15 You (A)trampled on the sea with Your horses,
On the (B)foam of many waters.

At the sound, my lips quivered.

And in my place I tremble;
Because I [b]must (E)wait quietly for the day of distress,
[c]For the (F)people to arise who will attack us.
17 Even if the (G)fig tree does not blossom,
And there is no [d]fruit on the vines,
If the yield of the (H)olive fails,
And the fields produce no food,
Even if the (I)flock disappears from the fold,
And there are (J)no cattle in the stalls,
