8 Hear, O my people, and my mind I'll [show and] testify to thee; ⟨p. 137⟩O Israel, if thou wilt obey, And [truly] hearken unto me.
8 Hear, O my people, and my mind I'le [shew and] testifie to thee; ⟨p. 137⟩O Israel, if thou wilt obey, And [truly] hearken unto me.
9 Then know that no strange God at all, In thee I [ever] will allow; Nor shalt thou to any strange God By way of worship [kneel and] bow.
10 For I the Lord thy God am he Who thee from Egypt's [bondage] led, Open thy mouth wide, and thou shall [By me] be plentifully fed.
11 But this my people would not hear This statute which [to them] I spake; And Israel would have none of me, But [this] my [great] Commandment brake.
