God

The voice of Thy thunder is in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.

In the sea is Thy way, And Thy paths are in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.

Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!

We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done.

And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons.

And place in God their confidence, And forget not the doings of God, But keep His commands.

And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God is its spirit.

They have not kept the covenant of God, And in His law they have refused to walk,

And they forget His doings, And His wonders that He shewed them.

Before their fathers He hath done wonders, In the land of Egypt--the field of Zoan.

He cleft a sea, and causeth them to pass over, Yea, He causeth waters to stand as a heap.

And leadeth them with a cloud by day, And all the night with a light of fire.

And they add still to sin against Him, To provoke the Most High in the dry place.

And they try God in their heart, To ask food for their lust.

And they speak against God--they said: `Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?'

Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. `Also--bread is He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?'

Therefore hath Jehovah heard, And He sheweth Himself wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also hath gone up against Israel,

For they have not believed in God, Nor have they trusted in His salvation.

And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the heavens He hath opened.

Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to them to satiety.

He causeth an east wind to journey in the heavens, And leadeth by His strength a south wind,

And causeth it to fall in the midst of His camp, Round about His tabernacles.

And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And their desire He bringeth to them.

And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.

With all this they have sinned again, And have not believed in His wonders.
