| 78:1 |
Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
|
| 78:2 |
I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,
|
| 78:3 |
Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.
|
| 78:4 |
We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.
|
| 78:5 |
For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;
|
| 78:6 |
That the generation to come might know [them], even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell [them] to their children,
|
| 78:7 |
That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,
|
| 78:8 |
And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
|
| 78:9 |
The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.
|
| 78:10 |
They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;
|
| 78:11 |
And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.
|
| 78:12 |
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
|
| 78:13 |
He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; And he made the waters to stand as a heap.
|
| 78:14 |
In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.
|
| 78:15 |
He clave rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
|
| 78:16 |
He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.
|
| 78:17 |
Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.
|
| 78:18 |
And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.
|
| 78:19 |
Yea, they spake against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
|
| 78:20 |
Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?
|
| 78:21 |
Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel;
|
| 78:22 |
Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation.
|
| 78:23 |
Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven;
|
| 78:24 |
And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven.
|
| 78:25 |
Man did eat the bread of the mighty: He sent them food to the full.
|
| 78:26 |
He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by his power he guided the south wind.
|
| 78:27 |
He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged birds as the sand of the seas:
|
| 78:28 |
And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations.
|
| 78:29 |
So they did eat, and were well filled; And he gave them their own desire.
|
| 78:30 |
They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,
|
| 78:31 |
When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel.
|
| 78:32 |
For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works.
|
| 78:33 |
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in terror.
|
| 78:34 |
When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly.
|
| 78:35 |
And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer.
|
| 78:36 |
But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue.
|
| 78:37 |
For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant.
|
| 78:38 |
But he, being merciful, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: Yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath.
|
| 78:39 |
And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
|
| 78:40 |
How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!
|
| 78:41 |
And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.
|
| 78:42 |
They remember not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
|
| 78:43 |
How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,
|
| 78:44 |
And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.
|
| 78:45 |
He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them.
|
| 78:46 |
He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust.
|
| 78:47 |
He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost.
|
| 78:48 |
He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
|
| 78:49 |
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, A band of angels of evil.
|
| 78:50 |
He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence,
|
| 78:51 |
And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
|
| 78:52 |
But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
|
| 78:53 |
And he led them safely, so that they feared not; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
|
| 78:54 |
And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.
|
| 78:55 |
He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
|
| 78:56 |
Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;
|
| 78:57 |
But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
|
| 78:58 |
For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
|
| 78:59 |
When God heard [this], he was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;
|
| 78:60 |
So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men;
|
| 78:61 |
And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the adversary's hand.
|
| 78:62 |
He gave his people over also unto the sword, And was wroth with his inheritance.
|
| 78:63 |
Fire devoured their young men; And their virgins had no marriage-song.
|
| 78:64 |
Their priests fell by the sword; And their widows made no lamentation.
|
| 78:65 |
Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
|
| 78:66 |
And he smote his adversaries backward: He put them to a perpetual reproach.
|
| 78:67 |
Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim,
|
| 78:68 |
But chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved.
|
| 78:69 |
And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established for ever.
|
| 78:70 |
He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds:
|
| 78:71 |
From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
|
| 78:72 |
So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
