11 And he remembered the days of old, Moses, his people; Where is he that brought them up out of the sea, with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

12 That caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, dividing the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

13 That caused them to go through the deeps, like a horse in the wilderness, without stumbling?

19 We are become as they over whom thou never barest rule, upon whom thy name was not called.

LXIV. 1 O that thou hadst rent the heavens, that thou hadst come down, that the mountains had quaked at thy Presence!
