BelH1078 boweth downH3766, NeboH5015 stoopethH7164, their idolsH6091 were upon the beastsH2416, and upon the cattleH929: your carriagesH5385 were heavy loadenH6006; they are a burdenH4853 to the wearyH5889 beast.
They stoopH7164, they bow downH3766 togetherH3162; they couldH3201 not deliverH4422 the burdenH4853, but themselvesH5315 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628. {themselves: Heb. their soul}
HearkenH8085 unto me, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and all the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, which are borneH6006 by me from the bellyH990, which are carriedH5375 from the wombH7356:
And even to your old ageH2209 I am he; and even to hoar hairsH7872 will I carryH5445 you: I have madeH6213, and I will bearH5375; even I will carryH5445, and will deliverH4422 you.
To whom will ye likenH1819 me, and make me equalH7737, and compareH4911 me, that we may be likeH1819?
They lavishH2107 goldH2091 out of the bagH3599, and weighH8254 silverH3701 in the balanceH7070, and hireH7936 a goldsmithH6884; and he makethH6213 it a godH410: they fall downH5456, yea, they worshipH7812.
They bearH5375 him upon the shoulderH3802, they carryH5445 him, and set him in his placeH3240, and he standethH5975; from his placeH4725 shall he not removeH4185: yea, one shall cryH6817 unto him, yet can he not answerH6030, nor saveH3467 him out of his troubleH6869.
RememberH2142 this, and shew yourselves menH377: bring it againH7725 to mindH3820, O ye transgressorsH6586.
RememberH2142 the former thingsH7223 of oldH5769: for I am GodH410, and there is none else; I am GodH430, and there is noneH657 likeH3644 me,
DeclaringH5046 the endH319 from the beginningH7225, and from ancient timesH6924 the things that are not yet doneH6213, sayingH559, My counselH6098 shall standH6965, and I will doH6213 all my pleasureH2656:
CallingH7121 a ravenous birdH5861 from the eastH4217, the manH376 that executeth my counselH6098 from a farH4801 countryH776: yea, I have spokenH1696 it, I will also bringH935 it to pass; I have purposedH3335 it, I will also doH6213 it. {that…: Heb. of my counsel}
HearkenH8085 unto me, ye stoutheartedH47+H3820, that are far fromH7350 righteousnessH6666:
I bring nearH7126 my righteousnessH6666; it shall not be far offH7368, and my salvationH8668 shall not tarryH309: and I will placeH5414 salvationH8668 in ZionH6726 for IsraelH3478 my gloryH8597.

Behold, the former thingsH7223 are come to passH935, and new thingsH2319 do I declareH5046: before they spring forthH6779 I tellH8085 you of them.
I am the LORDH3068, and there is none else, there is no GodH430 besideH2108 me: I girdedH247 thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me:
To whom will ye likenH1819 me, and make me equalH7737, and compareH4911 me, that we may be likeH1819?
For, behold, I createH1254 newH2319 heavensH8064 and a newH2319 earthH776: and the formerH7223 shall not be rememberedH2142, nor comeH5927 into mindH3820. {come…: Heb. come upon the heart}
That they may knowH3045 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121, and from the westH4628, that there is noneH657 besideH1107 me. I am the LORDH3068, and there is none else.
There is none like unto the GodH410 of JeshurunH3484, who ridethH7392 upon the heavenH8064 in thy helpH5828, and in his excellencyH1346 on the skyH7834.
RememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH5769, considerH995 the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generationsH1755: askH7592 thy fatherH1, and he will shewH5046 thee; thy eldersH2205, and they will tellH559 thee. {many…: Heb. generation and generation}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, The labourH3018 of EgyptH4714, and merchandiseH5505 of EthiopiaH3568 and of the SabeansH5436, menH582 of statureH4060, shall come overH5674 unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall comeH3212 afterH310 thee; in chainsH2131 they shall come overH5674, and they shall fall downH7812 unto thee, they shall make supplicationH6419 unto thee, saying, Surely GodH410 is in thee; and there is none else, there is noH657 GodH430.
