PREFACE. 
 
 During the last few years great care has been successfully 
 bestowed upon the pointing of the Psalter, so as to ensure an 
 intelligent musical rendering of each clause of the separate 
 verses ; but, as far as I am aware, no attempt has been made 
 to exhibit the general structure of the Psalms in such a 
 manner as to suggest the variety of musical treatment which 
 is required in different Psalms and in different parts of the 
 same Psalms for their true interpretation. The present ar- 
 rangement, which has been made and tested during the last six 
 years of my work at Peterborough, is an endeavour to obtain 
 this object, or at least to indicate what must be aimed at, as 
 far as I can judge, in order that the chanting of the Psalms 
 may contribute in the highest degree to the edifying of the 
 Choir and of the Congregation. 
 
 It is evident upon the least reflection that no one uniform 
 method of chanting can be applicable to the whole Psalter. 
 Sometimes the verses are separately complete ; sometimes 
 they are arranged in couplets, sometimes in triplets ; some- 
 times they are grouped in unequal but corresponding masses. 
 
 a 
 
vi PREFACE. 
 
 In most cases the verses consist of two members, but not 
 unfrequently they consist of three or four. If therefore the 
 Psalms are sung antiphonally on one method in single verses, 
 or in pairs of verses, or in half verses, the sense must con- 
 stantly be sacrificed ; and the Music instead of illuminating 
 the thought will fatally obscure it. 
 
 Thus, for example, the second Psalm consists of four 
 triplets, which offer remarkable internal correspondences. 
 The teaching of the Psalm is wholly destroyed if the separate 
 unity of these four stanzas is not clearly marked in chanting. 
 There are cases again when the form of the composition is 
 changed in its course. Thus in the nineteenth Psalm there 
 is an abrupt transition from a triple to a double structure. 
 The glory of God in the heavens is portrayed in two 
 stanzas of three verses each : His glory in the Law, and 
 man's consequent prayer, in two stanzas of four verses each. 
 The simplest music which accentuates this form of com- 
 position necessarily directs the attention of the hearer to 
 the progress of thought with which it corresponds. If no 
 clear change of rendering meets the change of structure, 
 the idea probably remains hidden. In the twenty-fourth 
 Psalm, to take an illustration of a different kind, the question 
 and answer in w. 8, 10 ought clearly to be separated. There 
 are also obvious changes of feeling, from confidence to 
 prayer, from prayer to thanksgiving, and even alternations 
 of feeling in the same Psalm, which call for musical re- 
 cognition. 
 
PREFACE. vii 
 
 I have striven therefore, after long and repeated study, 
 to mark the main divisions of the Psalms, and by very brief 
 marginal notes to characterize them. The sharpest divisions 
 are distinguished by a space and a dash {e.g. Ps. ii) : divi- 
 sions more or less clear by a broader or narrower space [e.g. 
 Ps. i and Ps. iii). In making them I have carefully weighed 
 conflicting views. In some cases variations in my own judg- 
 ment from time to time shew that the conclusion reached is 
 uncertain ; but in the majority of Psalms the same outline 
 of structure is recognised by a general consent of commen- 
 tators, and cannot fail to approve itself to the reader. 
 
 It .happens sometimes that the conjunctions which have 
 been introduced in the Prayer-book Version mar the se- 
 quence of thought (i, 7, ' But the Lord ' in place of ' For 
 the Lord'; viii, 3, 'For I will' in place of ' When I'). 
 These inaccuracies have necessarily been disregarded. 
 
 One important feature of many Psalms in relation to their 
 musical rendering is the recurrence of ' refrains.' These 
 are sometimes simple (Pss. viii, xlii f, xlix, lvii, lxii, lxvii, 
 lxxx, lxxxvii, xcix, cxv, cxvi, exxxvi), sometimes double 
 (Pss. xxiv, lix, cvii), and sometimes complicated (cxviii). In 
 all cases they require to be marked in some way so as to 
 bring out plainly the character of the composition. In respect 
 to these again the irregular freedom of the English version 
 injures in several cases the perfect symmetry of the original. 
 Thus in Ps. xlix, 12, the additional clause taken from v. 13 
 destroys the perfect correspondence with v. 20; in cxvi, 13 
 
 a 2 
 
viii PREFACE. 
 
