| Yet they provoked the Lord most High | S |
| And dared distrust his hand | I |
| Can he with bread our host supply | S |
| Amidst this desert land | I |

| The Lord with indignation heard | T |
| And caused his wrath to flame | U |
| His terrors ever stand prepared | V |
| To vindicate his name | U |