Thou art the LORDH3068 the GodH430, who didst chooseH977 AbramH87, and broughtest him forthH3318 out of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, and gavestH7760 him the nameH8034 of AbrahamH85;
And foundestH4672 his heartH3824 faithfulH539 beforeH6440 thee, and madestH3772 a covenantH1285 with him to giveH5414 the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, the HittitesH2850, the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the JebusitesH2983, and the GirgashitesH1622, to giveH5414 it, I say, to his seedH2233, and hast performedH6965 thy wordsH1697; for thou art righteousH6662:
And didst seeH7200 the afflictionH6040 of our fathersH1 in EgyptH4714, and heardestH8085 their cryH2201 by the RedH5488 seaH3220;
And shewedstH5414 signsH226 and wondersH4159 upon PharaohH6547, and on all his servantsH5650, and on all the peopleH5971 of his landH776: for thou knewestH3045 that they dealt proudlyH2102 against them. So didst thou getH6213 thee a nameH8034, as it is this dayH3117.
And thou didst divideH1234 the seaH3220 beforeH6440 them, so that they went throughH5674 the midstH8432 of the seaH3220 on the dry landH3004; and their persecutorsH7291 thou threwestH7993 into the deepsH4688, as a stoneH68 into the mightyH5794 watersH4325.
Moreover thou leddestH5148 them in the dayH3119 by a cloudyH6051 pillarH5982; and in the nightH3915 by a pillarH5982 of fireH784, to give them lightH215 in the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou camest downH3381 also upon mountH2022 SinaiH5514, and spakestH1696 with them from heavenH8064, and gavestH5414 them rightH3477 judgmentsH4941, and trueH571 lawsH8451, goodH2896 statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687: {true…: Heb. laws of truth}
And madest knownH3045 unto them thy holyH6944 sabbathH7676, and commandedstH6680 them preceptsH4687, statutesH2706, and lawsH8451, by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 thy servantH5650:
And gavestH5414 them breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for their hungerH7458, and broughtest forthH3318 waterH4325 for them out of the rockH5553 for their thirstH6772, and promisedstH559 them that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 the landH776 which thou hadst swornH3027+H5375 to giveH5414 them. {which…: Heb. which thou hadst lift up thine hand to give them}
But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudlyH2102, and hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687,
And refusedH3985 to obeyH8085, neither were mindfulH2142 of thy wondersH6381 that thou didstH6213 among them; but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointedH5414 a captainH7218 to returnH7725 to their bondageH5659: but thou art a GodH433 ready to pardonH5547, graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and forsookestH5800 them not. {a God…: Heb. a God of pardons}
Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy GodH430 that brought thee upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, and had wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007;
Yet thou in thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 forsookestH5800 them not in the wildernessH4057: the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 departedH5493 not from them by dayH3119, to leadH5148 them in the wayH1870; neither the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to shew them lightH215, and the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou gavestH5414 also thy goodH2896 spiritH7307 to instructH7919 them, and withheldestH4513 not thy mannaH4478 from their mouthH6310, and gavestH5414 them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772.
Yea, fortyH705 yearsH8141 didst thou sustainH3557 them in the wildernessH4057, so that they lackedH2637 nothing; their clothesH8008 waxed not oldH1086, and their feetH7272 swelledH1216 not.
Moreover thou gavestH5414 them kingdomsH4467 and nationsH5971, and didst divideH2505 them into cornersH6285: so they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, and the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316.
Their childrenH1121 also multipliedstH7235 thou as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and broughtestH935 them into the landH776, concerning which thou hadst promisedH559 to their fathersH1, that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 it.
So the childrenH1121 went inH935 and possessedH3423 the landH776, and thou subduedstH3665 beforeH6440 them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavestH5414 them into their handsH3027, with their kingsH4428, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that they might doH6213 with them as they wouldH7522. {as they…: Heb. according to their will}
And they tookH3920 strongH1219 citiesH5892, and a fatH8082 landH127, and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodsH2898, wellsH953 diggedH2672, vineyardsH3754, and oliveyardsH2132, and fruitH3978 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230: so they did eatH398, and were filledH7646, and became fatH8080, and delightedH5727 themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898. {wells: or, cisterns} {fruit…: Heb. tree of food}
Nevertheless they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4775 against thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behindH310 their backsH1458, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 which testifiedH5749 against them to turnH7725 them to thee, and they wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007.
