So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day. 11 And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters. 12 Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. 13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: 14 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:

But while their meat was yet in their mouths, 31 The wrath of God came{H8804)} upon them, and slew{H8799)} the fattest of them, and smote down{H8689)} the chosen men of Israel. 32 For all this they sinned{H8804)} still, and believed{H8689)} not for his wondrous works{H8737)}. 33 Therefore their days did he consume{H8762)} in vanity, and their years in trouble. 34 When he slew{H8804)} them, then they sought{H8804)} him: and they returned{H8804)} and enquired early{H8765)} after God. 35 And they remembered{H8799)} that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer{H8802)}. 36 Nevertheless they did flatter{H8762)} him with their mouth, and they lied{H8762)} unto him with their tongues. 37 For their heart was not right{H8737)} with him, neither were they stedfast{H8738)} in his covenant. 38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave{H8762)} their iniquity, and destroyed{H8686)} them not: yea, many a time{H8689)} turned he his anger away{H8687)}, and did not stir up{H8686)} all his wrath. 39 For he remembered{H8799)} that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away{H8802)}, and cometh not again{H8799)}. 40 How oft did they provoke{H8686)} him in the wilderness, and grieve{H8686)} him in the desert! 41 Yea, they turned back{H8799)} and tempted{H8762)} God, and limited{H8689)} the Holy One of Israel. 42 They remembered{H8804)} not his hand, nor the day when he delivered{H8804)} them from the enemy. 43 How he had wrought{H8804)} his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: 44 And had turned{H8799)} their rivers into blood; and their floods{H8802)}, that they could not drink{H8799)}. 45 He sent{H8762)} divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured{H8799)} them; and frogs, which destroyed{H8686)} them. 46 He gave{H8799)} also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. 47 He destroyed{H8799)} their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost. 48 He gave up{H8686)} their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 49 He cast{H8762)} upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. 50 He made{H8762)} a way to his anger; he spared{H8804)} not their soul from death, but gave their life over{H8689)} to the pestilence; 51 And smote{H8686)} all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: 52 But made his own people to go forth{H8686)} like sheep, and guided{H8762)} them in the wilderness like a flock. 53 And he led{H8686)} them on safely, so that they feared{H8804)} not: but the sea overwhelmed{H8765)} their enemies{H8802)}. 54 And he brought{H8686)} them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased{H8804)}. 55 He cast out{H8762)} the heathen also before them, and divided{H8686)} them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell{H8686)} in their tents. 56 Yet they tempted{H8762)} and provoked{H8686)} the most high God, and kept{H8804)} not his testimonies: 57 But turned back{H8735)}, and dealt unfaithfully{H8799)} like their fathers: they were turned aside{H8738)} like a deceitful bow. 58 For they provoked him to anger{H8686)} with their high places, and moved him to jealousy{H8686)} with their graven images. 59 When God heard{H8804)} this, he was wroth{H8691)}, and greatly abhorred{H8799)} Israel: 60 So that he forsook{H8799)} the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed{H8765)} among men; 61 And delivered{H8799)} his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. 62 He gave his people over{H8686)} also unto the sword; and was wroth{H8694)} with his inheritance. 63 The fire consumed{H8804)} their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage{H8795)}. 64 Their priests fell{H8804)} by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation{H8799)}. 65 Then the Lord awaked{H8799)} as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth{H8711)} by reason of wine. 66 And he smote{H8686)} his enemies in the hinder parts: he put{H8804)} them to a perpetual reproach. 67 Moreover he refused{H8799)} the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose{H8804)} not the tribe of Ephraim: 68 But chose{H8799)} the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved{H8804)}. 69 And he built{H8799)} his sanctuary like high{H8802)} palaces, like the earth which he hath established{H8804)} for ever. 70 He chose{H8799)} David also his servant, and took{H8799)} him from the sheepfolds: 71 From following the ewes great with young{H8802)} he brought{H8689)} him to feed{H8800)} Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. 72 So he fed{H8686)} them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided{H8686)} them by the skilfulness of his hands.