 (parallel to 16a), the words unto the Lord are omitted 
 without authority, and now has the same claim to appear 
 in v. 16 as in v. 13; in cxlii, 6, 14, cxliii, 5, there are three 
 distinct renderings of one phrase (see also lix, 6, 14; cxviii, 
 t, 29 ; 10 fif. &c). 
 
 The Gloria at the close of each Psalm must be regarded 
 as one uniform refrain. In many cases (e. g. Pss. Ixxxviii, 
 cxlii f.) it ought to be rendered by a distinct chant, that 
 so the voice of praise may be clearly heard after the sad- 
 dest utterances. Sometimes it can be made in this way to 
 bind together a group of Psalms in a greater unity. Some- 
 times (as in Ps. cxix) it will mark by its measured recur- 
 rence successive breaks in the development of one idea. 
 
 In this connexion it may be noticed that the first four 
 of the five Books into which the Hebrew Psalter is divided 
 are closed by a special Doxology (Ps. xli, 13; lxxii, 18 f; 
 lxxxix, 50*5 ; cvi, 46). These Doxologies form no part 
 of the Psalms to which they are appended, and should be 
 treated distinctly. As they stand at present, the Doxology in 
 Ps. xli wholly mars the structure of the Psalm ; and that 
 in Ps. lxxxix mars the sense. The last Psalm is a grand 
 Doxology to the whole Psalter. 
 
 The ' refrains ' and doxologies are printed in italics. 
 
 It has not seemed desirable to introduce into the text the 
 enigmatic word Selah. The term indeed appears to mark 
 some change in the original musical accompaniment, — perhaps 
 a passage for the instruments alone, — but its interpretation

 is most uncertain, and an examination of the passages in which 
 it occurs leads to no positive result as to its general import.

 In the Psalter of 1549 (printed by H. Powell for E. 
 Whitchurch) the first Sela is printed with the comprehensive 
 note : ' Sela is as much to say as always, continually, for euer, 
 ' forsoith, verely, a lifting up of the voice, or to make a 
 ' pause, and earnestly to consydre and to ponder the sentence.' 
 It occurs again xxi, 2; xxxii, 6, 8; xxxix, 6 (mg.) 12; xliv, 9 
 
x PREFACE. 
 
 (mg.); xlvi, 3, 11; xlvii, 4; xlviii, 7; xlix, 13, 15 (mg.) &c. 
 The occurrence, it will be seen, is quite irregular, but it would 
 justify the introduction of the term systematically if it were 
 otherwise desired. It should however be added that I have 
 not observed the term in any other early Psalter {e.g. 
 Grafton 1549, Worcester 1549, Whitchurch 1552 (?), Jugge 
 and Cawood 1560, Barker 1590). 
 
 The verse-division of the Psalms in the Prayer Book 
 offers many difficulties in the way of their musical rendering. 
 This differs considerably from the division in the Hebrew 
 text, which is followed in the Bible Version. Where the 
 Prayer Book division seriously obscured the structure of the 
 Psalms, I have ventured to alter it {e.g. i, 3 f ; iv, 6 f ; v, 9 f ; 
 vii, 9 f; xvi, 4 f; xix, 14 f; xlviii, 2; lxiii, 1 f ; lxxi, 1, 9; lxxviii, 
 38 f; xcii, 7; xcviii, 1 f; cxvi, 13, 16; cxxxix, 1. 
 
 In other cases I have not thought it well to disturb the 
 existing arrangement {e.g. x, 9 f ; xi, 4 f ; xv, 5 ff ; xviii, 1, 
 43; xxii, 29 f; xxvii, 6 f, 10 f; xxviii, 14 f; xxx, 6 f, 9 f; 
 xxxi, 2 f; xxxix, 13 f; xliv, 21 ; xciii, 1 f; cv, 34; cxx, 3), 
 though it might have been better to restore the division of 
 Ixxiii, 12, and to conform cviii, 8, 9 to the parallel lx, 7, 8. 
 
 The version has other faults of this kind which lie be- 
 yond any immediate remedy. The translation of Ps. xxix, 
 for example, offers a striking instance of the destruction of 
 that symmetry of composition which it is one of the natural 
 aims of music to interpret. In v. 1 the introduction of the 
 false duplicate rendering bring young rams unto the Lord, 
 
PREFACE. xi 
 
 destroys the perfect correspondence between the first two 
 and the last two verses, with the fourfold repetition of the 
 sacred Name. Again in v. 3 the rendering, it is the Lord 
 that commandeth the waters, for the voice of the Lord is upon 
 the waters, entirely hides the first enunciation of the sub- 
 ject ; and the transference of the third member of the verse 
 {it is the Lord that ruleth the sea) to the beginning of v. 4 
 is ruinous to the symmetry of both verses (see also xiv, 
 u, and Hi, 7, 8). 
 