Therefore thou deliveredstH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862, who vexedH6887 them: and in the timeH6256 of their troubleH6869, when they criedH6817 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and according to thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 thou gavestH5414 them savioursH3467, who savedH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862.
But after they had restH5117, they didH6213 evilH7451 againH7725 beforeH6440 thee: therefore leftestH5800 thou them in the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, so that they had the dominionH7287 over them: yet when they returnedH7725, and criedH2199 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and manyH7227 timesH6256 didst thou deliverH5337 them according to thy merciesH7356; {they did…: Heb. they returned to do evil}
And testifiedstH5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them againH7725 unto thy lawH8451: yet they dealt proudlyH2102, and hearkenedH8085 not unto thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 against thy judgmentsH4941, (which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH2421 in them;) and withdrewH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not hearH8085. {withdrew…: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}
Yet manyH7227 yearsH8141 didst thou forbearH4900 them, and testifiedstH5749 against them by thy spiritH7307 inH3027 thy prophetsH5030: yet would they not give earH238: therefore gavestH5414 thou them into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776. {forbear…: Heb. protract over them} {in thy…: Heb. in the hand of thy prophets}
Nevertheless for thy greatH7227 mercies'H7356 sake thou didstH6213 not utterly consumeH3617 them, nor forsakeH5800 them; for thou art a graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349 GodH410.
Now therefore, our GodH430, the greatH1419, the mightyH1368, and the terribleH3372 GodH410, who keepestH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617, let not all the troubleH8513 seem littleH4591 beforeH6440 thee, that hath comeH4672 upon us, on our kingsH4428, on our princesH8269, and on our priestsH3548, and on our prophetsH5030, and on our fathersH1, and on all thy peopleH5971, since the timeH3117 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117. {trouble: Heb. weariness} {that…: Heb. that hath found us}
Howbeit thou art justH6662 in all that is broughtH935 upon us; for thou hast doneH6213 rightH571, but we have done wickedlyH7561:
Neither have our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, our priestsH3548, nor our fathersH1, keptH6213 thy lawH8451, nor hearkenedH7181 unto thy commandmentsH4687 and thy testimoniesH5715, wherewith thou didst testifyH5749 against them.
For they have not servedH5647 thee in their kingdomH4438, and in thy greatH7227 goodnessH2898 that thou gavestH5414 them, and in the largeH7342 and fatH8082 landH776 which thou gavestH5414 beforeH6440 them, neither turnedH7725 they from their wickedH7451 worksH4611.
Behold, we are servantsH5650 this dayH3117, and for the landH776 that thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1 to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodH2898 thereof, behold, we are servantsH5650 in it:
And it yieldeth muchH7235 increaseH8393 unto the kingsH4428 whom thou hast setH5414 over us because of our sinsH2403: also they have dominionH4910 over our bodiesH1472, and over our cattleH929, at their pleasureH7522, and we are in greatH1419 distressH6869.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 that createdH1254 the heavensH8064; GodH430 himself that formedH3335 the earthH776 and madeH6213 it; he hath establishedH3559 it, he createdH1254 it not in vainH8414, he formedH3335 it to be inhabitedH3427: I am the LORDH3068; and there is none else.
MaschilH4905 of AsaphH623. Give earH238, O my peopleH5971, to my lawH8451: inclineH5186 your earsH241 to the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310. {Maschil…: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction}
I will openH6605 my mouthH6310 in a parableH4912: I will utterH5042 dark sayingsH2420 of oldH6924:
Which we have heardH8085 and knownH3045, and our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us.
We will not hideH3582 them from their childrenH1121, shewingH5608 to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5807, and his wonderful worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213.
