my heart is vexed, I will complain..

4 Thou holdest mine eyes

4 Thou art of more honour and might than the hills of the robbers.

5 The proud are robbed ; they have slept their sleep; and all the men whose hands were mighty, have found nothing.

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are fallen.

7 Thou, even thou art to be feared and who may stand in thy sight, when thou art angry? 8Thou didst cause thy judgment to-be heard from heaven; the earth trembled, and was still,

9 When God arose to judgment, and to help all the meek upon earth.

5 I have considered the days of old, and the years that are past.

6 I call to remembrance my song, and in the night I com. mune with mine own heart, and search out my spirits.

7 Will the Lord absent himself for ever; and will he be no more entreated?

8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever; and is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore?

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious; and will he shut up his loving kindness in displeasure?

10 And I said, It is mine own infirmity; but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most Highest.

11 Promise unto the Lord your God, and keep it, all ye that are round about him; bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

13 Thy way, O God, is holy: who is so great a God as our God?

14 Thou art the God that doeth wonders, and hast declared thy power among the

I WILL cry unto God with

to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will declare hard sentences of old,

3 Which we have heard and known, and such as our fathers have told us;

4 That we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come; but to show the honour of the Lord, his mighty and wonderful works that he hath done.

5 He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children. 6 That their posterity might know it, and the children which were yet unborn;

7 To the intent that when they came up, they might show their children the same;

8 That they might put their trust in God; and not to forget the works of God, but to keep his commandments;

in the land of Egypt, even in the field of Zoan.

them go through; he made the waters to stand on an heap.

them with a cloud, and all the night through with a light of fire.

15 In the day-time also he led

16 He clave the hard rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of the great depth.

17 He brought waters out of the stony rock, so that it gushed out like the rivers.

18 Yet for all this, they sinned more against him, and provoked the Most Highest in the wilderness.

19 They tempted God in their hearts, and required meat for their lust.

20 They spake against God also, saying, Shall God prepare a table in the wilderness?

21 He smote the stony rock indeed, that the water gushed out, and the streams flowed withal; but can he give bread also, or provide flesh for his people?

22 When the Lord heard this, he was wroth; so the fire was kindled in Jacob, and there came up heavy displeasure against Israel;

25 He rained down manna also upon them for to eat, and gave them food from heaven. 26 So man did eat angel's food; for he sent them meat enough.

27 He caused the east wind to blow under heaven; and through his power he brought in the southwest wind.

28 He rained flesh upon them as thick as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea. 29 He let it fall among their tents, even round about their babitation.

30 So they did eat and were well filled; for he gave them their own desire: they were not disappointed of their lust.

31 But while the meat was yet in their mouths, the heavy wrath of God came upon them, and slew the wealthiest of them; yea, and smote down the chosen men that were in Israel.

32 But for all this, they sinned yet more, and believed not his wondrous works.

33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

34 When he slew them, they sought him, and turned them early, and inquired after God.

35 And they remembered that God was their strength, and that the high God was their Redeemer.

36 Nevertheless, they did but flatter him with their mouth, and dissembled with him in their tongue.

40 For he considered that they were but flesh, and that they were even a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

41 Many a time did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert.

42 They turned back, and tempted God; and moved the Holy One in Israel.

43 They thought not of his hand, and of the day when he delivered them from the hand of the enemy.

44 How he had wrought his miracles in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan.

45 He turned their waters into blood, so that they might not drink of the rivers.

46 He sent lice among them, and devoured them up, and frogs to destroy them.

47 He gave their fruit unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the grasshopper.

48 He destroyed their vines with hail-stones, and their mulberry trees with the frost.

49 He smote their cattle also with bail-stones, and their flocks with hot thunder-bolts.

50 He cast upon them the furiousness of his wrath, anger, displeasure, and trouble; and sent evil angels among them.

51 He made a way to his indignation, and spared not their soul from death: but gave their life over to the pestilence;

52 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the most principal and mightiest in the dwell

53 But as for his own people, he led them forth like sheep, and carried them in the wilderness like a flock.
