               with mine owne heart, and my spirit searched shooting with the bowe, turned backe in the day
               diligently.  7  Will the Lord absent him selfe for of battell.  10 They kept not the couenant of God,

               euer? and will he shewe no more fauour? Is his but refused to walke in his Lawe,    11 And forgate
               mercie cleane gone for euer? doeth his promise    his Actes, and his wonderfull woorkes that he had
               faile for euermore?  9  Hath God forgotten to be shewed them.    12  Hee did marueilous thinges in
               mercifull? hath he shut vp his teder mercies the sight of their fathers in the lande of Egypt:

               my death: yet I remembred the yeeres of the       and led them through: he made also the waters to
               right hand of the most High.  11 I remembred the  stand as an heape.  14 In the day time also hee led
               workes of the Lord: certainely I remembred thy    them with a cloude, and all the night with a light
               wonders of olde.   12  I did also meditate all thy  of fire.  15  He claue the rockes in the wildernes,
               woorkes, and did deuise of thine actes, saying,   andgauethemdrinkeasofthegreatdepths.       16 He
               13  Thy way, O God, is in the Sanctuarie: who     brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so
               is so great a God as our God!    14  Thou art ye  that hee made the waters to descend like the

               God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy    riuers.   Yet they sinned stil against him, and

               thy people with thine arme, euen the sonnes of    tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate
                                                                                 19

               thee, O God: the waters sawe thee, and were       saying, Can God prepare a table in the wilder-
               afraide: yea, the depths trembled.  17 The cloudes  nesse?  20  Behold, he smote the rocke, that the

               powred out water: the heauens gaue a sounde:      can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for

               of thy thunder was rounde about: the lightnings   was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob,
               lightened the worlde: the earth trembled and      and also wrath came vpon Israel,  22 Because they
               shooke.  19  Thy way is in the Sea, and thy paths
               in the great waters, and thy footesteps are not   beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.

               sheepe by the hand of Moses and Aaron.            rained downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and
