It was not hid from their sons, to a later generation recounting the praises of Jehovah and his strength, and his wonders which he did.

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

The sea was cut in two so that they might go through; the waters were massed together on this side and on that.

In the daytime he was guiding them in the cloud, and all through the night with a light of fire.

To test God was in their minds, when they demanded food to satisfy their cravings.

See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

But he was merciful: he forgave the iniquity, and destroyed them not; but many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his fury:

Ice was rained down on their cattle; thunderstorms sent destruction among the flocks.

And he was their guide to his holy land, even to the mountain, which his right hand had made his;

When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.

Then was the Lord like one awaking from sleep, and like a strong man crying out because of wine.

As he was following the ewes great with young, he took him, that he might feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

Why should the nations say, "Where [is] their God?" Let it be known among the nations before our eyes, [by] the avenging of the blood of your servants that was poured out.

It was sending out its branches to the sea
And its shoots to the River.

Even to the tree which was planted by your right hand, and to the branch which you made strong for yourself.

It was cut down and burned up;
they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

And my people heard not to my voice; and Israel was not inclined to me.

Also Assur was joined with them: they were an arm to the sons of Lot Silence.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

For my soul was filled with evils, and my life touched upon hades.

I was reckoned with those going down to the pit: I was as a man of no strength:

Thou didst remove far from me mine acquaintance; thou didst set me an abomination to them: I was shut up, and I shall not go forth.

I was afflicted and close to death from my youth on;
I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.

I will declare that your gracious love was established forever; in the heavens itself, you have established your faithfulness.

Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters.

Forever will I watch my mercy to him, and my covenant was firm to him.

All those passing over the way plundered him: he was a reproach to his neighbors:

That when the wicked sprouted up like grass
And all who did iniquity flourished,
It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

You've grown my strength like the horn of a wild ox; I was anointed with fresh oil.

Thy throne was prepared from then: thou art from forever.

Thy testimonies were very firm: holiness was becoming to thy house, O Jehovah, to length of days.

The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.

Light was sown for the just one, and gladness for the upright of heart

Jehovah is great in Zion, and he was raised up over all peoples.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who called on His name;
They called upon the Lord and He answered them.

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

{A prayer of the afflicted, when he was in woe, and poured out his complaint before the Lord} Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my crying come unto thee.

My heart was struck and dried up as grass, that I forget eating my bread.

I was like to the pelican of the desert: I was as the owl of the dry places.

For Jehovah built Zion, he was seen in his glory

but when the wind blows through it, it withers away and no one remembers where it was.

How thy works were multiplied. O Jehovah! in wisdom thou madest them all: the earth was filled with thy possessions.

When there was yet but a few of them - and they strangers in the land -

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.

Then Israel came [to] Egypt, and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Ham.

He sent darkness, and it was dark; for they were not obedient unto his word.

Their land was overrun with frogs,
even in their royal chambers.

He sent hail along with the rain; there was lightning in their land.

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.

But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.

He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,

And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

Thus they exchanged [the true God who was] their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.

And he was purposing to put an end to them if Moses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.

Thus they provoked him unto anger with their own inventions; and the plague was great among them.

Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;

Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

They reached up to the sky, then dropped into the depths. The sailors' strength left them because the danger was so great.

they reeled and staggered like drunken men,
and all their skill was useless.

Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.

For my love, they have been accusing me, while, I, was at prayer:

Let his children wander and beg;
Let them seek their food and be driven far from their ruined homes.

Because the man did not remember to show kindness,
But persecuted the suffering and needy man,
And the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.

As the shadow according to its declining I was gone: I was shaken off as the locust.

And I was a reproach to them: they will see me and they will shake the head.

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.

The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.

The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

For his mercy was strengthened upon us, and the truth of Jehovah is forever. Praise ye Jah.

I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.

The right hand of Jehovah was exalted: the right hand of Jehovah did strength.
