my_o father_n god_n and_o i_o will_v exalt_v he_o and_o so_o he_o go_v on_o and_o who_o be_v like_a unto_o thou_o o_o lord_n among_o the_o god_n who_o be_v like_o thou_o glorious_a in_o holiness_n fearful_a in_o praise_n do_v wonder_n thus_o their_o heart_n triumph_v in_o god_n but_o mark_v before_o the_o chapter_n be_v end_v in_o the_o 23._o verse_n when_o they_o come_v to_o marah_n in_o the_o
