You will call ¹  and I ²  – I will answer you; you will long for ³  the creature you have made. ⁴ 

Now in this, you are not right – I answer you, ¹  for God is greater than a human being. ² 

In your distress you called out and I rescued you. I answered you from a dark thundercloud. ¹  I tested you at the waters of Meribah. ²  (Selah)

This is what the Lord says: ¹  “Even though ²  they are powerful ³  – and what is more, ⁴  even though their army is numerous ⁵  – nevertheless, ⁶  they will be destroyed ⁷  and trickle away! ⁸  Although I afflicted you, I will afflict you no more. ⁹
