Psalms - Chapter: 78


78:1	[Maschil of Asaph.] Giue eare, O my people, to my Lawe: incline your eares to the wordes of my mouth.
78:2	I will open my mouth in a parable: I wil vtter darke sayings of old:
78:3	Which we haue heard, & knowen: and our fathers haue told vs.
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 Iacob, and appointed a Law in Israel, which he commaunded our fathers: that they should make them knowen to their children.
78:6	That the generation to come might know them, euen the children which should be borne: 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 keepe his Commandements,
78:8	And might not bee as their fathers, a stubborne 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 carying bowes, turned backe in the day of battell.
78:10	They kept not the couenant of God: and refused to walke in his Law:
78:11	And forgat his workes: and his wonders that he had shewed them.
78:12	Marueilous things did he in the sight of their fathers: in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
78:13	Hee diuided the Sea, and caused them to passe through: and he made the waters to stand as an heape.
78:14	In the day time also he led them with a cloud: and all the night with a light of fire.
78:15	Hee claue the rockes in the wildernes: and gaue them drinke as out of the great depthes.
78:16	Hee brought streames also out of the rocke, and caused waters to runne downe like riuers.
78:17	And they sinned yet more against him: by prouoking the most High in the wildernes.
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 wildernes?
78:20	Behold, he smote the rocke, that the waters gushed out, & the streames ouerflowed; can he giue bread also? Can he prouide flesh for his people?
78:21	Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth, so a fire was kindled against Iacob: and anger also came vp against Israel.
78:22	Because they beleeued not in God: and trusted not in his saluation:
78:23	Though he had commanded the cloudes from aboue: and opened the doores of heauen:
78:24	And had rained downe Manna vpon them to eate, and had giuen them of the corne of heauen.
78:25	Man did eate Angels food: hee sent them meat to the full.
78:26	He caused an East wind to blow in the heauen: and by his power hee brought in the South wind.
78:27	He rained flesh also vpon them as dust: and feathered soules like as the sand of the sea.
78:28	And hee let it fall in the midst of their campe, round about their habitations.
78:29	So they did eate, & were well filled: for he gaue them their owne desire.
78:30	They were not estranged from their lust: but while their meate was yet in their mouthes,
78:31	The wrath of God came vpon them, and slew the fattest of them: and smote downe the chosen men of Israel.
78:32	For all this they sinned still: and beleeued not for his wondrous works.
78:33	Therefore their dayes did he consume in vanitie, and their yeeres in trouble.
78:34	When hee slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and inquired early after God.
78:35	And they remembred that God was their rocke: and the high God, their redeemer.
78:36	Neuerthelesse they did flatter him with their mouth: and they lyed vnto him with their tongues.
78:37	For their heart was not right with him: neither were they stedfast in his couenant.
78:38	But hee being full of compassion, forgaue their iniquity, and destroyed them not; yea many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.
78:39	For he remembred that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and commeth not againe.
78:40	How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernesse: and grieue him in the desert?
78:41	Yea they turned backe and tempted God: and limited the holy one of Israel.
78:42	They remembred not his hand: nor the day when hee deliuered them from the enemie:
78:43	How he had wrought his signes in Egypt: and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
78:44	And had turned their riuers into blood: and their flouds, that they could not drinke.
78:45	Hee sent diuers sorts of flies among them, which deuoured them: and frogges which destroyed them.
78:46	He gaue also their increase vnto the caterpiller: and their labour vnto the locust.
78:47	He destroyed their vines with haile: and their Sycomore trees with frost.
78:48	He gaue vp their cattel also to the haile: and their flockes to hot thunder-bolts.
78:49	He cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, wrath and indignation, and trouble: by sending euill angels among them.
78:50	He made a way to his anger, hee spared not their soule from death: but gaue their life ouer to the pestilence.
78:51	And smote all the first borne in Egypt: the chiefe of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
78:52	But made his owne people to goe forth like sheepe: and guided them in the wildernesse like a flocke.
78:53	And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea ouerwhelmed their enemies.
78:54	And he brought them to the border of his sanctuarie: euen to this mountaine which his right hand had purchased.
78:55	He cast out the heathen also before them, and diuided them an inheritance by line: and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
78:56	Yet they tempted and prouoked the most high God: and kept not his testimonies:
78:57	But turned backe, and dealt vnfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitfull bowe.
78:58	For they prouoked him to anger with their high places: and moued him to ielousie with their grauen images.
78:59	When God heard this, hee was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
78:60	So that he forsooke the tabernacle of Shiloh: the tent which he placed among men,
78:61	And deliuered his strength into captiuitie: and his glory into the enemies hand.
78:62	He gaue his people ouer also vnto the sword: and was wroth with his inheritance.
78:63	The fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not giuen to mariage.
78:64	Their priests fell by the sword: and their widowes made no lamentation.
78:65	Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleepe: 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 perpetuall reproch.
78:67	Moreouer he refused the tabernacle of Ioseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim.
78:68	But chose the tribe of Iudah: the mount Sion which he loued.
78:69	And he built his sanctuarie like high palaces: like the earth which he hath established for euer.
78:70	He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the sheepe-folds:
78:71	From following the ewes great with young, hee brought him to feed Iacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
78:72	So he fed them according to the integritie of his heart: and guided them by the skilfulnesse of his hands.