For he establishedH6965 a testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, and appointedH7760 a lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1, that they should make them knownH3045 to their childrenH1121:
That the generationH1755 to comeH314 might knowH3045 them, even the childrenH1121 which should be bornH3205; who should ariseH6965 and declareH5608 them to their childrenH1121:
That they might setH7760 their hopeH3689 in GodH430, and not forgetH7911 the worksH4611 of GodH410, but keepH5341 his commandmentsH4687:
And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539 with GodH410. {that…: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
The childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, being armedH5401, and carryingH7411 bowsH7198, turned backH2015 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128. {carrying: Heb. throwing forth}
They keptH8104 not the covenantH1285 of GodH430, and refusedH3985 to walkH3212 in his lawH8451;
And forgatH7911 his worksH5949, and his wondersH6381 that he had shewedH7200 them.
Marvellous thingsH6382 didH6213 he in the sightH5048 of their fathersH1, in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814.
He dividedH1234 the seaH3220, and caused them to pass throughH5674; and he made the watersH4325 to standH5324 as an heapH5067.
In the daytimeH3119 also he ledH5148 them with a cloudH6051, and all the nightH3915 with a lightH216 of fireH784.
He claveH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057, and gave them drinkH8248 as out of the greatH7227 depthsH8415.
He broughtH3318 streamsH5140 also out of the rockH5553, and caused watersH4325 to run downH3381 like riversH5104.
And they sinnedH2398 yet moreH3254 against him by provokingH4784 the most HighH5945 in the wildernessH6723.
And they temptedH5254 GodH410 in their heartH3824 by askingH7592 meatH400 for their lustH5315.
Yea, they spakeH1696 against GodH430; they saidH559, CanH3201 GodH410 furnishH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057? {furnish: Heb. order}
Behold, he smoteH5221 the rockH6697, that the watersH4325 gushed outH2100, and the streamsH5158 overflowedH7857; canH3201 he giveH5414 breadH3899 also? canH3201 he provideH3559 fleshH7607 for his peopleH5971?
Therefore the LORDH3068 heardH8085 this, and was wrothH5674: so a fireH784 was kindledH5400 against JacobH3290, and angerH639 also came upH5927 against IsraelH3478;
Because they believedH539 not in GodH430, and trustedH982 not in his salvationH3444:
Though he had commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 from aboveH4605, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064,
And had rained downH4305 mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398, and had givenH5414 them of the cornH1715 of heavenH8064.
ManH376 did eatH398 angels'H47 foodH3899: he sentH7971 them meatH6720 to the fullH7648. {Man…: or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty}
He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265 in the heavenH8064: and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090 the south windH8486. {to blow: Heb. to go}
He rainedH4305 fleshH7607 also upon them as dustH6083, and featheredH3671 fowlsH5775 like as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220: {feathered…: Heb. fowl of wing}
And he let it fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264, round aboutH5439 their habitationsH4908.
So they did eatH398, and were wellH3966 filledH7646: for he gaveH935 them their own desireH8378;
They were not estrangedH2114 from their lustH8378. But while their meatH400 was yet in their mouthsH6310,
The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927 upon them, and slewH2026 the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766 the chosenH970 men of IsraelH3478. {smote…: Heb. made to bow} {Chosen…: or, young men}
For all this they sinnedH2398 still, and believedH539 not for his wondrous worksH6381.
Therefore their daysH3117 did he consumeH3615 in vanityH1892, and their yearsH8141 in troubleH928.
When he slewH2026 them, then they soughtH1875 him: and they returnedH7725 and enquired earlyH7836 after GodH410.
And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697, and the highH5945 GodH410 their redeemerH1350.
Nevertheless they did flatterH6601 him with their mouthH6310, and they liedH3576 unto him with their tonguesH3956.
For their heartH3820 was not rightH3559 with him, neither were they stedfastH539 in his covenantH1285.
But he, being full of compassionH7349, forgaveH3722 their iniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843 them not: yea, many a timeH7235 turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725, and did not stir upH5782 all his wrathH2534.
For he rememberedH2142 that they were but fleshH1320; a windH7307 that passeth awayH1980, and cometh not againH7725.
HowH4100 oft did they provokeH4784 him in the wildernessH4057, and grieveH6087 him in the desertH3452! {provoke: or, rebel against}
Yea, they turned backH7725 and temptedH5254 GodH410, and limitedH8428 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
They rememberedH2142 not his handH3027, nor the dayH3117 when he deliveredH6299 them from the enemyH6862. {from…: or, from affliction}
How he had wroughtH7760 his signsH226 in EgyptH4714, and his wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814: {wrought: Heb. set}
And had turnedH2015 their riversH2975 into bloodH1818; and their floodsH5140, that they could not drinkH8354.
