Adonai Eloheinu.
