I will regard and think upon
the working of the Lord,
And all his wonders past and gone
I gladly will record.
Yea, all his works I will declare,
and what he did devise;
To tell his facts I will not spare,
and all his counsel wise.
Thy works, O Lord, are all upright,
and holy all abroad;
What one hath strength to match the might
of thee, the Lord our God?
Thou art a God that dost forth show
thy wonders ev'ry hour;
And so dost make the people know
thy virtue and thy power.
And thy own folk thou dost defend
with an outstretch-ed arm,
Those that from Jacob did descend,
and Joseph's seed from harm.
The waters, Lord, perceiv-ed thee,
the waters saw thee well;
And they for fear away did flee,
the depths on trembling fell.
The clouds that were both thick and black,
did rain full plenteously;
The thunder in the air did crack,
thy shafts abroad did fly:
Thy thunder in the air was heard,
the lightnings from above,
With flashes great made men afraid,
the earth did quake and move.
Thy ways within the sea do lie,
thy paths in waters deep:
Yet none can there thy steps espy,
or know thy paths to keep.
Thou led'st thy folk upon the land
as sheep on ev'ry side;
By Moses and by Aaron's hand
thou didst them safely guide.
