13 and led them through the depths
like a horse in the wilderness,
so that they did not stumble.
14 Like cattle that go down into the valley,
the Spirit of the Lord gave them[a] rest.
You led Your people this way
to make a glorious name for Yourself.

from Your lofty home—holy and beautiful.
Where is Your zeal and Your might?
Your yearning[b] and Your compassion
are withheld from me.
