Psalms 106:19-22

106:19 They made an image of a calf at Horeb,

and worshiped a metal idol.

106:20 They traded their majestic God ¹ 

for the image of an ox that eats grass.

106:21 They rejected ²  the God who delivered them,

the one who performed great deeds in Egypt,

106:22 amazing feats in the land of Ham,

mighty ³  acts by the Red Sea.
