]
I answer'd thee in thunder deep
With clouds encompass'd round;
I tri'd thee at the water [steep]
Of Meriba [renown'd.]
8 Hear O my people, [heark'n well,]
I testifie to thee
[Thou antient flock] of Israel,
If thou wilt list to mee,
9 Through out the land of thy abode
No alien God shall be
Nor shalt thou to a forein God
In honour bend thy knee.
10 I am the Lord thy God which brought
Thee out of Aegypt land
Ask large enough, and I, [besought,]
Will grant thy full demand.
11 And yet my people would not [hear,]
[Nor] hearken to my voice;
And Israel [whom I lov'd so dear]
Mislik'd me for his choice.
12 Then did I leave them to their will
And to their wandring mind;
Their own conceits they follow'd still
Their own devises blind.
13 O that my people would [be wise]
[To] serve me [all their daies,]
And O that Israel would [advise]
[To] walk my [righteous] waies.
14 Then would I soon bring down their foes
[That now so proudly rise,]
And turn my hand against [all those]
[That are] their enemies.
