Many are saying, “Oh, that we might see some good!”
Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Lord.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
But we will remember and trust in the name of the Lord our God.

When He killed [some of] them, then those remaining sought Him,
And they returned [to Him] and searched diligently for God [for a time].

Why should the [Gentile] nations say, “Where is their God?”
Let there be known [without delay] among the nations in our sight [and to this generation],
Your vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been poured out.

They wandered in the wilderness in a [solitary] desert region;
And did not find a way to an inhabited city.

Some dwelt in darkness and in the deep (deathly) darkness,
Prisoners [bound] in misery and chains,

Fools, because of their rebellious way,
And because of their sins, were afflicted.

Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters;
