Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

The LORD hath said, "I will bring my people again, as I did from Bashan; mine own will I bring again, as I did sometimes from the deep of the sea,

Those who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head;
Those who would destroy me are powerful, being my enemies wrongfully;
I am forced to restore what I did not steal.

And they said, How did God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?

Did I purify my heart
and wash my hands in innocence for nothing?

Surely you did set them in slippery places: you cast them down into destruction.

So foolish was I, and I did not know; I was like a beast before You.

Lift up Thy steps to the perpetual desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.

They said in their hearts, 'Let us oppress them together,' They did burn all the meeting-places of God in the land.

We did not see our signs; there is no prophet any more; neither is there among us any who knows how long.

You divided the [Red] Sea by Your strength;
You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

You crushed the heads of Leviathan (Egypt);
You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

You broke open fountains and streams;
You dried up ever-flowing rivers.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; my hands were raised at night and they did not grow weary. I refused to be comforted.

When I was in heaviness, I thought upon God: when my heart was vexed, then did I speak. Selah.

Did his mercy fail forever? his word come to an end to generation and generation?

Did God forget to compassionate? or in anger did he gather his compassion? Silence.

I will remember the works of the Lord. Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago!

It was not hid from their sons, to a later generation recounting the praises of Jehovah and his strength, and his wonders which he did.

and not be like their ancestors, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation [that] did not make ready its heart, whose spirit was not faithful [to] God.

They did not keep the covenant of God and refused to go in his law.

Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

“Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out
And the streams overflowed;
Can He give bread also?
Or will He provide meat for His people?”

because they did not believe God, and they did not trust his salvation.

Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

They did not turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,

In spite of all this they sinned further and did not believe his wonders.

Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

If he slew of them, then they sought him, Yea they turned, and did earnestly seek GOD;

Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

And their hearts were not right with him, and they did not keep their agreement with him.

But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

And they did not remember his {power} {when} he redeemed them from the enemy,

He leveled a path for His anger [to give it free run];
He did not spare their souls from death,
But turned over their lives to the plague.

Yea he led them securely, and they dreaded not, And, their enemies, the sea did cover.

But they tested and rebelled against God Most High and did not keep his statutes.

His priests fell by the sword, and his widows did not weep.

And he rejected the tent of Joseph, and did not chose the tribe of Ephraim,

So he did shepherd them, according to the singleness of his heart, And, with the discernment of his hands, used he to guide them.

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

You prepared room before it, and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

Why did you break down its walls so that those who pass by pluck its fruits?

He established it for a testimony in Joseph
When He went throughout the land of Egypt.
I heard the language [of One whom] I did not know, saying,

But my people did not listen to my voice, and Israel did not yield to me.

I gave them over to their stubborn desires; they did what seemed right to them.

Deal with them as [You did] with Midian,
As with Sisera and Jabin at the brook of Kishon,

O my God, make them like dead thistles, like dead weeds blown away by the wind!

Indeed, about Zion it will be said: "More than one person was born in it," and "The Most High himself did it."

For my soul is full of troubles,
And my life draws near the grave (Sheol, the place of the dead).

Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

Will the story of your mercy be given in the house of the dead? will news of your faith come to the place of destruction?

Will Your wonders be known in the darkness?
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness [where the dead forget and are forgotten]?

But to you did I send up my cry, O Lord; in the morning my prayer came before you.

And [so the] heavens will praise your wonderful deed, O Yahweh, even your faithfulness, in [the] assembly of [the] holy ones.

Once did I swear in my holy place if I shall lie to David.

Moreover, you have turned back the edge of his sword and did not support him in battle.

What man can live and not see death?
Can he rescue his soul from the [powerful] hand of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead)? Selah.

That when the wicked sprouted up like grass
And all who did iniquity flourished,
It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

[The] righteous will flourish like the date palm. They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Whose, is the sea, for, he, made it, And, the dry land, his hands, did form.

For He is our God
And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.
Today, if you will hear His voice,

Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

where your fathers tested Me;
they tried Me, though they had seen what I did.

Chanting. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, for he did wonders: his right hand saved for him, and his holy arm.

From the voice of my groaning my bone did cleave to my flesh.

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

Jehovah did justices and judgments to all being oppressed.

He did not to us according to our sins, and he did not recompense upon us according to our iniquities.

Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.

He did not allow anyone to oppress them, or any kings to reprove them.

These did his tokens among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

He sent darkness and made [it] dark, and they did not rebel against his words.

And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

We have sinned like our fathers;
We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.

Our fathers in Egypt did not understand nor appreciate Your miracles;
They did not remember the abundance of Your mercies nor imprint Your lovingkindnesses on their hearts,
But they were rebellious at the sea, at the Red Sea.

But they quickly forgot His works;
They did not [patiently] wait for His counsel and purpose [to be revealed regarding them],

They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image;

They forgot God their Savior,
who did great things in Egypt,

Then they refused the desirable land; they did not believe his word,

but grumbled in their tents. They did not obey the voice of Yahweh.

They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

Therefore, they became unclean because of what they did; they have acted like whores by their evil deeds.

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region;
They did not find a way to an inhabited city.

God, you have rejected us, have you not, since you did not march out with our army, God?

Let no man have pity on him, or give help to his children when he is dead.

Because the man did not remember to show kindness,
But persecuted the suffering and needy man,
And the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

Because he loved cursing, let it come [upon] him. Because he did not delight in blessing, let it be far from him.

He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

And our God is in the heavens; did all that he delighted in.

The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

The cords and sorrows of death encompassed me,
And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.

A voice of rejoicing and salvation in the tents of the just the right hand of Jehovah did strength.

The right hand of Jehovah was exalted: the right hand of Jehovah did strength.
