Thou leddest

You, in Your great compassion,

Did not forsake them in the wilderness;

The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day,

To guide them on their way,
Nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go.

The Lord was going before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead them on the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night.

The angel of God, who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them.

Then He led them with the cloud by day
And all the night with a light of fire.

He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to illumine by night.

In the way

He led them also by a

straight way,

To go to

an inhabited city.

Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;
For I trust in You;
Teach me the way in which I should walk;
For to You I lift up my soul.
