The Lord came from Mount Sinai;
    he rose like the sun over Edom
    and shone on his people from Mount Paran.
Ten thousand angels were with him,
    a flaming fire at his right hand.[a]

    and protects those who belong to him.
So we bow at[c] his feet
    and obey his commands.
We obey the Law that Moses gave us,
    our nation's most treasured possession.
