God

But lusted with concupiscence in the wildernes, and tempted God in the desert.

Then he gaue them their desire: but he sent leannesse into their soule.

They enuied Moses also in the tentes, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

They forgate God their Sauiour, which had done great things in Egypt,

Therefore he minded to destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stand in the breach before him to turne away his wrath, least he shoulde destroy them.

Also they contemned that pleasant land, and beleeued not his worde,

But murmured in their tentes, and hearkened not vnto the voice of the Lord.

Therefore hee lifted vp his hande against them, to destroy them in the wildernesse,

Thus they prouoked him vnto anger with their owne inuentions, and the plague brake in vpon them.

They angred him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was punished for their sakes,

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for euer and euer, and let all the people say, So be it. Praise yee the Lord.

Praise the Lord, because he is good: for his mercie endureth for euer.

Let them, which haue bene redeemed of the Lord, shewe how he hath deliuered them from the hand of the oppressour,

Then they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuered them from their distresse,

And led them forth by the right way, that they might goe to a citie of habitation.

Let them therefore confesse before ye Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderfull woorkes before the sonnes of men.

For he satisfied the thirstie soule, and filled the hungrie soule with goodnesse.

Because they rebelled against the wordes of the Lord, and despised the counsell of the most High,
