02:24wrong we have done evil our ancestors in Egypt failed to appreciate your miraculous deeds they failed to remember your
02:34for many acts of love and they rebelled at the sea by the Red Sea yet he delivered them for
02:42the sake of his reputation that he might reveal his power he shouted at the Red Sea and dried up
02:50he led them through the deep water as if it were a desert he delivered them from the power of
02:57the one who hated them rescue them from the power of the enemy
03:03the water the water covered their enemies not even one of them survived they believed his promises they sang praises
03:11to him they quickly forgot what he had done they did not wait for his instructions in the wilderness they
03:21had an insatiable craving for meat they challenged God in the wastelands
03:28he granted their request then struck them with a disease in the camp they resented Moses and Aaron the Lord's
03:38holy priest the earth opened up and swallowed Dathan it engulfed the group led by Abiram fire burned their group
03:50the flames scorched the wicked they made an image of a calf at Horeb and worship
03:56a metal idol they traded their majestic god they traded their majestic god for the image of an ox that
04:02eats grass they rejected the god who delivered them the one who performed great deeds in Egypt amazing feats in
04:11the land of Ham mighty acts by the Red Sea
04:17he threatened to destroy them but Moses his chosen one interceded with him and turned back his destructive anger
04:27they rejected the fruitful land they did not believe his promise they grumbled in their tents they did not obey
04:35the Lord so he made a solemn vow that he would make them die
04:40in the wilderness make their descendants die among the nations and scattered them amongst foreign lands
04:48they worshipped Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to the dead they made the Lord angry by their actions
04:57and a plague broke out among them
05:01Phinehas took a stand and intervened and the plague subsided this was credited to him as a righteous act for
05:10all generations to come
05:13they made him angry by the waters of Meribah and Moses suffered because of them for they aroused his temple
05:21and he spoke rashly
05:25they did not destroy the nations as the Lord had commanded them to do
05:29they mixed in with the nations and learnt their ways
05:33they worshipped their idols which became a snare to them they sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons
05:41they shed innocent blood the blood of their sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan
05:49the land was polluted by bloodshed
05:54they were defiled by their deeds and unfaithful in their actions
05:59so the Lord was angry with his people and despised the people who belonged to him
06:05he handed them over to the nations and those who hated them ruled over them
06:11their enemies oppressed them
06:13they were subject to their authority
06:17many times he delivered them
06:19but they had a rebellious attitude and degraded themselves by their sin
06:25yet he took notice of their distress when he heard their cry for help
06:31he remembered his covenant with them and relented because of his great loyal love
06:38he caused all their conquerors to have pity on them
06:43deliver us O Lord our God
06:46gather us from among the nations
06:48then we will give thanks to your holy name and boast of your praiseworthy deeds