He sentH7971 divers sorts of fliesH6157 among them, which devouredH398 them; and frogsH6854, which destroyedH7843 them.
He gaveH5414 also their increaseH2981 unto the caterpillerH2625, and their labourH3018 unto the locustH697.
He destroyedH2026 their vinesH1612 with hailH1259, and their sycomore treesH8256 with frostH2602. {destroyed: Heb. killed} {frost: or, great hailstones}
He gave upH5462 their cattleH1165 also to the hailH1259, and their flocksH4735 to hot thunderboltsH7565. {gave…: Heb. shut up} {hot…: or, lightnings}
He castH7971 upon them the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, wrathH5678, and indignationH2195, and troubleH6869, by sendingH4917 evilH7451 angelsH4397 among them.
He madeH6424 a wayH5410 to his angerH639; he sparedH2820 not their soulH5315 from deathH4194, but gaveH5462 their lifeH2416 overH5462 to the pestilenceH1698; {He made…: Heb. He weighed a path} {life…: or, beasts to the murrain}
And smoteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in EgyptH4714; the chiefH7225 of their strengthH202 in the tabernaclesH168 of HamH2526:
But made his own peopleH5971 to go forthH5265 like sheepH6629, and guidedH5090 them in the wildernessH4057 like a flockH5739.
And he ledH5148 them on safelyH983, so that they fearedH6342 not: but the seaH3220 overwhelmedH3680 their enemiesH341. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
And he broughtH935 them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuaryH6944, even to this mountainH2022, which his right handH3225 had purchasedH7069.
He cast outH1644 the heathenH1471 also beforeH6440 them, and dividedH5307 them an inheritanceH5159 by lineH2256, and made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931 in their tentsH168.
Yet they temptedH5254 and provokedH4784 the most highH5945 GodH430, and keptH8104 not his testimoniesH5713:
But turned backH5472, and dealt unfaithfullyH898 like their fathersH1: they were turned asideH2015 like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198.
For they provoked him to angerH3707 with their high placesH1116, and moved him to jealousyH7065 with their graven imagesH6456.
When GodH430 heardH8085 this, he was wrothH5674, and greatlyH3966 abhorredH3988 IsraelH3478:
So that he forsookH5203 the tabernacleH4908 of ShilohH7887, the tentH168 which he placedH7931 among menH120;
And deliveredH5414 his strengthH5797 into captivityH7628, and his gloryH8597 into the enemy'sH6862 handH3027.
He gaveH5462 his peopleH5971 overH5462 also unto the swordH2719; and was wrothH5674 with his inheritanceH5159.
The fireH784 consumedH398 their young menH970; and their maidensH1330 were not given to marriageH1984. {given…: Heb. praised}
Their priestsH3548 fellH5307 by the swordH2719; and their widowsH490 made no lamentationH1058.
Then the LordH136 awakedH3364 as one out of sleepH3463, and like a mighty manH1368 that shoutethH7442 by reason of wineH3196.
And he smoteH5221 his enemiesH6862 in the hinder partsH268: he putH5414 them to a perpetualH5769 reproachH2781.
Moreover he refusedH3988 the tabernacleH168 of JosephH3130, and choseH977 not the tribeH7626 of EphraimH669:
But choseH977 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063, the mountH2022 ZionH6726 which he lovedH157.
And he builtH1129 his sanctuaryH4720 like highH7311 palaces, like the earthH776 which he hath establishedH3245 for everH5769. {established: Heb. founded}
He choseH977 DavidH1732 also his servantH5650, and tookH3947 him from the sheepfoldsH4356+H6629:
From followingH310 the ewes great with youngH5763 he broughtH935 him to feedH7462 JacobH3290 his peopleH5971, and IsraelH3478 his inheritanceH5159. {following: Heb. after}
So he fedH7462 them according to the integrityH8537 of his heartH3824; and guidedH5148 them by the skilfulnessH8394 of his handsH3709.
