| 78:1 |
Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your ear 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, showing 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 [who] 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 steadfast 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 forgot his works, and his wonders that he had shown them.
|
| 78:12 |
Marvelous 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 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 cleaved 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 food for their desire.
|
| 78:19 |
Yes, they spoke 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 ate angels' food: he sent them food 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, around their habitations.
|
| 78:29 |
So they ate, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
|
| 78:30 |
They were not estranged from their desire: 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 inquired early after God.
|
| 78:35 |
And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
|
| 78:36 |
Nevertheless they flattered him with their mouth, and they lied to him with their tongues.
|
| 78:37 |
For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant.
|
| 78:38 |
But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yes, many a time he turned 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 |
Yes, 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 to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.
|
| 78:47 |
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore 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 first-born 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 over his people also to 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 part: 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 sheep-folds:
|
| 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 skillfulness of his hands.