 The Prayer-book Psalter is indeed practically a ' sur- 
 vival' of our first English Bible. It is described in the 
 Preface as following 'the translation of the great English 
 Bible, set forth and used in the time of King Henry the 
 Eighth and Edward the Sixth.' More exactly, it is, I be- 
 lieve, a reproduction, not critically precise, of the last 
 revision of this Bible (Nov. 1540 1 ). The 'Great Bible' 
 (1539- 1 540) was' a revision by Coverdale of Matthew's Bible 
 (1537), in which the Psalter was taken from Coverdale's own 
 translation of 1535. The merits of this version, which render 
 it ' smoother and more easy to sing,' caused it to be retained 
 in 1662, when the other portions of Scripture used in Di- 
 vine service were generally directed to be taken from the 
 Revision of King James. These merits belong to all the 
 work of Coverdale, an exquisite rhythm, a graceful freedom 
 of rendering, and an endeavour to represent the spirit as well

 1540), is corrected. 
 
xii PREFACE. 
 
 as the letter of the original. But at the same time the 
 translation, which was very powerfully influenced by the 
 Zurich German Bible, by the Latin Version of Mtinster, and 
 by the Vulgate, is disfigured by many inaccuracies, and by 
 some interpolations from the current and familiar Latin 
 Vulgate. 
 
 In all the editions of the Great Bible which I have ex- 
 amined, these interpolations from the Latin are distinctly 
 marked by difference of type or by brackets according to 
 Coverdale's expressed purpose. They are also partially 
 distinguished in the Earliest Psalters 1 'pointed for use in 
 Churches' (Powell for Whitchurch, Grafton [August], and 
 Worcester [September] 1 549). But the round brackets which 
 are used to distinguish them are used even in the same 
 verses {e.g. Ps. ii, 1 2) for a different purpose, and nearly a 
 fourth, including the great interpolation in Ps. xiv {vv. 7 — 9), 
 are not marked at all. In the edition of 1564 by Jugge 
 and Cawood many more are neglected. In the edition of 
 Barker, 1590, a few only are marked {e.g. xiv, 2, 9; xviii, 49; 
 xxii, 1, 16, &c.) These facts shew how little critical care 
 was used in preparing the Psalter for use in Churches; but 
 it is clear that it would be in accordance with the purpose 
 of those who first printed it in this form to distinguish all 
 the additions to the Hebrew text 2 . 
 
 1 The Psalter of 1548 (printed by R. Car) is Coverdale's Version with very 
 slight variations: e.g. Ps. Ii, 1. 
 
 2 As an example of the strange carelessness which prevailed, it may be 
 mentioned that Ps. xxxvii, 29 is printed The righteous shall be punished in Grafton, 
 Worcester (1549), Whitchurch (1552?), Jugge and Cawood (1564), Barker (1590)-

 It is not easy to see on what principle these additions 
 were taken ; for there are many other interpolations of the 
 Vulgate Latin which are unnoticed though they have equal 
 claims to recognition: e.g. Pss. v, 6, 10, 12; vii, 2; xviii, 
 35; xliv, 26; xlv, 4; xlviii, 11; Hi, 6 ; lxvi, 3; lxviii, 32; 
 cviii, 2; cxviii, 28; exxxviii, 1; cxlvi, 13. 
 
 The Latin titles of the Psalms are, it may be added, 
 the first words of the " Vulgate " version. This version 
 having been made from the Greek (lxx) and not from 
 the Hebrew, differs widely in many places from the original, 
 so that the headings offer some remarkable variations from 
 the English version, e.g. Pss. xxxvi, lxii, lxxiii, lxxx, Ixxxiii, 
 The common heading of Ps. cix (Deus laudum) is a mere 
 error which I have ventured to correct. 
 
 This is not the place to enter further in detail into the 
 mistakes of the Prayer-book Psalter. It is not perhaps too 
 much to hope that the unquestionable errors of rendering 
 and form may be dealt with by competent authority at no 
 distant period. The question was prepared for Convoca- 
 tion in 1689, and it was proposed by the Commissioners 
 'to leave wholly to Convocation to consider and determine 
 'whether the amendment of the reading Psalms (as they 
 
PREFACE. xv 
 
 ' are called) made by the Bishop of St Asaph [Lloyd] and 
 1 Dr Kidder, or that of the Bible [1611] shall be inserted in 
 'the Prayer-book 1 '. 
 
