12. He that led them by the right hand of Moses with the arm of his glory, he who divided the water before them, thus making himself an everlasting name.
13. He that led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, they never stumbled.
14. The Spirit of the Lord pastored them as a beast that goes down into the valley; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
15. Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory; where is thy zeal and thy strength, the feeling of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?
16. Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel not acknowledge us; thou, O Lord, art our father; our everlasting Redeemer is thy name.
17. O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways? Hast thou hardened our heart to thy fear? Return for thy slaves, for the tribes of thine inheritance.
18. The people of thy holiness have possessed the promised land but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19. We have been like those over whom thou didst never rule, who were never called by thy name.
