^{32 Ref} For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works.

^{33 Ref} Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in terror.

^{34 Ref} When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly.

^{35 Ref} And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer.

^{36 Ref} But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue.

^{37 Ref} For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant.

^{38 Ref} But he, being merciful, forgave `their' iniquity, and destroyed `them' not: Yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath.

^{39 Ref} And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

^{40 Ref} How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!

^{41 Ref} And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.

^{42 Ref} They remember not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

^{43 Ref} How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,

^{44 Ref} And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.

^{45 Ref} He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them.

^{46 Ref} He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust.

^{47 Ref} He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost.

^{48 Ref} He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

^{49 Ref} He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, A band of angels of evil.

^{50 Ref} He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence,

^{51 Ref} And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

^{52 Ref} But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

^{53 Ref} And he led them safely, so that they feared not; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

^{54 Ref} And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.

^{55 Ref} He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
