When you did terrible deeds which we did not expect,[a] you came down;
    the mountains quaked because of your presence.[b]
And since ancient times they have not heard,
    have not listened,
no eye has seen a God except you;
    he acts[c] for the one who waits for him.

    one who does righteousness.

no eye has seen any God besides you,(C)
    who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(D)
You come to the help of those who gladly do right,(E)
    who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
