17 The waters have seen thee, O God, and the waters have seen thee, and have feared, and the depths have trembled.

18 The clouds poured out waters, the clouds gave out thunder, and Thy arrows flew.

19 The voice of Thy thunder is in the circle of heaven; lightning illuminated the universe; the earth shook and shook.

20 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path is in great waters, and thy traces are unknown.

21 Thou hast led thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

2 I will open my mouth in a parable, and I will speak divination of old.

8 and not to be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, unsettled in heart, and unfaithful to God in spirit.

9 And the sons of Ephraim, armed, shooting bows, turned back in the day of battle, saying,

10 and they have not kept the covenant of God, and have denied to walk in his law;

11 and they have forgotten his works, and the wonders which he hath shewed unto them.

12 And he did wonders in the sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan;

13 He divided the sea, and led them through it, and made the waters a wall;

14 And he led them by day with a cloud, and all night long with the light of fire;
