CVI. 39.

39 Thus were_they_defiled with their_ own works, And .went_a_whoring with their_ own_do inventions. 40 Therefore was the_wrath_of the Lorp kindled against His -people, Insomuch that He abhorred His_ own ‘inheritance. 41 And He gave them into the_hand_ of the »=heathen ; And they_that_hated them ruled_ over them. 42 Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were_brought_into_sub- jection under their hand. 43 Many times 'did_He_deliver them ; But thep provoked Him with their xcounsel, And were_brought_low for their xiniquity.
O_-GIVE_thanks unto ‘the Lorp, for He 7s good : For His ‘mercy endureth for ever. 2'Let the_redeemed_of ‘the Lorp say so, Whom He hath redeemed from the_hand_of the « enemy; 8 And gathered them out of the lands, From the east, and from the west. From the north, and from the south. 4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way ; They found no city oto_dwell_in. 5 Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them. 6 Then they cried unto ! the Lorp in their xtrouble, And He ‘delivered them out_of their distresses. 7 And He led_them_forth by the right way, That they might_go to a city_of habitation. 8 Oh_that men 'would_praise ! the Lorp for His ! goodness, And for His wonderful_works to the_s children_of « men. 9 For He ssatisfieth the longing soul, And -filleth the hungry soul with goodness. 10 Such_as sit in darkness and in the_ shadow_of_death, Being bound in affliction and iron ; 11 Because they rebelled_against the_ sa words_of e~ God, And ¢dcontemned the_counsel_of the Most_High : 12 Therefore He brought_down their heart with labour ; They stfell.down, and there was none to_help.
13 Then they cried unto J the Lorp in their «trouble, And He tsaved them out_of their distresses. 14 He tbrought them out_of darkness and the_shadow_of_death, And brake their bands in_sunder.
15 Oh_that men 'would_praise / the Lorp for His ! goodness,
Psatm CVII. 30,
44 Nevertheless He regarded their xaffliction,
When He heard their -ery :
45 And He remembered for them His covenant, :
And repented according_to the_ multitude_of His / mercies.
46 He made them also to be_pitied
be Of all sthose_that_carried_them_ captives.
47 “Save us, O_! Lorp our =God,
And -gather us from_among the n=heathen
Togive_thanks unto Thy holy name,
And to oe in Thy praise.
48 Blessed be J the Lord =God_of Is- raél from xeverlasting to xever- lasting: ~
And +let all the -people say, Amen. h Praise ye "h the Lorp.
