Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Thanks for the pointed text! Some strange divisions, I thought.

1 Hear my law, | O my | people : incline your ears | unto . the | words . of my | mouth. 2 I will open my | mouth . in a | parable: I will de- | clare hard | senten-ces of | old; 3 Which we have | heard and | known: and | such as . our | fathers . have | told us; 4 That we should not hide them from the children of the gene- | rations . to | come : but to show 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 our fore- | fathers . to | teach their | children; 6 That their pos- | teri-ty might | know it : and the | children . which were | yet un- | born; 7 To the intent that when | they came | up : they might | show 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 gene- | ration : a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit cleaveth not | stedfast-ly | 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 | coven-ant of | God : and | would not | walk . in his | law; 12 But forgat what | he had | done : and the wonderful works that | he had | showed | for them. 13 Marvellous things did he in the sight of our forefathers, in the | land of | Egypt : even | in the | field of | Zoan. 14 He divided the sea, and | let them . go | through : he made the | waters . to | stand . on an | heap. 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 | 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 him : and provoked the Most | Highest | in the | wilder-ness. 19 They tempted God | in their | hearts : and re- | quired | meat . for their | lust. 20 They spake against God | also | saying : Shall God prepare a | table | in the | wilder-ness? 21 He smote the stony rock indeed, that the waters gushed out * and the streams | flowed with- | al : but can he give bread also | or pro-vide | flesh . for his | people? 22 When the Lord heard this | he was wroth : so the fire was kindled in Jacob, and there came up heavy dis- | pleasure . a- | gainst | Isra-el; 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' | food : for he | sent them | meat e- | nough. 27 He caused the east-wind to | blow . under | heaven : and through his power he brought | in the | southwest- | wind. 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 round a- | bout their | habi- | tation. 30 So they did eat, and were well filled, for he gave them their | own de- | sire : they were not disap- | pointed | of their | lust. 31 But while the meat was yet in their mouths * the heavy wrath of God came upon them, and slew the | wealthi-est | of them : yea, and smote down the chosen | men that | were in | Israel. 32 But for all this they | sinned yet | more : and believed | not his | wondrous | works. 33 Therefore their days did he con- | sume in | vani-ty : and their | years | in | trouble. 34 When he | slew . them they | sought him : and turned them early, and in- | quired | after | God. 35 And they remembered that | God . was their | strength : and that the High | God was | their redeemer. 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 for- | gave . their mis- | deeds : and des- | troyed | them | not. 39 Yea, many a time turned he his | wrath a- | way : and would not suffer his | whole dis- | pleasure . to a- | rise. 40 For he considered that they | were but | flesh : and that they were even a wind that passeth a- | way and | cometh . not a- | gain. 41 Many a time did they provoke him | in the | wilder-ness : and | grieved him | in the | desert. 42 They turned back, and | tempted | God : and moved the | Holy | One in | Israel. 43 They thought not | of his | hand : and of the day when he delivered them | from the | hand . of the | enemy; 44 How he had wrought his | mira-cles in | Egypt : and his | wonders . in the | field of | Zoan. 45 He turned their | waters . into | blood : so that they | might not | drink . of the | rivers. 46 He sent lice among them and | devoured them | up : and | frogs | to des- | troy them. 47 He gave their fruit | unto . the | caterpillar : and their | labour | unto . the | grass-hopper. 48 He destroyed their | vines with | hailstones : and their | mul-berry- | trees . with the | frost. 49 He smote their cattle | also . with | hailstones : and their | flocks with | hot | 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 | to the | pesti-lence; 52 And smote all the | first-born in | Egypt : the most principal and mightiest | in the | dwellings . of | Ham. 53 But as for his own people, he led them | forth like | sheep : and carried them in the | wilder-ness | like a | flock. 54 He brought them out safely, that they | should not | fear : and overwhelmed their | ene-mies | with the | sea. 55 And brought them within the | borders . of his | sanctua-ry : even to his mountain, which he purchased | with his | right | hand. 56 He cast out the heathen also before them, caused their land to be divided among them | for an | heri-tage : and made the tribes of | Isra-el to | dwell . in their | tents. 57 So they tempted and displeased the | Most High | God : and | kept | not his | testi-monies. 58 But turned their backs, and fell away | like their | forefathers : starting aside | like a | broken | bow. 59 For they grieved him | with their | hill-altars : and provoked him to dis- | pleasure | with their | images. 60 When God heard this | he was | wroth : and took | sore dis- | pleasure . at | Isra-el; 61 So that he forsook the tabernacle | in | Shiloh : even the tent that he had | pitched a- | mong | men. 62 He delivered their power | into . cap- | tivity : and their beauty | into . the | ene-my's | hand. 63 He gave his people over also | unto . the | sword : and was | wroth with | his in- | heritance. 64 The fire consumed their | young | men : and their maidens | were not | given . to | marriage. 65 Their priests were | slain . with the | sword : and there were no | widows . to | make . lamen- | tation. 66 So the Lord awaked as one | out of | sleep : and like a | giant . re- | freshed with | wine. 67 He smote his enemies in the | hinder | parts : and put them | to a . per- | petu-al | shame. 68 He refused the tabernacle | of | Joseph : and | chose . not the | tribe of | Ephraim; 69 But chose the | tribe of | Judah : even the hill of | Sion | which he | loved. 70 And there he built his | temple . on | high : and laid the foundation of it like the ground which | he hath | made con- | tinually. 71 He chose David | also . his | servant : and | took . him a- | way . from the | sheep-folds: 72 As he was following the ewes great with | young ones . he | took him : that he might feed Jacob his people, and | Isra-el | his in- | heritance. 73 So he fed them with a faithful and | true | heart : and ruled them | prudent-ly with | all his | power.
