Thou art the God that doest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples.

The waters saw Thee, O God; the waters saw Thee, they were in pain; the depths also trembled.

That they might put their confidence in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments;

They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in His law;

And they tried God in their heart by asking food for their craving.

Yea, they spoke against God; they said: 'Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in His salvation.

When the anger of God went up against them, and slew of the lustieth among them,

When He slew them, then they would inquire after Him, and turn back and seek God earnestly.

And they remembered that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their redeemer.

And still again they tried God, and set bounds to the Holy One of Israel.

Yet they tried and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not His testimonies;

God heard, and was wroth, and He greatly abhorred Israel;

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of Thy name;

Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is their God?'

O God, restore us; and cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt Thou be angry against the prayer of Thy people?

O God of hosts, restore us; and cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

O God of hosts, return, we beseech Thee;

So shall we not turn back from Thee; quicken Thou us, and we will call upon Thy name. O LORD God of hosts, restore us; cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