 If such a revision were undertaken, it should be guided 
 by the spirit of Coverdale. The precise and literal exact- 
 ness which is required in a version of Scripture for study 
 is not required in a version for use in public service. For 
 such a purpose the main object must be to secure a plain 
 and rhythmical expression of the sense of the original, even 
 at the sacrifice of the letter ; and any one who will com- 
 pare the Prayer-book Psalter with the original will be able 
 to convince himself that the changes which are needed to 
 remove distinct mistakes could be made without injury to 
 its general character. 
 
 But even as it is the present text of the Prayer-book 
 Psalter preserves in the main the great features of the struc- 
 ture of the Psalms which Music has to illustrate. In this 
 respect any musician who may accept the general princi- 
 ples of the present arrangement will determine for himself 
 how they can best be carried out in the particular circum- 
 stances with which he has to deal. Every effect necessary 
 to give a true musical interpretation of the Psalms can be 
 secured by the simplest means, by the free change of the 
 melody, by the separate use of boys' and men's voices 2 , by

 ' male and female singers, has a very striking effect.' R. B.-B.

xviii PREFACE. 
 
 I need scarcely say that I could not have adequately 
 tested the present arrangement of the Psalms without the 
 hearty co-operation of our successive Precentors, the Rev. 
 C. Daymond, Rev. W. F. Wilkinson, Rev. T. H. Vines, and 
 Rev. S. Phillips, and from first to last of Dr H. Keeton, to 
 whom I offer my warmest thanks. But above all I must 
 acknowledge my debt to the Rev. R. Brown Borthwick, Vicar 
 of All Saints, Scarborough, without whose advice and en- 
 couragement I should not have ventured to print the Psalter. 
 While we were occupied with tentative 'paragraph' chant- 
 ing at Peterborough, Mr Brown Borthwick sent me an 
 account of a musical rendering of Ps. lxxviii by Dr Naylor, 
 the organist of All Saints, which though far more elabo- 
 rate in treatment was in principle identical with our own. 
 This independent and striking confirmation of the method 
 which I desired to see carried out, led to further commu- 
 nications with Mr Brown Borthwick, which shewed that 
 he had formed the plan of a Psalter similar in its essen- 
 tial features to this, which has been completed with the 
 assistance of his constant counsel. I should be unwilling 
 to make Mr Brown Borthwick responsible for all the de- 
 tails in the execution of the plan, but I should be no less 
 unwilling that he should not fully share any credit which 
 may attach to the general conception ; and every sheet has 
 had the advantage of his criticism. 
 
 The pointing is, with few exceptions, taken by the per- 
 mission of the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press from 
 
PREFACE. xix 
 
 'the Pointed Prayer Book,' with the addition of an asterisk 
 to mark one feature in the composition of some Psalms which 
 is generally overlooked. Most of the verses of the Psalms 
 consist, as has been already remarked, of two parallel mem- 
 bers, and these are almost always correctly divided by the 
 central ' point ' (yet see xv. 2) ; but a considerable number 
 of verses consist of three (see e.g. lxxvii, 16 — 19) or of four 
 members. These structural breaks are generally marked by 
 an asterisk ; but in some cases the translation did not al- 
 low this method of notation {e.g. xxii, 14). A short pause 
 in the recitation before the asterisk will sufficiently indicate 
 the form of the composition. 
 
 If the book contributes in any degree to suggest new 
 modes of interpreting the Psalms in our public worship, 
 the labour which has been spent upon it will not have 
 been in vain. In our Cathedrals and great Churches the 
 Psalms are the centre of the service. They furnish splendid 
 opportunities for the consecration of the highest gifts of 
 musical genius and musical skill ; and no nobler task can 
 be given to the religious artist than to interpret them in a 
 universal language. This is his proper office. The student 
 of Theology can only offer him some clue to their structure 
 and to their characteristic lessons in the hope that it may 
 be of service to him as he comes to offer his own eift in 
 Divine worship.

 5 For there is one Person of the Father, * another

 1 1 And yet they are not three e-|ter-nals : but one 
 external. 
 
