    and I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord.
    In the midst of our years revive those deeds.
    In the midst of our years reveal them again.
    In your rage, remember to have mercy.

His brightness is like lightning.
    Lightning bolts flash out from his hand,[b]
        where his strength is hidden.
