¹⁰ We ^(A)grope along the wall like blind men,
We grope like those who have no eyes;
We ^(B)stumble at midday as in the twilight,
Among those who are vigorous we are ^(C)like dead men.

^16 (A)Give glory to the Lord your God,
Before He brings ^(B)darkness
And before your ^(C)feet stumble
On the dusky mountains,
And while you are hoping for light
He makes it into ^(D)deep darkness,
And turns it into gloom.

¹⁵ ‘For ^(A)My people have forgotten Me,
^(B)They burn incense ^[a]to worthless gods
And they ^[b]have stumbled ^[c]from their ways,
^[d]From the ^(C)ancient paths,
To walk in bypaths,
Not on a ^(D)highway,
