And the fire causeth the waters to boil;
To make Thy name known to Thine adversaries,
That the nations might tremble at Thy presence,
|
| TJBU

Neither hath the eye seen a God beside Thee,
Who worketh for him that waiteth for Him.

Upon them have we stayed of old, that we might be saved.

And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
