Psalms - Chapter: 78


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, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful 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 which should be born; who should arise and declare 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 forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed 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 divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
78:14	In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
78:15	He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
78:16	He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
78:17	And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
78:18	And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
78:19	Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
78:20	Behold, 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?
78:21	Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
78:22	Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
78:23	Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
78:24	And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
78:25	Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
78:26	He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
78:27	He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
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: for he gave them their own desire;
78:30	They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
78:31	The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
78:32	For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
78:33	Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
78:34	When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
78:35	And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
78:36	Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
78:37	For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
78:38	But 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.
78:39	For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
78:40	How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
78:41	Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
78:42	They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
78:43	How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
78:44	And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
78:45	He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
78:46	He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
78:47	He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
78:48	He gave up 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, by sending evil angels among them.
78:50	He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
78:51	And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
78:52	But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
78:53	And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
78:54	And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
78:55	He 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.
78:56	Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
78:57	But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully 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 enemy's hand.
78:62	He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
78:63	The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
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, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
78:66	And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
78:67	Moreover he refused the tabernacle 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 high palaces, 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 great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
78:72	So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.


78:1	An instruccyon of Asaph. Heare my lawe, O my people, enclyne youre eares vnto the wordes of my mouth.
78:2	I wyll open my mouth in a parable, I wyll declare hard sentences of olde.
78:3	Whych we haue herde and knowne, and soche as oure fathers haue tolde vs.
78:4	That we shulde not hyde them from the chyldren of the generacyons to come: but to shewe the honour of the Lorde, hys might, and wonderfull workes that he hath done.
78:5	He made a couenaunt with Iacob, and gaue Israel a lawe which he commaunded oure forefathers to teache their children.
78:6	That their posterite myght knowe it, and the children which were yet vnborne.
78:7	To thintent that when they came vp, they myght shewe their chyldren the same.
78:8	That they myght put their trust in God, and not to forget the workes of God, but to kepe his commaundementes.
78:9	And not to be as their forefathers a faythlesse & stubburne generacyon, a generacyon that set not their herte a ryght, and whose sprete cleued not stedfastly vnto God.
78:10	Lyke as the chyldren of Ephraim, which beyng harnessed and caryeng bowes, turned them selues backe in the daye of batayll.
78:11	They kepte not the couenaunt of God, and wolde not walke in hys lawe.
78:12	But forgat what he had done, and the wonderfull worckes that he had shewed for them.
78:13	Maruelous thynges dyd he in the syght of oure fathers in the lande of Egypte, euen in the felde of Zoan.
78:14	He deuyded the see, and let them go thorow: he made the waters to stande on a heape.
78:15	In the daye tyme also he led them wyth a cloude, and all the nyght thorow wt a light of fyre.
78:16	He cloaue the hard rockes in the wyldernesse, and gaue them drincke therof, as it had bene out of the greate deapth.
78:17	He brought waters out of the stony rocke, so that it gusshed out lyke the ryuers.
78:18	Yet for all this they synned more agaynst hym, and prouoked the moost hyest in the wyldernes.
78:19	They tempted God in theyr hertes, and requyred meate for theyr lust.
78:20	They spake agaynst God also sayenge: Shall God prepare a table in the wildernesse?
78:21	He smote the stony rocke in dede, that the water gushed out, and the streames flowed withall: but can he geue bred also, or prouyde flesh for his people?
78:22	When the Lord hearde thys, he was wroth: so the fyre was kyndled in Iacob, & ther came vp heuy dyspleasure agaynst Israel.
78:23	Because they beleued not in God, and put not their truste in his helpe.
78:24	So he commaunded the cloudes aboue, and opened the dores of heauen.
78:25	He rayned downe Manna also vpon them, for to eate, and gaue them foode from heauen.
78:26	So man dyd eate angels fode, for he sent them meate ynough.
78:27	He caused the East wynd to blowe vnder the heauen, and thorow his power he brought in the south west wynde.
78:28	He rayned flesh vpon them as thicke as dust, and fethered foules lyke as the sande of the see.
78:29	He let it fall amonge their tentes euen rounde aboute their habytacyon.
78:30	So they dyd eate, and were well fylled, for he gaue them their awne desyre. They were not disapoynted of their lust.
