6 From burden, and from flavish toil

I fet his shoulder free:

His hands from pots, and miry foil,

Deliver'd were by me.

When trouble did thee fore afsail,

25

On me then didst thou call,

And I to free thee did not fail,

And led thee out of thrall.

I answer'd thee in thunder deep Be Sether ragnam. With clouds incompass'd round;

I try'd thee at the water fleep

Of Meriba renown'd.

8 Hear, O my People, hearken well,

I teftify to thee,

Thou ancient flock of Ifrael,

If thou wilt lift to me,

9 Throughout the land of thy abode

No alien God fhall be,

Nor fhalt thou to a foreign God

In honor bend thy knee.

And to their wand'ring mind; Their own conceits they follow'd still, Their own devices blind.

13 O that my people would be wife,

To ferve me all their days,

And O that Ifrael would advise

To walk my righteous ways.

14 Then would I foon bring down their foes,

That now fo proudly rife,

And turn my hand against all thofe

16 And he would feed them from the fhock

With flow'r of finest wheat,

And fatisfy them from the rock

With honey for their meat.
