You provided bread from heaven for their hunger;

you brought them water from the rock for their thirst.

You told them to go in and possess the land

you had sworn[fn] to give them.

If its roots grow old in the ground

and its stump starts to die in the soil,

But as a mountain collapses and crumbles

and a rock is dislodged from its place,

or were inscribed in stone forever

by an iron stylus and lead!

and consign your gold to the dust,

the gold of Ophir to the stones in the wadis,

Drenched by mountain rains,

they huddle against[fn] the rocks, shelterless.

Do you know when mountain goats give birth?

Have you watched the deer in labor?

out of the muddy clay,

making my steps secure.

Lead me to a rock that is high above me,

“I would satisfy you with honey from the rock.”

the cliffs are a refuge for hyraxes.

He opened a rock, and water gushed out;

it flowed like a stream in the desert.

who turned the rock into a pool,

the flint into a spring.

He led his people in the wilderness.

His faithful love endures forever.

Happy is he who takes your little ones

and dashes them against the rocks.

When their rulers[fn] will be thrown off

the sides of a cliff,

the people[fn] will listen to my words,

for they are pleasing.
