10 But no one has said, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night;
But the Lord will send his mercy in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.
The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care.
And you have given no thought to the Lord your Maker, by whom the heavens were stretched out, and the earth placed on its base; and you went all day in fear of the wrath of the cruel one, when he was making ready for your destruction. And where is the wrath of the cruel one?
Let your mind be turned to your Maker in the days of your strength, while the evil days come not, and the years are far away when you will say, I have no pleasure in them;
For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.

But they were the cause of his downfall, and of that of all Israel.
