Through out the land of thy abode  
No alien God shall be  
Nor shalt thou to a forein God  
In honour bend thy knee.  
40  
0 I am the Lord thy God which brought  
Thee out of Aegypt land  
Ask large enough, and I, besought,  
Will grant thy full demand.  
1 And yet my people would not hear,  
Nor hearken to my voice;  
And Israel whom I lov'd so dear  
Mislik'd me for his choice.  
2 Then did I leave them to their will  
And to their wandring mind;  
Their own conceits they follow'd still  
Their own devises blind  
50  
3 O that my people would be wise  
To serve me all their daies,  
And O that Israel would advise  
To walk my righteous waies.  
4 Then would I soon bring down their foes  
That now so proudly rise,  
And turn my hand against all those  
That are their enemies.

5 Who hate the Lord should then be fain