 1 2 As also there are not three incomprehensibles, * 
 nor three uncre-|a-ted : but one uncreated, * and 6ne 
 incompre-| hensible. 
 
 13 So likewise the Father is Almighty, * the Son 
 Al-[might-y : and the Holy Ghost A1-) mighty. 
 
 14 And yet they are not three Al-|might-ies : but 
 one Al- 1 mighty. 
 
 1 5 So the Father is God, * the Son is | God : and 
 the Holy Ghost is | God. 
 
 16 And yet they are not three | Gods : but 6ne|

 1 7 So likewise the Father is Lord, * the S6n | Lord : 
 and the Holy Ghost | Lord. 
 
 18 And yet not thr^e | Lords : but 6ne | Lord. 
 
 19 For like as we are compelled by the Christian | 
 veri-ty : to acknowledge every Person by Himself to 
 be God and | Lord ; 
 
 20 So are we forbidden by the Catholick Re-|li- 
 gion : to say, There be three Gods, * or thr6e | Lords. 
 
 2 1 The Father is made of | none : neither created 
 nor be-|gotten. 
 
 22 The Son is of the Father a- j lone : not made, 
 nor created * but be- 1 gotten. 
 
 23 The Holy Ghost is of the Father and 6{ the| 
 Son : neither made, nor created, nor begotten " :; " but 
 pro-|ceeding. 
 
 24 So there is one Father, not three Fathers * one 
 Son, not three | Sons : one Holy Ghost, not thr£e 
 Holy I Ghosts.

 none is greater or less than an- 1 other;

 28 He therefore that will be | sav-ed : must thus 
 think of the | Trinity. 
 
 29 Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting sal-| 
 va-tion : that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of 
 our Lord Jesus [ Christ. 
 
 30 For the right Faith is, that we believe and con-| Aconfes-

 soul and human flesh sub-|sisting. 
 
 33 Equal to the Father, as touching his | God-head : 
 and inferior to the Father, as touching his | Man- 
 hood. 
 
 34 Who although he be God and | Man : yet he is 
 not two, but 6ne | Christ. 
 
 35 One ; not by conversion of the G6dhead into| 
 flesh ; but by taking of the Mdnhood into | God ; 
 
 36 One altogether * not by confusion of | sub-stance J

 of the gener-|ations to | come : but to shew the honour 
 of the Lord, * his mighty and wonderful | works that | 
 he hath | done. 
 
 5 He made a covenant with Jacob, * and gave 
 Isra-|el a | law : which he commanded 6ur fore-| 
 fathers * to | teach their | children ; 
 
 6 That their posteri- 1 ty might | know it : and the 
 children | which were | yet un-|born; 
 
 7 To the intent that when | they came | up : they 
 might I shew their | children the | same ; 
 
 8 That they might put their | trust in | God : and 
 not to forget the works of God, * but to | keep | his 
 com-|mandments ; 
 
 9 And not to be as their forefathers, * a faithless 
 and stubborn | gener-|ation : a generation that set not 
 their heart aright, """and whose spirit cleaveth not | sted- 
 fastly I unto | God ; 
 
 10 Like as the | children of | Ephraim : who being 
 harnessed and carrying bows, turned themselves back | 
 in the | day of | battle. 
 
 11 They kept not the c6ven-|ant of | God : and 
 w6uld not I walk | in his | law ; 
 
 1 2 But forgat what | he had | done : and the won- 
 derful w6rks that | he had | shewed | for them. 
 
 13 Marvellous things did he in the sight of our fore- The fi rst 
 fathers, in the J land of | Egypt : even | in the | field ™/™ les 
 of I Zoan. Exodus. 
 
 14 He divided the sea, and let | them go | through : 
 he made the waters to | stand | on an | heap. 
 
Day 15. PSALM LXXVIII. 129 
 
 15 In the day-time also he led them | with a | cloud ; 
 and all the night through | with a | light of | fire. 
 
 16 He clave the hard rocks | in the | wilderness : 
 and gave them drink thereof, as it had been | out of 
 the I great | depth. 
 
 17 He brought waters out of the | stony | rock : so 
 that it gushed | out | like the | rivers. 
 
 18 Yet for all this they sinned | more a-|gainst Themur- 
 him : and prov6ked the most | Highest | in the | Z% g o£. 
 wilderness. 
 
