*
Moreover You led them by day with a cloudy pillar ,
And by night with a pillar of fire ,
To give them light on the road Which they should travel .
* "
You came down also on Mount Sinai ,
And spoke with them from heaven ,
And gave them just ordinances and true laws ,
Good statutes and commandments .
*
You made known to them Your holy Sabbath ,
And commanded them precepts ,
statutes and laws ,
By the hand of Moses Your servant .
*
You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger ,
And brought them water out of the rock for their thirst ,
And told them to go in to possess the land Which You had sworn to give them .
* "
But they and our fathers acted proudly ,
Hardened their necks ,
And did not heed Your commandments .
*
They refused to obey ,
And they were not mindful of Your wonders That You did among them .
But they hardened their necks ,
And in their rebellion They appointed a leader To return to their bondage .
But You are God ,
Ready to pardon ,
Gracious and merciful ,
Slow to anger ,
Abundant in kindness ,
And did not forsake them .
* "
Even when they made a molded calf for themselves ,
And said , "
This is your god That brought you up out of Egypt ,'
And worked great provocations ,
*
Yet in Your manifold mercies You did not forsake them in the wilderness .
The pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day ,
To lead them on the road ;
Nor the pillar of fire by night ,
To show them light ,
And the way they should go .
*
You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them ,
And did not withhold Your manna from their mouth ,
And gave them water for their thirst .
*
Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness ;
They lacked nothing ;
Their clothes did not wear out And their feet did not swell .
* "
Moreover You gave them kingdoms and nations ,
And divided them into districts .
So they took possession of the land of Sihon ,
The land of the king of Heshbon ,
And the land of Og king of Bashan .
*
You also multiplied their children as the stars of heaven ,
And brought them into the land Which You had told their fathers To go in and possess .
