When you descended to perform awesome deeds
    that we did not anticipate,
    the mountains quaked when you appeared.
Throughout the ages no ear has ever heard,
    nor has any eye ever seen,
any other god except you
    performing such deeds for those who trust him.

    and rejoice to imitate your ways.
When we sin, you become angry,
    but when we follow your ways,
    we know that we will be saved.
