And returned and searched diligently for God;

O Lord, they sought You in distress;
They could only whisper a prayer,
Your chastening was upon them.

Who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their back to Me,
And not their face;
But in the time of their trouble they will say,
‘Arise and save us.’

The lord

And so sank down in their iniquity.

‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

He saw

And He lifted them and carried them all the days of old.
