give the land of Canaan : the lot of your inheritance.

12 When there were yet but a few of them: and they ftrangers in the land;

13 What time as they went from one nation to another: from one kingdom to another people;

14 He fuffered no man to do them wrong: but reproved even kings for their fakes.

15 Touch not mine Anointed: and do my prophets no harm.

16 Moreover, he called for a dearth upon the land: and destroyed all the provifion of bread.

17 But he had fent a man before them: even Jofeph, who was fold to be a bond-fervant;

18 Whose feet they hurt in the stocks: the iron entered into his foul;

19 Until the time came that his cause was known: the word of the Lord tried him.

20 The king fent, and delivered him: the prince of the people let him go free.

21 He made him lord alfo of his house and ruler of all his fubftance;

22 That he might inform his princes after his will: and teach his fenators wisdom.

23 Ifrael also came into Egypt: and Jacob was a ftranger in the land of Ham.

24 And he increased his people exceedingly: and made them ftronger than their enemies;

25 Whose heart turned so, that they hated his people: and dealt untruly with his fervants.

26 Then fent he Mofes his fervant and Aaron, whom he had chofen.

27 And these fhewed his tokens among them: and wonders in the land of Ham.

28 He fent darkness, and it was dark and they were not obedient unto his word.

29 He turned their waters into blood: and flew their fish.

30 Their land brought forth frogs: yea, even in their kings chambers.

31 He fpake the word, and there came all manner of flies: and lice in all their quarters.

32 He gave them hailstones for rain: and flames of fire in their land.

33 He fmote their vines alfo and fig-trees: and deftroyedthe trees that were in their coafts.

34 He fpake the word, and the grafhoppers came, and caterpillars innumerable: and did eat up all the grafs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

35 He fmote all the firstborn in their land even the chief of all their strength.

36 He brought them forth alfo

also with filver and gold: there was not one feeble perfon among their tribes. 37 Egypt was glad at their departing for they were afraid of them.

38 He fpread out a cloud to be a covering and fire to give light in the night-feafon. 39 At their defire he brought quails: and he filled them with the bread of heaven.

40 He opened the rock of stone, and the waters flowed out: fo that rivers ran in the dry places.

41 For why? he remembered his holy promife: and Abraham his fervant.

42 And he brought forth his people with joy and his chofen with gladness;

43 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they took the labours of the people in poffeffion;

44 That they might keep his ftatutes: and obferve his laws.

4 Remember me, O Lord, according to the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O vifit me with thy falvation.

5 That I may fee the felicity of thy chofen: and rejoice in the gladness of thy people, and give thanks with thine inheritance.

6 We have finned with our fathers: we have done amifs, and dealt wickedly.

7 Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypt, neither kept they thy great goodness in remembrance: but were disobedient at the sea, even at the Red fea.

8 Nevertheless, he helped them for his Names fake: that he might make his power to

be known.

2 Who can exprefs the noble acts of the Lord: or fhew forth all his praise?

3 Bleffed are they that alway keep judgment: and do righteoufnefs.

14 But

14 But luft came upon them in the wilderness: and they tempted God in the defert. 15 And he gave them their defire and fent leannefs withal into their foul.

16 They angred Mofes alfo in the tents: and Aaron the faint of the Lord.

17 So the earth opened, and fwallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiram.

18 And the fire was kindled

in their company: the flame burnt up the ungodly.

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

20 Thus they turned their glory into the fimilitude of a calf that eateth hay.

21 And they forgat God their Saviour: who had done fo great things in Egypt;

22 Wonderous works in the land of Ham: and fearful things by the Red fea.

23 So he said, he would have destroyed them, had not Mofes

26 Then lift he up his hand against them: to overthrow them in the wilderness;

27 To caft out their feed among the nations: and to fcatter them in the lands.

28 They joined themselves unto Baal-peor and ate the offerings of the dead.

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their own inventions: and the plague was great among them.

30 Then stood up Phinees and prayed: and fo the plague

ceased.

31 Andthatwas counted unto him for righteousness: among all pofterities for evermore.

32 They angred him alfo at the waters of ftrife: fo that he punished Mofes for their fakes;

33 Because they provoked his fpirit: fo that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

34 Neither destroyed they the heathen: as the Lord commanded them;

24 Yea, they thought fcorn of that pleasant land: and gave no credence unto his word.

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

36 Infomuch that they worfhipped their idols, which turned to their own decay: yea, they offered their fons and their daughters unto devils,

37 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their fons and of their daughters: whom they offered unto the idols of

Cas

Canaan, and the land was defiled with blood.

38 Thus were they stained with their own works: and went a whoring with their own inventions.

39 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people: infomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

40 And he gave them over into the hand of the heathen: and they that hated them, were lords over them.

41 Their enemies oppreffed them and had them in fubjection.

42 Many a time did he deliver them but they rebelled against him with their own inventions, and were brought down in their wickedness.

43 Nevertheless, when he faw their adverfity: he heard their complaint.

44 He thought upon his covenant, and pitied them, according unto the multitude of his mercies: yea, he made all those that led them away captive to pity them.

45 Deliver us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen: that we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, and make our boaft of thy praise.

46 Bieffed be the Lord God of Ifrael from everlasting, and world without end: and let all the people fay, Amen.

MORNING PRAYER.

Pfalm 107. Confitemini Domino. Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is graand his mercy en

cious
dureth for ever.

2 Let them give thanks whom the Lord hath redeemed: and delivered from the hand of the enemy;

3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the weft: from the north, and from the south.

4 They went aftray in the wilderness out of the way: and found no city to dwell in;

5 Hungry and thirsty: their foul fainted in them.

6 So they cried unto the Lord in their trouble: and he delivered them from their diftrefs.

7 He led them forth by the right way: that they might go to the city where they dwelt.

8 O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodnefs and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!

9 For he fatisfieth the empty foul: and filleth the hungry foul with goodness;

10 Such as fit in darkness, and in the fhadow of death: being faft bound in mifery and iron.

11 Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord:

and

and lightly regarded the counfel of the most Higheft;

12 He also brought down their heart through heavinefs: they fell down, and there was none to help them.

13 So when they cried unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivered them out of their distress.

14 For he brought them out of darkness, and out of the fhadow of death: and brake their bonds in funder.

15 O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!

16 For he hath broken the gates of brass and fmitten the bars of iron in funder.

17 Foolish men are plagued for their offence: and because of their wickedness.

18 Their foul abhorred all manner of meat: and they were even hard at deaths door.

19 So when they cried unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivered them out of their diftrefs.

20 He fent his word, and healed them: and they were faved from their deftruction.

21 O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!

22 That they would offer unto him the facrifice of thanksgiving: and tell out his works with gladness!

23 They that go down to the fea in fhips: and occupy their business in great waters,

24 These men fee the works of the Lord: and his wonders in the deep.

25 For at his word the ftormy wind arifeth: which lifteth up the waves thereof.

26 They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep: their foul melteth away because of the trouble.

27 They reel to and fro, and ftagger like a drunken man: and are at their wits end.

28 So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivereth them out of their distress.

29 For he maketh the ftorm to cease: fo that the waves thereof are still.

30 Then are they glad, because they are at reft: and fo he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.

31 O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodnefs: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!

32 That they would exalt him alfo in the congregation of the people: and praife him in the feat of the elders!