TellH5046 ye, and bring them nearH5066; yea, let them take counselH3289 togetherH3162: who hath declaredH8085 this from ancient timeH6924? who hath toldH5046 it from that time? have not I the LORDH3068? and there is no GodH430 else besideH1107 me; a justH6662 GodH410 and a SaviourH3467; there is noneH369 besideH2108 me.
O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; callH7121 upon his nameH8034: make knownH3045 his deedsH5949 among the peopleH5971.
SingH7891 unto him, sing psalmsH2167 unto him: talkH7878 ye of all his wondrous worksH6381.
GloryH1984 ye in his holyH6944 nameH8034: let the heartH3820 of them rejoiceH8055 that seekH1245 the LORDH3068.
SeekH1875 the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5797: seekH1245 his faceH6440 evermoreH8548.
RememberH2142 his marvellous worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213; his wondersH4159, and the judgmentsH4941 of his mouthH6310;
O ye seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 his servantH5650, ye childrenH1121 of JacobH3290 his chosenH972.
He is the LORDH3068 our GodH430: his judgmentsH4941 are in all the earthH776.
He hath rememberedH2142 his covenantH1285 for everH5769, the wordH1697 which he commandedH6680 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755.
Which covenant he madeH3772 with AbrahamH85, and his oathH7621 unto IsaacH3446;
And confirmedH5975 the same unto JacobH3290 for a lawH2706, and to IsraelH3478 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285:
SayingH559, Unto thee will I giveH5414 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the lotH2256 of your inheritanceH5159: {lot: Heb. cord}
When they were but a few menH4962 in numberH4557; yea, very fewH4592, and strangersH1481 in it.
When they wentH1980 from one nationH1471 to another, from one kingdomH4467 to anotherH312 peopleH5971;
He sufferedH3240 no manH120 to do them wrongH6231: yea, he reprovedH3198 kingsH4428 for their sakes;
Saying, TouchH5060 not mine anointedH4899, and do my prophetsH5030 no harmH7489.
Moreover he calledH7121 for a famineH7458 upon the landH776: he brakeH7665 the whole staffH4294 of breadH3899.
He sentH7971 a manH376 beforeH6440 them, even JosephH3130, who was soldH4376 for a servantH5650:
Whose feetH7272 they hurtH6031 with fettersH3525: heH5315 was laidH935 in ironH1270: {he…: Heb. his soul came into iron}
Until the timeH6256 that his wordH1697 cameH935: the wordH565 of the LORDH3068 triedH6884 him.
The kingH4428 sentH7971 and loosedH5425 him; even the rulerH4910 of the peopleH5971, and let him go freeH6605.
He madeH7760 him lordH113 of his houseH1004, and rulerH4910 of all his substanceH7075: {substance: Heb. possession}
To bindH631 his princesH8269 at his pleasureH5315; and teach his senatorsH2205 wisdomH2449.
IsraelH3478 also cameH935 into EgyptH4714; and JacobH3290 sojournedH1481 in the landH776 of HamH2526.
And he increasedH6509 his peopleH5971 greatlyH3966; and made them strongerH6105 than their enemiesH6862.
He turnedH2015 their heartH3820 to hateH8130 his peopleH5971, to deal subtillyH5230 with his servantsH5650.
He sentH7971 MosesH4872 his servantH5650; and AaronH175 whom he had chosenH977.
They shewedH7760 his signsH226+H1697 among them, and wondersH4159 in the landH776 of HamH2526. {his…: Heb. words of his signs}
He sentH7971 darknessH2822, and made it darkH2821; and they rebelledH4784 not against his wordH1697.
He turnedH2015 their watersH4325 into bloodH1818, and slewH4191 their fishH1710.
Their landH776 brought forthH8317 frogsH6854 in abundanceH8317, in the chambersH2315 of their kingsH4428.
He spakeH559, and there cameH935 divers sorts of fliesH6157, and liceH3654 in all their coastsH1366.
He gaveH5414 them hailH1259 for rainH1653, and flamingH3852 fireH784 in their landH776. {them…: Heb. their rain hail}
He smoteH5221 their vinesH1612 also and their fig treesH8384; and brakeH7665 the treesH6086 of their coastsH1366.
