The meruelous passage of Israel from Ægypt.
the 4. key,
For the meruelous passage of Israel out of Ægypt, 3. the red sea, the riuer or Iordan, 7. and the hilles geuing them place, 8. the rockes yelding them water, 9. God, not themselues, is to be praised. 12. Idoles and Idolaters are vaine, and shal be confounded: 17. the faithful trust in God, 20. are blessed, and for euer praise God.
1 Alleluia. IN the commingforth of Israel out of Ægypt, of the house of Iacob from the barbarous people.
2 Iewrie was made his sanctification, Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw, and fled: Iordan was turned backeward.
4 The mountaines leaped as rammes: and the litle hilles as the lambes of sheepe.
5 What ayleth thee ô sea that thou didst flee: and thou ô Iordan, that thou wast turned backeward?
6 Ye mountaines leaped as rammes, and ye litle hilles as the lambes of shepe.
7 At the face of our Lord was the earth moued, at the face of the God of Iacob.
8 Who turned the rocke into pooles of waters, and the stonie hil into fountaines of waters.
9 NOT TO VS O LORD, NOT TO VS: but to thy name geue the glorie.
10 For thy mercie, and thy truth: lest at any time the Gentiles say: Where is their God?
11 But our God is in heauen: he hath done al thinges what soeuer he would.
12 The idols of the gentiles are siluer, and gold, the workes of mens handes.
13 They haue mouth, and shal not speake: they haue eies, and shal not see.
14 They haue eares, and shal not heare: they haue nosthrels and shal not smel.
15 They haue handes, and shal not handle: the haue feete, and shal not walke: they shal not crie in their throte.
16 Let them that make them become like to them: and al that haue confidence in them.
17 The house of Israel hath hoped in our Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
18 The house of Aaron hath hoped in our Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
19 They that feare our Lord, haue hoped in our Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
20 Our Lord hath beene mindful of vs: and hath blessed vs: He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.
21 He hath blessed al, that feare our Lord, the litle with the great.
22 Our Lord adde vpon you: vpon you, & vpon your children.
23 Blessed be you of our Lord, which made heauen, and earth.
24 The heauen of heauen is to our Lord: but the earth he hath geuen to the children of men.
25 They dead shal not prayse thee ô Lord: nor al they, that goe downe hel.
26 But we that liue, doe blesse our Lord, from this time, and for euer.
