1I8 25 Man did eat the bread of the 'nighties bee z6 fent them mear to fatietie. Hee made an Eat' -wind to paffe forth in the heavens, and brought 'on a South -wind by his ftrength. 27 And rained flefl upon them as duft;and fea- 28 thered fowle, as the fand of the feas, And made it fall in the midi' of his campe,round 29 about his dwelling places. And they did eat and were filled vehemently, and their de- '3o fire he brought unto them. They were not efirarged from their delire , their meat wini 31 yet in their mouth. When the anger of God came up againft them, and flew of the fat of them, and fmote downe the ehoife yong 3 z men of Ifrael. For all this they finned yet, land beleeved not for his marvellous worker. 33 And he confumed their daics in vanitie, and 34' their yeeres in hafly terrour. When he flew them, then they fought him, and returned, 35 and fought Gedearly.And remembred that God was their Rocke, and the molt high 36 God, their Redeemer. But they flattering- ly allured him with their mouth, and with. 37' their tongue they lied to him.For their heart was not firmly prepared with him, neither 38 were they faithfull in his covenant. And he being compaffionate, mercifully covered in- iquirie, and corrupted not, but multiplied to turne away his anger ,and did not flit up all 39. his wrathfull hear. For hee remembred that (they were flefh, a wind that goeth and fhall not returne. How oft did theybitterly pro- voke him in the wildernef%,grieve him in 41 the defart ! For they returned and tempted God, and limited the holy one of Ifrael 42 They remembred not his hand,nor the day in which he had redeemed'them from the 43 diflreffer. When he put his fgnes in Egypt, 44 and his wonders in the field of Tfoan. And turned their rivers into bloud, and their 45 flrea`mes, that they could not drinke. Hee Pent among them a mixed fwarme which did eat them, and the frog which corrupted them. And he gave their fruit to the cater - 47 piller,and their labour to the loculi. He kil- led their vine with baile, and their wild úg- 48 trees with the blafling haileftone. And hee Phut up their cattell to the baile, and their 49 flockes of cattell to the lightnings. Hee fent among them the burning of his anger, exceeding wrath, and indignation, and di- firefs, ky the fending of the meffengersofe- 5 o vils. He weighed out a path to his anger, he withheld not their foule from death,& their 5 r wilde beat' he fhut up to the peftìlence. A tic! Emote all the firfi -born in Egypt, the begin- PSALD4E LKXVIII. 40 46 ping of ftrengths in the tents of Cham. And he made his people paffe thorow as fheepe, and led them onasa flock in the wildernefs. And led them in confident fafety , and they 53' dreaded not , and the fea covered their ene- mies. And he brought them to the border of his holineffe : this mountaine , which his right hand pin-chafed. And he caft out the 55 heathens from their faces, &made them fall in the line ofpoffef(zon, and made the tribes of Ifrael to dwell in their tents. And they tempted & bitterly provoked the molt high God,and kept not his tefiimonies. But tur- 57 ned backeand unfaithfully tranfgreffed like their fathers; they were turned likea warp- ing bow. And provoked him to anger by 58 their high places, and by their graven idols they furred him to jealoufie. God heard, & 59 was exceeding wroth , and vehemently ab- horred Ifrael. And he forfook the dwelling 6o place of Shilo, the tent he had placed for a dwelling among earthly men. And gave his 61 ftrength into captivitie, and his beauteous glory into the hand of the diftref(er. And 6z flint up his people tothe (word, and was ex- ceeding wroth with his inheritance. Tite 6s fire did eat their choice youg men, and their virgins were not praifed.Their Priefts Eel by 64 the fword,and their widows wept not. And 65 the Lord awaked as one out of fleepe , as a mighty one shouting after wine. And (mote 66 his difireflers behinde,he gave them eternal reproch. And he refufed the tent of Jofeph, 67 and 'chofe not the tribe ofs phrajim.Buthe 68 chofe the tribe of Judah, the mount Sion which he loved. And builded his Sanétuary 69 like high places, like the earth which bee founded for ever. And he chofe David his lo fervant,& took him from the folds ofiheep. From after the ewes with yong brought hee 71 him, to feed Jakobhis people, and Ifrael his poffeffion. And he fed them according to 7 the perfe6tion of his heart, and by the dif- cretions of his hands led he them. 52 54 56 Annotations.
