¹⁰ We ^(A)grope along the wall like blind men;
We grope like those who have no eyes;
We ^(B)stumble at midday as in the twilight,
Among those who are vigorous we are ^(C)like dead men.

^16 (A)Give glory to Yahweh your God,
Before He brings ^(B)darkness
And before your ^(C)feet ^[a]stumble
On the dusky mountains;
And while you are hoping for light,
He makes it into the ^(D)shadow of death
And turns it into dense gloom.

¹⁵ For ^(A)My people have forgotten Me;
^(B)They burn incense ^[a]to worthless gods,
And they ^[b]have stumbled ^[c]from their ways,
^[d]From the ^(C)ancient paths,
To walk in bypaths,
Not on a ^(D)highway,
