PSAL. LXXVIII.
Attend, my people, to my Law,
thereto give thou an ear:
The words that frō my mouth proceed
attentively do hear
My mouth shal speak a parable,
and sayings dark of old:
The same which we have heard, & known
and us our fathers told.

The words that frō my mouth proceed

My mouth shal speak a parable,
and sayings dark of old:
The same which we have heard, & known
and us our fathers told.
We also wil them not conceal
from their posteritie:
Them to the generation
to come declare wil we:
The praises of the Lord our God,
and his Almighty strength,
The wondrōs works that he hath done
we wil shew forth at length.

Them to the generation

The praises of the Lord our God,
and his Almighty strength,
The wondrōs works that he hath done

His testimony and his law
in Israel he did place,
And charg'd our fathers, it to show
to their succeeding race.
That so the race which was to come,
might wel them learn and know;
And sons unborn, who should arise,
might to their sons them show:

That so the race which was to come,
might wel them learn and know;
And sons unborn, who should arise,

That they might set their hope in God,
and suffer not to fal
His mighty works out of their minde
but keep His precepts all.
And might not, like their fathers, be
a stiff rebellious race,
A race not right in heart; with God
whose spirit not stedfast was.

And might not, like their fathers, be

A race not right in heart; with God

The sons of Ephraim, who nor bows
nor other arms did lack,
When as the day, of battell was
they faintly turned back.
They brake Gods covenant & refus'd
in His Commands to go.
His works & wonders they forgot,
which he to them did show.

Things marvellous he brought to passe,
their fathers them beheld,
Within the land of Ægypt done,
yea ev'n in Zoans field.
By him divided was the sea,
He caus'd them through to passe;
And He the water mode to stand,
that like an heap it was.

By him divided was the sea,
He caus'd them through to passe;
And He the water mode to stand,

With cloud by day, wth light of fire
all night he did them guide.
In desert rocks he clave, and drink
as from great depths suppli'd.
He from the rock brought streams, like flouds
made waters to run down.
Yet sinning more, in desert they
provok'd the Highest One.

In desert rocks he clave, and drink

He from the rock brought streams, like flouds

Yet sinning more, in desert they

For, in their heart they tempted God
and speaking with mistrust,
They greedily did meat require
to satisfie their lust.
Against the Lord himself they spake
and murmuring said thus,
A table in the wildernesse
can God prepare for us?

Behold, He smote the rock, & thence
came streams and waters great;
But can he give his people bread?
and send them flesh to eat?
The Lord did hear, & waxed wroth
so kindled was a flame
'Gainst Jacob; and 'gainst Israel
up in indignation came:

But can he give his people bread?

The Lord did hear, & waxed wroth

For they believ'd not God, nor trust
in his salvation had:
Though flouds above he did command,
and heav'ns doors open made;
And Manna rain'd on them, and gave
them corn of heav'n to eat.
Man Angels food did eat, to them

Man Angels food did eat, to them

And in the heaven He did cause
an Eastern winde to blow;
And by his power he let out
the Southern winde to go.
Then flesh, as thick as dust, he made
to rain down them among;
And feathered fowls, like as the sand
which ly'th the shore along.

At his command amidst their camp
these showres of flesh down fell,
All round about the tabernacles
and tents where they did dwell.
So did they eat abundantly,
and had of meat their fill;
For he did give to them what was
their own desire and will.

Yet not withstanding of all this,
they sinned still the more;
And, thogh he had great wonders wrought
believed him not therefore.
Wherefore their dayes in vanity
he did consume and wast,
And by his wrath their wretched years
away in trouble past.

But when he slew them, then they did

Yea, they return'd, and after God

And that the Lord had been their Rock
they did remember then:
Ev'n that the high Almighty God

Unstedfast and perfidious

But full of pity, he forgave

For that they were but fading flesh
to minde he did recall;
A winde that passeth soon away,

And in the desert did him grieve

Yea, turning back they tempted God
and limits set upon
Him who in midst of Israel is

They did not cal to minde his pow'r

Delivered them out of the hand
of their fierce enemie.
Nor how great signs in Ægyptland
He openly had wrought,
What miracles in Zoans field
his hand to passe had brought.

How lakes and rivers every where

So that nor man, nor beast could drink

He brought among them swarms of flies
which did them sore annoy;
And diverse kindes of filthy frogs
He sent, them to destroy.

He to the catterpiller gave
the fruits of all their soil:
Their labours he deliver'd up

Their vines wth hail, their sycomors
he with the frost did blast.
Their beasts to hail he gave, their flocks
hot thunder-bolts did wast.

Fierce burning wrath he on them cast

In Ægypt Land the first-born all
he smote down every where;
Amongst the tents of Ham, ev'n these
chief of their strength that were.
But his own people like to sheep
thence to go forth he made;
And he amidst the wildernesse
them, as a flock, did lead.

Which for inheritance to them

And made the tribes of Israel
