the praises of Yahweh.
060:007 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you,
the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come
up with acceptance on my altar; and I will glorify the house

minister to you: for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor
have I had mercy on you.
