- Psalms 78:12–72Rank 7 from verse 6
12Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
14In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
16He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
18And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
19Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
21Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
22Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
23Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
24And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.
26He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
27He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
28And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
29So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
30They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
31The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
32For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
33Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.
35And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
36Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
38But 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.
39For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
40How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
41Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
42They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
43How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
44And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
45He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
46He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
47He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
48He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
50He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
51And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
52But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
55He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
57But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
60So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
61And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand.
62He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
63The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
64Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
65Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
66And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
67Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
69And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
70He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
71From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
12Marueilous things did he in the sight of their fathers: in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13*Hee diuided the Sea, and caused them to passe through: and he made the waters to stand as an heape.
14*In the day time also he led them with a cloud: and all the night with a light of fire.
15*Hee claue the rockes in the wildernes: and gaue them drinke as out of the great depthes.
16Hee brought streames also out of the rocke, and caused waters to runne downe like riuers.
17And they sinned yet more against him: by prouoking the most High in the wildernes.
18And they tempted God in their heart: by asking meat for their lust.
19*†Yea, they spake against God: they said, Can God furnish a table in the wildernes?
20*Behold, he smote the rocke, that the waters gushed out, & the streames ouerflowed; can he giue bread also? can he prouide flesh for his people?
21Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth, so a fire was kindled against Iacob: and anger also came vp against Israel.
22Because they beleeued not in God: and trusted not in his saluation:
23Though he had commanded the cloudes from aboue: and opened the doores of heauen:
24*And had rained downe Manna vpon them to eate, and had giuen them of the corne of heauen.
25*‖Man did eate Angels food: hee sent them meat to the full.
26†He caused an East wind to blow in the heauen: and by his power hee brought in the South wind.
27†He rained flesh also vpon them as dust: and feathered soules like as the sand of the sea.
28And hee let it fall in the midst of their campe, round about their habitations.
29So they did eate, & were well filled: for he gaue them their owne desire.
30*They were not estranged from their lust: but while their meate was yet in their mouthes,
31†‖The wrath of God came vpon them, and slew the fattest of them: and smote downe the chosen men of Israel.
32For all this they sinned still: and beleeued not for his wondrous works.
33Therefore their dayes did he consume in vanitie, and their yeeres in trouble.
34When hee slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and inquired early after God.
35And they remembred that God was their rocke: and the high God, their redeemer.
36Neuerthelesse they did flatter him with their mouth: and they lyed vnto him with their tongues.
37For their heart was not right with him: neither were they stedfast in his couenant.
38But hee being full of compassion, forgaue their iniquity, and destroyed them not; yea many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.
39For he remembred that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and commeth not againe.
40‖How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernesse: and grieue him in the desert?
41Yea they turned backe and tempted God: and limited the holy one of Israel.
42‖They remembred not his hand: nor the day when hee deliuered them from the enemie:
43†How he had wrought his signes in Egypt: and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
44*And had turned their riuers into blood: and their flouds, that they could not drinke.
45*Hee sent diuers sorts of flies among them, which deuoured them: and frogges which destroyed them.
46*He gaue also their increase vnto the caterpiller: and their labour vnto the locust.
47*†‖He destroyed their vines with haile: and their Sycomore trees with frost.
48†‖He gaue vp their cattel also to the haile: and their flockes to hot thunder-bolts.
49He cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, wrath and indignation, and trouble: by sending euill angels among them.
50†*He made a way to his anger, hee spared not their soule from death: but gaue their life ouer to the pestilence.
51*And smote all the first borne in Egypt: the chiefe of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
52But made his owne people to goe forth like sheepe: and guided them in the wildernesse like a flocke.
53*†And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea ouerwhelmed their enemies.
54And he brought them to the border of his sanctuarie: euen to this mountaine which his right hand had purchased.
55*He cast out the heathen also before them, and diuided them an inheritance by line: and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56Yet they tempted and prouoked the most high God: and kept not his testimonies:
57But turned backe, and dealt vnfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitfull bowe.
58*For they prouoked him to anger with their high places: and moued him to ielousie with their grauen images.
59When God heard this, hee was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
60*So that he forsooke the tabernacle of Shiloh: the tent which he placed among men,
61And deliuered his strength into captiuitie: and his glory into the enemies hand.
62He gaue his people ouer also vnto the sword: and was wroth with his inheritance.
63†The fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not giuen to mariage.
64Their priests fell by the sword: and their widowes made no lamentation.
65Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleepe: and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
66And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetuall reproch.
67Moreouer he refused the tabernacle of Ioseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim.
68But chose the tribe of Iudah: the mount Sion which he loued.
69†And he built his sanctuarie like high palaces: like the earth which he hath established for euer.
70*He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the sheepe-folds:
71*†From following the ewes great with young, hee brought him to feed Iacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72So he fed them according to the integritie of his heart: and guided them by the skilfulnesse of his hands.

- Deuteronomy 4:32–38Rank 9 from verse 6
32For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?
33Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
34Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
