[verse 50] Then to his wrath he made a way, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
and spared not the least: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
But gave unto the pestilence 〈♫〉〈♫〉
the man and eke the beast. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 51] He struck al∣so the first-born all, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
that up in Egypt came: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
And all the chief of men and beasts 〈♫〉〈♫〉
within the tents of Ham. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 52] But as for all his own dear folk, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
he did preserve and keep: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
And carried them through wilderness, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
ev'n like a flock of sheep. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 53] With∣out all fear both safe and sound 〈♫〉〈♫〉
he brought them out of thrall: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Whereas their foes with rage of seas 〈♫〉〈♫〉
were overwhelmed all. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 54] And brought them out into the coast 〈♫〉〈♫〉
of his own holy land: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Ev'n to the mount which he had got 〈♫〉〈♫〉
by his strong arm and hand. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 55] And there cast out the heathen folk, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
and did their land divide: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
And in their tents he set the tribes 〈♫〉〈♫〉
of Israel to abide. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 56] Yet for all this their God most high 〈♫〉〈♫〉
they stirr'd and tempted still: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
And would not keep his testament, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
nor yet obey his will. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 57] But as their fathers turned back, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
ev'en so they went astray: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Much like a bow that would not bend, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
but slip and start away. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
