Psalms 106:19-27 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

19. Upon the hill of Horeb theyan idol-calf did frame,A molten image they did make,and worshipped the same.

20. And thus their glory, and their God,most vainly changed theyInto the likeness of an oxthat eateth grass or hay.

21. They did forget the mighty God,that had their saviour been,By whom such great things brought to passthey had in Egypt seen.

22. In Ham's land he did wondrous works,things terrible did he,When he his mighty hand and armstretch'd out at the Red sea.

23. Then said he, He would them destroy,had not, his wrath to stay,His chosen Moses stood in breach,that them he should not slay.

24. Yea, they despis'd the pleasant land,believed not his word:

25. But in their tents they murmured,not heark'ning to the Lord.

26. Therefore in desert them to slayhe lifted up his hand:

27. 'Mong nations to o'erthrow their seed,and scatter in each land.
