He asked You for life, and You gave it to him—
length of days forever and ever.

The Lord gave the command;
a great company of women brought the good news:

Instead, they gave me gall for my food,
and for my thirst
they gave me vinegar to drink.

He split rocks in the wilderness
and gave them drink as abundant as the depths.

He gave a command to the clouds above
and opened the doors of heaven.

He rained manna for them to eat;
He gave them grain from heaven.

They ate and were completely satisfied,
for He gave them what they craved.

He gave their crops to the caterpillar
and the fruit of their labor to the locust.

He gave up His strength to captivity
and His splendor to the hand of a foe.

He beat back His foes;
He gave them lasting shame.

They gave the corpses of Your servants
to the birds of the sky for food,
the flesh of Your godly ones
to the beasts of the earth.

You fed them the bread of tears
and gave them a full measure
of tears to drink.

So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts
to follow their own plans.

Before the mountains were born,
before You gave birth to the earth and the world,
from eternity to eternity, You are God.

He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud;
they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

He gave them hail for rain,
and lightning throughout their land.

He spread a cloud as a covering
and gave a fire to light up the night.

He gave them the lands of the nations,
and they inherited
what other peoples had worked for.

He gave them what they asked for,
but sent a wasting disease among them.

He gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance to His people Israel.

and gave their land as an inheritance,
        His love is eternal.

He set them in position forever and ever;
He gave an order that will never pass away.
