What am I that I should tempt God to show unto thee a sign

in the thing which thou knowest to be true?

that he has power, both in heaven and in earth;

And thy will, O Lord, be done, and not mine.

to reclaim and restore the Lamanites to the knowledge of the truth;

And they sought by the power of their arms to destroy us continually.
