Therefore his people turne hither: for waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. God is knowen in Iudah: his Name is great in Israel.

For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.

Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? doeth his promes faile for euermore?

Hath God forgotten to be mercifull? hath he shut vp his teder mercies in displeasure? Selah.

Wee will not hide them from their children but to the generation to come we wil shewe the praises of the Lord his power also, & his wonderful woorkes that he hath done:

That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the workes of God but keepe his commandements:

They kept not the couenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,

And forgate his Actes, and his wonderfull woorkes that he had shewed them.

Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?

Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.

He caused the Eastwinde to passe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde.

For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.

For their heart was not vpright with him: neither were they faithfull in his couenant.

Yet he being merciful forgaue their iniquitie, & destroied them not, but oft times called backe his anger, & did not stirre vp all his wrath.

They remebred not his hand, nor the day when he deliuered them from the enemie,

Nor him that set his signes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan,

Hee cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of euill Angels.

He made a way to his anger: he spared not their soule from death, but gaue their life to the pestilence,

But hee made his people to goe out like sheepe, & led them in the wildernes like a flocke.