 19 They tempted God | in their | hearts : and re- 
 quired I meat | for their | lust. 
 
 20 They spake against God | also, [ saying : "Shall 
 God prepare a | table | in the | wilderness?* 
 
 21 "He smote the stony rock indeed that the water 
 gushed out, * and the streams | flowed with-|al : but 
 can he give bread also, * or provide | flesh | for his | 
 people?" 
 
 22 When the Lord heard this, | he was | wroth : so Miraculous 
 the fire was kindled in Jacob, * and there came up the^ur-° 
 heavy displeasure a- 1 gainst | Isra-|el ; munng. 
 
 23 Because they believed | not in | God : and put 
 not their | trust | in his | help. 
 
 24 So he commanded the | clouds a-|bove : and | 
 opened the | doors of | heaven. 
 
 25 He rained down manna also upon them | for to | 
 eat : and | gave them | food from | heaven. 
 
 26 So man did eat | angels' J food : for he | sent 
 them I meat e-[nough. 
 
 27 He caused the east-wind to blow | under | heaven J 
 and through his power he brought | in the | south- 
 west- I wind. 
 
 17 
 
i 3 o PSALM LXXVIII. Day 15. 
 
 28 He rained flesh upon them as | thick as | dust : 
 and feathered fowls like as the | sand | of the | sea. 
 
 29 He let it fall a-|mong their | tents : even r6und 
 a- 1 bout their | habit- |ation. 
 
 30 So they did eat and were well filled ; for he gave 
 them their I own de-|sire : they were not disap-| pointed | 
 of their | lust. 
 
 31 But while the meat was yet in their mouths, 4 ' the 
 heavy wrath of God came upon them, * and slew the | 
 wealthiest | of them : yea and smote down the chosen 
 men that | were in | Isra-|el. 
 
 32 But for all this they | sinned yet | more : and vicbsi- 
 believed | not his | wondrous | works. judgment 
 
 33 Therefore their days did he con-|sume in | andfaith - 
 vanity : and their | years | in | trouble. 
 
 34 When he slew them, they | sought | him : and 
 turned them early, and en- 1 quired | after | God. 
 
 35 And they remembered that God | was their | 
 strength : and that the high | God was | their red-| 
 eemer. 
 
 36 Nevertheless, they did but flatter him | with 
 their | mouth : and dissembled | with him | in their | 
 tongue. 
 
 37 For their heart was not | whole with | him : 
 neither continued they | stedfast | in his | covenant. 
 
 38 But he was so merciful, that he forgave their 
 misdeeds, and destroyed | them | not : 39 Yea many 
 a time turned he his wrath away,*and would not suffer 
 his whole dis-| pleasure | to a- 1 rise. 
 
 40 For he considered that they | were but | flesh : 
 and that they were even a wind that passeth away, 
 and I cometh | not a- 1 gain. 
 
Day 15. PSALM LXXVIII. 131 
 
 41 Many a time did they provoke him | in the |

 42 They turned back, and | tempted | God : and 
 moved the H61y | One in | Isra-|el. 
 
 43 They thought not | of his | hand : and of the 
 day when he delivered them from the | hand | of the |

 44 How he had wrought his miracles | in | Egypt :

 47 He gave their fruit | unto the | caterpillar ; and 
 their | labour | unto the | grasshopper. 
 
 48 He destroyed their | vines with | hailstones : 
 and their mulberry- 1 trees | with the | frost. 
 
 49 He smote their cattle | also with | hailstones : 
 and their | flocks with | hot j thunderbolts. 
 
 50 He cast upon them the furiousness of his wrath,'" 
 anger, dis-| pleasure, and | trouble : and sent | evil | 
 angels a-|mong them. 
 
 51 He made a way to his indignation, ""and spared 
 not their | soul from | death : but gave their life | 
 over I to the | pestilence ; 
 
 52 And smote all the | firstborn in | Egypt : the 
 most principal and mightiest | in the | dwellings of I

 53 But as for his own people, he led them | forth 
 like I sheep : and carried them in the | wilderness |

 the I sea. 
 
 55 And brought them within the b6rders | of his |

 56 He cast out the heathen | also be- 1 fore them :

 57 So they tempted and displeased the | most high | Apostacy

 59 For they grieved him with their | hill-|altars : 
 and provoked him to dis-| pleasure [ with their |

 23 So he said he would have destroyed them, * had

 6ver-| throw them | in the | wilderness; 
 
 27 To cast out their seed a-|mong the | nations : 
 and to I scatter them | in the | lands.
