: vering 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 ftone, 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 hea then and they took the labours of the people in poffeffion; : 44 That they might keep his ftatutes : and obferve his laws. Evening Prayer. PSALM cvi. Confitemini Domino. Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious and his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Who can exprefs the noble acts of the Lord or fhew forth all his praife? 3 Bleffed are they that alway keep judgement and do righteousness. 4 Remember me, O Lord, according to the favour that thou beareft unto thy people: O vifit me with thy falvation ; 5 That I may fee the felicity of thy chofen : : chosen 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 difobedient at the fea, even the Red fea. 8 Nevertheless, he helped them for his Name's fake that he might make his power to be known. 9 He rebuked the Red fea alfo, and it was dried up: fo he led them through the deep, as through a wilderness. 10 And he faved them from the adver fary's hand and delivered them from the hand of the enemy. : II As for those that troubled them, the waters overwhelmed them there was not one of them left. 12 Then believed they his words : and fang praise unto him. 13 But within a while they forgat his works and would not abide his counfel. : 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. G g 3 16 They 16 They angered 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 Wondrous works in the land of Ham: and fearful things by the Red fea. 23 So he faid, he would have destroyed them, had not Mofes his chofen ftood before him in the gap: to turn away his wrathful indignation, left he fhould deftroy 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. 26 Then lift he up his hand against them: to overthrow them in the wildernefs; 27 To caft out their feed among the nations and to fcatter them in the lands. 28. They 28 They joined themselves unto Baalpeor 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 ftood up Phinces and prayed: and fo the plague ceased. 31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness among all pofterities for evermore. 32 They angered him alfo at the waters of ftrife so that he punished Moses for their fakes; 33 Because they provoked his spirit so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. 34 Neither destroyed they the heathen: as the Lord commanded them; 35 But were mingled among the heathen and learned their works. : 36 Infomuch that they worshipped 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 Canaan; and the land was defiled with blood. 38 Thus were they ftained with their own works and went a whoring with their own inventions. Gg 4 39 Therefore 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 wickednefs. 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 boast of thy praise. 46 Bleffed be the Lord God of Ifrael from everlafting, and world without end ; and let all the people fay, Amen.
