Psalms - Chapter: 78

>
78:1Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
78:2I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
78:3Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
78:4We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
78:5For 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:
78:6That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
78:7That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
78:8And 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.
78:9The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
78:10They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
78:11And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
78:12Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
78:13He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
78:14In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
78:15He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
78:16He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
78:17And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
78:18And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
78:19Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
78:20Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
78:21Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
78:22Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
78:23Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
78:24And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
78:25Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
78:26He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
78:27He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
78:28And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
78:29So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
78:30They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
78:31The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
78:32For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
78:33Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
78:34When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
78:35And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
78:36Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
78:37For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
78:38But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
78:39For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
78:40How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
78:41Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
78:42They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
78:43How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
78:44And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
78:45He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
78:46He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
78:47He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
78:48He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
78:49He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
78:50He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
78:51And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
78:52But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
78:53And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
78:54And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
78:55He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
78:56Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
78:57But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
78:58For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
78:59When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
78:60So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
78:61And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
78:62He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
78:63The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
78:64Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
78:65Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
78:66And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
78:67Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
78:68But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
78:69And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
78:70He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
78:71From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
78:72So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

78:1An Instruction of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law, Incline your ear to sayings of my mouth.
78:2I open with a simile my mouth, I bring forth hidden things of old,
78:3That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have recounted to us.
78:4We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done.
78:5And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons.
78:6So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons,
78:7And place in God their confidence, And forget not the doings of God, But keep His commands.
78:8And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God `is' its spirit.
78:9Sons of Ephraim -- armed bearers of bow, Have turned in a day of conflict.
78:10They have not kept the covenant of God, And in His law they have refused to walk,
78:11And they forget His doings, And His wonders that He shewed them.
78:12Before their fathers He hath done wonders, In the land of Egypt -- the field of Zoan.
78:13He cleft a sea, and causeth them to pass over, Yea, He causeth waters to stand as a heap.
78:14And leadeth them with a cloud by day, And all the night with a light of fire.
78:15He cleaveth rocks in a wilderness, And giveth drink -- as the great deep.
78:16And bringeth out streams from a rock, And causeth waters to come down as rivers.
78:17And they add still to sin against Him, To provoke the Most High in the dry place.
78:18And they try God in their heart, To ask food for their lust.
78:19And they speak against God -- they said: `Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?'
78:20Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. `Also -- bread `is' He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?'
78:21Therefore hath Jehovah heard, And He sheweth Himself wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also hath gone up against Israel,
78:22For they have not believed in God, Nor have they trusted in His salvation.
78:23And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the heavens He hath opened.
78:24And He raineth on them manna to eat, Yea, corn of heaven He hath given to them.
78:25Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to them to satiety.
78:26He causeth an east wind to journey in the heavens, And leadeth by His strength a south wind,
78:27And He raineth on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the seas -- winged fowl,
78:28And causeth `it' to fall in the midst of His camp, Round about His tabernacles.
78:29And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And their desire He bringeth to them.
78:30They have not been estranged from their desire, Yet `is' their food in their mouth,
78:31And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.
78:32With all this they have sinned again, And have not believed in His wonders.
78:33And He consumeth in vanity their days, And their years in trouble.
78:34If He slew them, then they sought Him, And turned back, and sought God earnestly,
78:35And they remember that God `is' their rock, And God Most High their redeemer.
78:36And -- they deceive Him with their mouth, And with their tongue do lie to Him,
78:37And their heart hath not been right with Him, And they have not been stedfast in His covenant.
78:38And He -- the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And waketh not up all His fury.
78:39And He remembereth that they `are' flesh, A wind going on -- and it returneth not.
78:40How often do they provoke Him in the wilderness, Grieve Him in the desolate place?
78:41Yea, they turn back, and try God, And the Holy One of Israel have limited.
78:42They have not remembered His hand The day He ransomed them from the adversary.
78:43When He set His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zoan,
78:44And He turneth to blood their streams, And their floods they drink not.
78:45He sendeth among them the beetle, and it consumeth them, And the frog, and it destroyeth them,
78:46And giveth to the caterpillar their increase, And their labour to the locust.
78:47He destroyeth with hail their vine, And their sycamores with frost,
78:48And delivereth up to the hail their beasts, And their cattle to the burning flames.
78:49He sendeth on them the fury of His anger, Wrath, and indignation, and distress -- A discharge of evil messengers.
78:50He pondereth a path for His anger, He kept not back their soul from death, Yea, their life to the pestilence He delivered up.
78:51And He smiteth every first-born in Egypt, The first-fruit of the strong in tents of Ham.
78:52And causeth His people to journey as a flock, And guideth them as a drove in a wilderness,
78:53And He leadeth them confidently, And they have not been afraid, And their enemies hath the sea covered.
78:54And He bringeth them in unto the border of His sanctuary, This mountain His right hand had got,
78:55And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents,
78:56And they tempt and provoke God Most High, And His testimonies have not kept.
78:57And they turn back, And deal treacherously like their fathers, They have been turned like a deceitful bow,
78:58And make Him angry with their high places, And with their graven images make Him zealous,
78:59God hath heard, and sheweth Himself wroth. And kicketh exceedingly against Israel.
78:60And He leaveth the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had placed among men,
78:61And He giveth His strength to captivity, And His beauty into the hand of an adversary,
78:62And delivereth up to the sword His people, And with His inheritance shewed Himself angry.
78:63His young men hath fire consumed, And His virgins have not been praised.
78:64His priests by the sword have fallen, And their widows weep not.
78:65And the Lord waketh as a sleeper, As a mighty one crying aloud from wine.
78:66And He smiteth His adversaries backward, A reproach age-during He hath put on them,
78:67And He kicketh against the tent of Joseph, And on the tribe of Ephraim hath not fixed.
78:68And He chooseth the tribe of Judah, With mount Zion that He loved,
78:69And buildeth His sanctuary as a high place, Like the earth, He founded it to the age.
78:70And He fixeth on David His servant, And taketh him from the folds of a flock,
78:71From behind suckling ones He hath brought him in, To rule over Jacob His people, And over Israel His inheritance.
78:72And he ruleth them according to the integrity of his heart, And by the skilfulness of his hands leadeth them!
