12. the one who guided Moses’ strong handwith his glorious arm;who split the water for themto create an enduring reputation for himself,
13. and who guided them through the depths?Like a horse in the desert, they didn’t stumble.
14. Like cattle descending to the valley,the Lord’s spirit brought them to rest.In this way you led your peopleand made for yourself a glorious reputation.
15. Look down from heaven and see,from your holy and glorious perch.Where are your energy and your might,your concern and your pity?Don’t hold back!
16. You are surely our father,even though Abraham doesn’t know us,and Israel doesn’t recognize us.You, Lord, are our father;your reputation since long ago is that of our redeemer.
17. Why do you lead us astray, Lord, from your ways?Why do you harden our heartso we don’t fear you?Return for the sake of your servantsthe tribes that are your heritage!
