[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] [58] [59] [60] [61] [62] [63] [64] [65] [66] [67] [68] [69] [70] [71] [72] [73] [74] [75] [76] [77] [78] [79] [80] [81] [82] [83] [84] [85] [86] [87] [88] [89] [90] [91] [92] [93] [94] [95] [96] [97] [98] [99] [100] [101] [102] [103] [104] [105] [106] [107] [108] [109] [110] [111] [112] [113] [114] [115] [116] [117] [118] [119] [120] [121] [122] [123] [124] [125] [126] [127] [128] [129] [130] [131] [132] [133] [134] [135] [136] [137] [138] [139] [140] [141] [142] [143] [144] [145] [146] [147] [148] [149] [150]

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