11 They kept not che covenant of God, and would not walk in his law; 12 But forgat what he had done, and the wonderful works that he had showed for them.

13 Marvellous things did he in the sight of our forefathers, in the land of Egypt, even in the field of Zoan.

14 He divided the sea, and let them go through; he made the waters to stand on an heap.

15 In the day time also he led them with a cloud, and all the night| through with a light of fire.

16 He clave the hard rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of the great depth.

17 He brought waters out of the stony rock, so that it gushed out like the rivers.

18 Yet for all this, they sinned more against him, and provoked the Most Highest in the wilderness

27 He caused the east wind to blow under heaven; and through his power he brought in the southwest wind.

28 He rained flesh upon them as thick as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.

29 He let it fall among their tents, even round about their habitation.

30 So they did eat and were well filled; for he gave them their own desire: they were not disappointed of their lust.

31 But while the meat, was yet in their mouths, the heavy wrath of God came upon them, and slew the wealthiest of them; yea, and smote down the chosen men that were in Israel.

32 But for all this, they sinned yet more, and believed not his wondrous works.

Psalm 82. Deus stetit.

GOD standeth in the conquere tion of princes, he is a Judge among gods.

2 flow long will ye give wrong Judgment, and accept the persons of the ungodly?

3 Defend the poor and fatherless; see that such as are in need and necessity have right.

4 Deliver the out-cast and poor; save them from the hand of the ungodly.

5 They will not be learned, nor understand, but walk on still in darkness: all the foundations of the

earth are out of course.

6 I have said, Ye are gods, and ye are all the children of the Most Highest;
