〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 2] Who can expresse, Jehovahs pow'rs:
〈♫〉〈♫〉can all his praise display?
[verse 3] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 O blest are that judgment keep:
〈♫〉〈♫〉that justice doth, alway.
[verse 4] Remember me Jehovah, with
the acceptation
of thy people: and visit me,
with thy salvation.
[verse 5] To see thy chosens good; and with
thy nations joyance
for to rejoyce: to glorie-high
with thine inheritance.
[verse 6] We have with our forefathers doon
erroneous-sinfulnes:
we have doon wrong-iniquitie
we have doon wickednes.
[verse 7] Our fathers in Aegypt, did not
thy marvels wisely-mind:
remembred not the multitude
of those thy mercies-kind:
But, at the sea at the red sea,
was their rebellion-showen.
[verse 8] Yet sav'd he them, for his name sake:
to make his power knowen.
[verse 9] And he rebuked the red sea,
and up the same was dryde:
and them as in the wildernes
he in the deeps did guide.
[verse 10] And from hand of the hateful-foe,
he did them freely-save:
and from the hand of th'enemie,
he them redemption-gave.
[verse 11] And waters their distressers whelmd:
none left was them among.
[verse 12] And they beleeved in his words:
his glorious-prayse they sung.
The second part.
[verse 13] They hastened-incontinent,
his doings they forgot:
for his advising-counsel, they
exspecting-wayted not.

[verse 14] But sore in wildernes did lust:
and God in desert tempt.
[verse 15] He gave them their request: but to
their soul he leannes sent.
[verse 16] And Moses, in the camp; A'ron
Jehovahs holy-man
they envyed. [verse 17] The earth op'ned,
and swallowd-up Dathan:
and on the congregation
of Abiram cov'red.
[verse 18] And fire in their assemblie burnde
the flame burnt the wicked.
[verse 19] They made a calf in Horeb: and
to th'idol bow did they.
[verse 20] And turnd their glorie; to the form
of oxe, that eateth hay.
[verse 21] They forgat, God their saviour: that
in Aegipt did great-acts.
[verse 22] Works-marveilous in land of Cham:
by red sea, feareful-facts.
[verse 23] And he sayd, to destroy them: had
not Moses his chosen,
stood in the breach fore him: to turn
his wrath, from stroying them.
[verse 24] And they contemn'd, the pleasant land:
beleeved not his word.
[verse 25] But murmured within their tents:
heard not voice of the LORD.
[verse 26] And to fell them in wildernes;
he lift to them his hands.
[verse 27] 'Mong heathens eke to fell their seed:
and fan them in the lands.
[verse 28] And to Baal-peor they were joynd:
ate offrings of the dead.
[verse 29] And moved-anger by their acts:
and plague among them spread.
[verse 30] And Phineas stood, and judgment-did:
and plague was causd to stay.
[verse 31] Which counted was to him, justice:
to age and age, for ay.
[verse 32] And at waters of Meribah,
they angred-fervently:
that unto Moses, for their sake
befell-calamitie.

[verse 33] For they provok't his sp'rit: and he
it with his lips ut'red.
[verse 34] The peoples, as the LORD them bade:
they not abolished.
[verse 35] But with the heathens mixt themselves:
and did their doings learn.
[verse 36] And servd their idols: which to them
were, for a snaring-grin.
The third part.
[verse 37] Their sonns and daughters also, they
to Devils offered.
[verse 38] And guiltlesse bloud, bloud of their sonns
and of their daughters shed:
whom to Canaans idols, they
in-sacrifice-offred:
so that the land, with bloudy-gore
was impiously-stayned.
[verse 39] And they themselves defiled by
their operations:
they went a whoring also, by
their wonted-actions.
[verse 40] And 'gainst his people, kindled was
the anger of the LORD:
so that his own-inheritance
he lothsomly-abhorrd.
[verse 41] He gave them into heathens hand:
their haters them ruled.
[verse 42] Their foes opprest them: and they were
under their hand humbled.
[verse 43] He many times, delivered them:
but they moovd-bitterly
by their counsel: and were brought-down
by their iniquitie.
[verse 44] Yet he did see, in their distresse;
when as he heard their cry.
[verse 45] And toward them his covenant
he kept-in-memorie:
and in his mercies multitude,
repented. [verse 46] And did give
them to compassions: before,
all that them led-captive.
[verse 47] Save us, O LORD our God; and us
from heathens jointly-rayse,
for to confesse thine holy name,
to glorie, in thy prayse.
[verse 48] Blest be Jehovah, Isr'els God,
from aye and unto ay;
and let al people say, Amen;
O prayse th'eternal-Jah.
