The psalmist is using the clause when you went out to the face of your people, when you marched in the wilderness to describe something that was ongoing. This provides the background for the events he describes in verse 8. Connect this clause to the following verse in a way that makes it clear in your language that this clause is describing something that was ongoing in the background. Alternate translation: [as you went out before your people, as you marched through the wilderness]
