⁶Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.

⁷At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away ⁸(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

⁹Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.

⁶Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

¹⁶The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture, The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; ¹⁷Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

¹⁹He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down.

²⁵Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts.

²⁶There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.

²⁷These wait all for thee, That thou mayest give them their food in due season.

⁶We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

⁷Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

⁶We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

⁷Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

¹⁰And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹³They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,

¹²Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

¹³They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

¹⁴But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.

¹⁸And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

²⁰Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

²¹They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt, ²²Wondrous works in the land of Ham, And terrible things by the Red Sea.

²³Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

²⁰Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

²¹They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

²⁴Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word, ²⁵But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

²⁶Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

²⁴Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

²⁵But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

²⁶Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

²⁷And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

²⁸They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁹Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.

³⁰Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.

²⁷To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

²⁸They joined themselves also unto Baal–peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁹Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

³⁰Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

³¹And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.

³²They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;

³¹And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

³²They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

³³Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

³⁴They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them, ³⁵But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works, ³⁶And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.

³⁷Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons, ³⁸And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

³³Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

³⁴They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

³⁵But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

³⁶And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

³⁷Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

³⁸And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

³⁹Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.

⁴⁰Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.

⁴¹And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.
