When you did awesome deeds that we expected,[a]
    you came down,
        and the mountains shuddered before you.

Since[b] ancient times no one has heard,
    and[c] no ear has perceived,
and[d] no eye has seen any God besides you,
    who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.
You come to the aid of those who gladly do what’s right,
    To those who remember you in your ways.
See, you were angry,
    and we sinned against them for a long time,
        but we will be saved.