78:1	A Psalme to give instruction committed to Asaph. Heare my doctrine, O my people: incline your eares vnto the wordes of my mouth.
78:2	I will open my mouth in a parable: I will declare high sentences of olde.
78:3	Which we haue heard and knowen, and our fathers haue tolde vs.
78:4	Wee will not hide them from their children but to the generation to come we wil shewe the praises of the Lord his power also, and his wonderful woorkes that he hath done:
78:5	How he established a testimonie in Iaakob, and ordeined a Law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they shoulde teache their children:
78:6	That the posteritie might knowe it, and the children, which should be borne, should stand vp, and declare it to their children:
78:7	That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the workes of God but keepe his commandements:
78:8	And not to bee as their fathers, a disobedient and rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirite was not faithfull vnto God.
78:9	The children of Ephraim being armed and shooting with the bowe, turned backe in the day of battell.
78:10	They kept not the couenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,
78:11	And forgate his Actes, and his wonderfull woorkes that he had shewed them.
78:12	Hee did marueilous thinges in the sight of their fathers in the lande of Egypt: euen in the fielde of Zoan.
78:13	He deuided the Sea, and led them through: he made also the waters to stand as an heape.
78:14	In the day time also hee led them with a cloude, and all the night with a light of fire.
78:15	He claue the rockes in the wildernes, and gaue them drinke as of the great depths.
78:16	He brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so that hee made the waters to descend like the riuers.
78:17	Yet they sinned stil against him, and prouoked the Highest in the wildernesse,
78:18	And tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate for their lust.
78:19	They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?
78:20	Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?
78:21	Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel,
78:22	Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.
78:23	Yet he had comanded the clouds aboue, and had opened the doores of heauen,
78:24	And had rained downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and had giuen them of the wheate of heauen.
78:25	Man did eate the bread of Angels: hee sent them meate ynough.
78:26	He caused the Eastwinde to passe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde.
78:27	Hee rained flesh also vpon them as dust, and feathered foule as the sand of the sea.
78:28	And hee made it fall in the middes of their campe euen round about their habitations.
78:29	So they did eate and were well filled: for he gaue them their desire.
78:30	They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,
78:31	When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in Israel.
78:32	For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.
78:33	Therefore their daies did hee consume in vanitie, and their yeeres hastily.
78:34	And when hee slewe them, they sought him and they returned, and sought God earely.
78:35	And they remembred that God was their strength, and the most high God their redeemer.
78:36	But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.
78:37	For their heart was not vpright with him: neither were they faithfull in his couenant.
78:38	Yet he being merciful forgaue their iniquitie, and destroied them not, but oft times called backe his anger, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.
78:39	For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a winde that passeth and commeth not againe.
78:40	How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernes? and grieue him in the desert?
78:41	Yea, they returned, and tempted God, and limited the Holie one of Israel.
78:42	They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he deliuered them from the enemie,
78:43	Nor him that set his signes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan,
78:44	And turned their riuers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drinke.
78:45	Hee sent a swarme of flies among them, which deuoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
78:46	He gaue also their fruites vnto the caterpiller, and their labour vnto the grassehopper.
78:47	He destroied their vines with haile, and their wilde figge trees with the hailestone.
78:48	He gaue their cattell also to the haile, and their flockes to the thunderboltes.
78:49	Hee cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of euill Angels.
78:50	He made a way to his anger: he spared not their soule from death, but gaue their life to the pestilence,
78:51	And smote al the firstborne in Egypt, euen the beginning of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham.
78:52	But hee made his people to goe out like sheepe, and led them in the wildernes like a flocke.
78:53	Yea, he caried them out safely, and they feared not, and the Sea couered their enemies.
78:54	And he brought them vnto the borders of his Sanctuarie: euen to this Mountaine, which his right hand purchased.
78:55	He cast out the heathe also before them, and caused them to fall to the lot of his inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
78:56	Yet they tempted, and prouoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies,
78:57	But turned backe and delt falsely like their fathers: they turned like a deceitfull bowe.
78:58	And they prouoked him to anger with their high places, and mooued him to wrath with their grauen images.
78:59	God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel,
78:60	So that hee forsooke the habitation of Shilo, euen the Tabernacle where hee dwelt among men,
78:61	And deliuered his power into captiuitie, and his beautie into the enemies hand.
78:62	And hee gaue vp his people to the sworde, and was angrie with his inheritance.
78:63	The fire deuoured their chosen men, and their maides were not praised.
78:64	Their Priestes fell by the sworde, and their widowes lamented not.
78:65	But the Lord awaked as one out of sleepe, and as a strong man that after his wine crieth out,
78:66	And smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetuall shame.
78:67	Yet he refused the tabernacle of Ioseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
78:68	But chose the tribe of Iudah, and mount Zion which he loued.
78:69	And he built his Sanctuarie as an high palace, like the earth, which he stablished for euer.
78:70	He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the shepefolds.
78:71	Euen from behinde the ewes with yong brought he him to feede his people in Iaakob, and his inheritance in Israel.
78:72	So he fed them according to the simplicitie of his heart, and guided them by the discretion 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.