78:31	But whyle the meate was yet in theyr mouthes: the heuy wrath of God came vpon them, & slewe the welthiest of them, yee, and smote downe, the chosen men that were in Israel.
78:32	But for all this they synned yet more, and beleued not hys wonderous worckes.
78:33	Therfore, their dayes dyd he consume in vanyte, and their yeares in trouble.
78:34	When he slewe them, they sought hym, and turned them early and enquered after God.
78:35	And they remembred that God was their strength, and that the hye God was their redemer.
78:36	Neuerthelesse, they dyd but flatter hym wyth their mouth, and dyssembled with him in their tonge.
78:37	For their herte was not whole wyth hym, nether contynued they stedfast in hys couenaunt.
78:38	But he was so mercyfull, that he forgaue theyr mysdedes, and destroyed them not.
78:39	Yee, many a tyme turned he hys wrath awaye, and wolde not suffre is whole dyspleasure to aryse.
78:40	For he consydered that they were but flesh: and that they were, euen a wynde that passeth awaye, and commeth not agayne.
78:41	Many a tyme dyd they prouoke him in the wyldernesse, and greued him in the deserte.
78:42	They turned backe, & tempted God, & moued the holy one in Israel.
78:43	They thought not of hys hand, and of the daye when he delyuered them from the hande of the enemye.
78:44	How he had wrought hys myracles in Egypte, and his wondres in the felde of Zoan.
78:45	He turned their waters into bloude, so that they myght not dryncke of the ryuers.
78:46	He sent lyce amonge them, and deuoured them vp and frogges to destroye them.
78:47	He gaue their frutes vnto the catyr pyller, and their laboure vnto the greshopper.
78:48	He destroyed their vynes wt hayle stones, and their mulbery trees wyth the frost.
78:49	He smote their catel also with haylestones, & their flockes with hote thonder boltes.
78:50	He cast vpon them the furyousnesse of hys wrath, anger, displeasure and trouble, and sent euell angels among them.
78:51	He made awaye to his indignacion, and spared not their soule from death, but gaue their lyfe ouer to the pestylence.
78:52	And smote all the fyrst borne in Egypt, the moost principall and myghtyest in the dwellynges of Ham.
78:53	But as for hys awne people, he lead them forth lyke shepe, and caryed them in the wyldernesse lyke a flocke
78:54	He brought them out safely, that they shulde not feare, & ouer whelmed their enemyes with the see.
78:55	And brought them within the borders of hys Sanctuary: euen to this mountayne, whych he purchased with hys ryght hande.
78:56	He cast out the Heathen also before them, caused their lande to be denyded amonge them for an heritage, and made the trybes of Israell to dwell in their tentes.
78:57	So they tempted and displeased the most hye God, and kepte not hys testimonyes.
78:58	But turned their backes, and fell awaye lyke their forfathers, startynge asyde lyke a broken bowe.
78:59	For they greued hym with their hyll alters, and prouoked him to displeasure wyth their ymages.
78:60	When God hearde this, he was wroth, and toke sore dyspleasure at Israel.
78:61	So that he forsoke the Tabernacle in Silo, euen the tent that he had pitched among men.
78:62	He delyuered their power into captiuyte, and their bewtye into the enemyes hande.
78:63	He gaue his people ouer also into the swerde, and was wroth wyth hys inherytaunce.
78:64	The fyre consumed their yong men, and their maydens were not geuen to mariage.
78:65	Their Preastes were slayne wt the swerde, and there were no wyddowes to make lamentacion.
78:66	So the Lorde awaked as one out of slepe, and lyke a gyaunte refreshed wyth wyne.
78:67	He smote his enemyes in the hynder partes, and put them to a perpetuall shame.
78:68	He refused the tabernacle of Ioseph, and chose not the trybe of Ephraim.
78:69	But chose the trybe of Iuda, euen the hyll of Sion which he loued.
78:70	And there he buylded hys temple on hye, and layed the foundacion of it lyke the grounde, whych he hath made continually.
78:71	He chose Dauid also his seruaunt, and toke him awaye from the shepe foldes.
78:72	As he was folowinge the ewes greate with yonge ones, he toke hym, that he myght fede Iacob hys people, and Israel his enheritaunce. So he fed them with a faythfull and true hert, & ruled them prudently withall his power.
