   7: Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah

   12: So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.
   13: Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!
   14: I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.
   15: The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever.
