<t /><p class="poetry">Listen, all you nations!<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">Pay attention, all inhabitants of earth!<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">The sovereign <sc>Lordsc> will testify<n id="3" /> against you;p> <p class="poetry">the <sc>Lordsc> will accuse you<n id="4" /> from his majestic palace.<n id="5" />p>

But<n id="1" /> Abram<n id="2" /> said, &#8220;O sovereign <sc>Lordsc>,<n id="3" /> by what<n id="4" /> can I know that I am to possess it?&#8221;p>

But I said to my master, &#8216;What if the woman does not want to go<n id="1" /> with me?&#8217;<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">But they exclaimed,<n id="1" /> &#8220;No, my lord! Your servants have come to buy grain for food!

They said, &#8220;My lord, we did indeed come down<n id="1" /> the first time<n id="2" /> to buy food.

<p class="bodytext">But Moses said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;O<n id="2" /> my Lord, please send anyone else whom you wish to send!&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">But you take notice,<n id="1" /> <sc>Lordsc>!p> <p class="poetry">O Lord, do not remain far away from me!p>

<p class="poetry">The Lord laughs in disgust<n id="1" /> at them,p> <p class="poetry">for he knows that their day is coming.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">But now, O Lord, upon what am I relying?p> <p class="poetry">You are my only hope!<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">O Lord, give me the words!<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">Then my mouth will praise you.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">Look, God is my deliverer!<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">The Lord is among those who support me.<n id="2" />p>