He spakeH559, and the locustsH697 cameH935, and caterpillersH3218, and that without numberH4557,
And did eat upH398 all the herbsH6212 in their landH776, and devouredH398 the fruitH6529 of their groundH127.
He smoteH5221 also all the firstbornH1060 in their landH776, the chiefH7225 of all their strengthH202.
He brought them forthH3318 also with silverH3701 and goldH2091: and there was not one feebleH3782 person among their tribesH7626.
EgyptH4714 was gladH8055 when they departedH3318: for the fearH6343 of them fellH5307 upon them.
He spreadH6566 a cloudH6051 for a coveringH4539; and fireH784 to give lightH215 in the nightH3915.
The people askedH7592, and he broughtH935 quailsH7958, and satisfiedH7646 them with the breadH3899 of heavenH8064.
He openedH6605 the rockH6697, and the watersH4325 gushed outH2100; they ranH1980 in the dry placesH6723 like a riverH5104.
For he rememberedH2142 his holyH6944 promiseH1697, and AbrahamH85 his servantH5650.
And he brought forthH3318 his peopleH5971 with joyH8342, and his chosenH972 with gladnessH7440: {gladness: Heb. singing}
And gaveH5414 them the landsH776 of the heathenH1471: and they inheritedH3423 the labourH5999 of the peopleH3816;
That they might observeH8104 his statutesH2706, and keepH5341 his lawsH8451. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
LookH6437 unto me, and be ye savedH3467, all the endsH657 of the earthH776: for I am GodH410, and there is none else.
He hath madeH6213 his wonderful worksH6381 to be rememberedH2143: the LORDH3068 is graciousH2587 and full of compassionH7349.
Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that they shall no more sayH559, The LORDH3068 livethH2416, which brought upH5927 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714;
But, The LORDH3068 livethH2416, which brought upH5927 and which ledH935 the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 out of the northH6828 countryH776, and from all countriesH776 whither I had drivenH5080 them; and they shall dwellH3427 in their own landH127.
Neither have we hearkenedH8085 unto thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, which spakeH1696 in thy nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, and our fathersH1, and to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
O LordH136, righteousnessH6666 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusionH1322 of facesH6440, as at this dayH3117; to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and unto all IsraelH3478, that are nearH7138, and that are far offH7350, through all the countriesH776 whither thou hast drivenH5080 them, because of their trespassH4604 that they have trespassedH4603 against thee. {belongeth…: or, thou hast}
O LORDH3068, to us belongeth confusionH1322 of faceH6440, to our kingsH4428, to our princesH8269, and to our fathersH1, because we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
To the LordH136 our GodH430 belong merciesH7356 and forgivenessesH5547, though we have rebelledH4775 against him;
Neither have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to walkH3212 in his lawsH8451, which he setH5414 beforeH6440 us byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
Yea, all IsraelH3478 have transgressedH5674 thy lawH8451, even by departingH5493, that they might not obeyH8085 thy voiceH6963; therefore the curseH423 is pouredH5413 upon us, and the oathH7621 that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, because we have sinnedH2398 against him.
And he hath confirmedH6965 his wordsH1697, which he spakeH1696 against us, and against our judgesH8199 that judgedH8199 us, by bringingH935 upon us a greatH1419 evilH7451: for under the whole heavenH8064 hath not been doneH6213 as hath been doneH6213 upon JerusalemH3389.
As it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, all this evilH7451 is comeH935 upon us: yet made we not our prayerH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, that we might turnH7725 from our iniquitiesH5771, and understandH7919 thy truthH571. {made…: Heb. intreated we not the face of the, etc}
Therefore hath the LORDH3068 watchedH8245 upon the evilH7451, and broughtH935 it upon us: for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is righteousH6662 in all his worksH4639 which he doethH6213: for we obeyedH8085 not his voiceH6963.
And now, O LordH136 our GodH430, that hast broughtH3318 thy peopleH5971 forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and hast gottenH6213 thee renownH8034, as at this dayH3117; we have sinnedH2398, we have done wickedlyH7561. {gotten…: Heb. made thee a name}
