Lo! he hath smitten a rock, And waters, have gushed out, Yea, torrents, have rushed along, - Food also, can he give? Or provide flesh for his people?

So they did eat and were abundantly filled, When, what they longed for, he had brought them: -

They had not turned away from what they had longed for, Yet was their food in their mouth,

For all this, sinned they still, And believed not in his wonders;

He leveled a path for his anger, Withheld not, from death, their soul, But, their life - to the pestilence, he delivered:

They have given, The dead bodies of thy servants, As food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of thy men of lovingkindness, Unto the wild beast of the earth:

For he hath devoured Jacob, - And, his dwelling-place, have they laid waste.

Do not remember against us former iniquities, - Haste thee, let thy compassions, come to meet us, For we have been brought very low!

Help us, O God of our salvation, on account of the glory of thy Name, - Rescue us then, and put a propitiatory-covering over our sins, For the sake of thy Name.

Thou dost make us an object of contention to our neighbours, And, our foes, find mockery for themselves.

Yea the stock which thy right hand planted, Even upon the son thou didst secure for thyself.

Let thy hand be, Upon the Man of thy right hand, Upon the Son of Man thou didst secure for thyself;

Shout ye for joy, unto God our strength, Sound the note of triumph, to the God of Jacob;

Blow, at the new moon, the horn, At the full moon, for the day of our sacred festival:

For, a statute to Israel, it is, A regulation, by the God of Jacob;

Arise! O God, judge thou the earth, For, thou, wilt inherit all the nations.

For lo! thine enemies, are tumultuous, And, they who hate thee, have lifted up the head;

For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee - a covenant, would they solemnize -

They perished at En-dor, They become manure for the soil!

My soul, longeth - yea even languisheth - for the courts of Yahweh, - My heart and my flesh, shout aloud for a Living GOD.
