15 Thou hast with thine Almighty arm From bonds thy [chosen] people freed, ⟨p. 126⟩Redeeming from Captivity Jacob's and Joseph's [numerous] seed.
16 The waters deep saw thee, O God; They saw thee, and [backward] they fled, As if afraid: The depths also Retired as [by fear] troubled.
16 The waters deep saw thee, O God; They saw thee, and [backward] they fled, As if afraid: The depths also Retir'd as [by fear] troubled.
17 The clouds their waters poured out, A [dreadful] sound came from the sky, And then unto the frightened earth Abroad thy [hurtful] arrows fly.
18 Thy Thunder's voice was in the heavens, Thy Lightning [flashed] from the sky, Lightning the world: The trembling earth Did quake as [it were] feared thereby.
