17They refusedH3985 to listenH8085 and failedH3808 to rememberH2142 the wondersH6381 You performedH6213 among themH5973. They stiffenedH7185 their necksH6203 and appointedH5414 a leaderH7218 to return themH7725 to their bondageH5659 in Egypt.1 But YouH859 are a forgivingH5547 GodH433, graciousH2587 and compassionateH7349, slowH750 to angerH639 and richH7227 in loving devotionH2617, and You did notH3808 forsake themH5800.
18EvenH637 whenH3588 they castH6213 for themselvesan imageH4541 of a calfH5695 and saidH559,‘ThisH2088 is your GodH430 whoH834 brought you upH5927 out of EgyptH4714,’and when they committedH6213 terribleH1419 blasphemiesH5007,19YouH859 in Your greatH7227 compassionH7356did notH3808 forsake themH5800 in the wildernessH4057.By dayH3119 the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 neverH3808 turned awayH5493from guiding themH5921H5148 on their pathH1870;and by the nightH3915 the pillarH5982 of fireH784illuminatedH215 the wayH1870 they should goH1980.20You gaveH5414 Your goodH2896 SpiritH7307 to instruct themH7919.You did notH3808 withholdH4513 Your mannaH4478 from their mouthsH6310,and You gaveH5414 them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772.
