I cried out for heaven to hear me, I reached out to God for my help; no counsel or comfort would cheer me, my spirit abandoned all hope. But in my despair I remembered the songs of a long time ago, and dreamed of the majesty splendored of God the almighty, the true: You spoke in the wind and the thunder, the earth and the elements shook; your power tore the waters asunder, as Shepherd, you guided your flock. Then thank you, O God for your merit, your faithfulness always the same; the Father, the Son and the Spirit - one Lord over all: praise your name!
