| 78:1 |
{An instruction. Of Asaph.} 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 riddles from 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 sons, shewing forth to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, and his strength, and his marvellous works which 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], the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell [them] to their children,
|
| 78:7 |
And that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but observe his commandments;
|
| 78:8 |
And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that prepared not their heart, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
|
| 78:9 |
The sons of Ephraim, armed bowmen, 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 doings, and his marvellous works which he had shewn them.
|
| 78:12 |
In the sight of their fathers had he done wonders, in the land of Egypt, the field of Zoan.
|
| 78:13 |
He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; and made the waters to stand as a heap;
|
| 78:14 |
And he led them with a cloud in the daytime, and all the night with the light of fire.
|
| 78:15 |
He clave rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink as out of the depths, abundantly;
|
| 78:16 |
And he brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
|
| 78:17 |
Yet they still went on sinning against him, provoking the Most High in the desert;
|
| 78:18 |
And they tempted God in their heart, by asking meat for their lust;
|
| 78:19 |
And they spoke against God: they said, Is God able to prepare a table in the wilderness?
|
| 78:20 |
Behold, he smote the rock, and waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; is he able to give bread also, or provide flesh for his people?
|
| 78:21 |
Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; and fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel:
|
| 78:22 |
Because they believed not in God, and confided not in his salvation;
|
| 78:23 |
Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of the heavens,
|
| 78:24 |
And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the corn of the heavens.
|
| 78:25 |
Man did eat the bread of the mighty; he sent them provision to the full.
|
| 78:26 |
He caused the east wind to rise in the heavens, and by his strength he brought the south wind;
|
| 78:27 |
And he rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the seas,
|
| 78:28 |
And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations:
|
| 78:29 |
And they did eat, and were well filled; for that they lusted after, he brought to them.
|
| 78:30 |
They were not alienated from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths,
|
| 78:31 |
When the anger of God went up against them; and he slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
|
| 78:32 |
For all this, they sinned still, and believed not in his marvellous works;
|
| 78:33 |
And he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
|
| 78:34 |
When he slew them, then they sought him, and returned and sought early after God;
|
| 78:35 |
And they remembered that God was their rock, and God, the Most High, their redeemer.
|
| 78:36 |
But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied unto him with their tongue;
|
| 78:37 |
For their heart was not firm toward him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
|
| 78:38 |
But he was merciful: he forgave the iniquity, and destroyed [them] not; but many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his fury:
|
| 78:39 |
And he remembered that they were flesh, a breath 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 |
And they turned again and tempted God, and grieved the Holy One of Israel.
|
| 78:42 |
They remembered not his hand, the day when he delivered them from the oppressor,
|
| 78:43 |
How he set his signs in Egypt, and his miracles in the field of Zoan;
|
| 78:44 |
And turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, that they could not drink;
|
| 78:45 |
He sent dog-flies among them, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them;
|
| 78:46 |
And he gave their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust;
|
| 78:47 |
He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with hail-stones;
|
| 78:48 |
And he delivered up their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to thunderbolts.
|
| 78:49 |
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and distress, -- a mission of angels of woes.
|
| 78:50 |
He made a way for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
|
| 78:51 |
And he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the first-fruits of their vigour in the tents of Ham.
|
| 78:52 |
And he made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
|
| 78:53 |
And he led them safely, so that they were without fear; and the sea covered their enemies.
|
| 78:54 |
And he brought them to his holy border, this mountain, which his right hand purchased;
|
| 78:55 |
And he drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
|
| 78:56 |
But they tempted and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not his testimonies,
|
| 78:57 |
And they drew back and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they turned like a deceitful bow.
|
| 78:58 |
And they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
|
| 78:59 |
God heard, and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
|
| 78:60 |
And he forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he had dwelt among men,
|
| 78:61 |
And gave his strength into captivity, and his glory into the hand of the oppressor;
|
| 78:62 |
And delivered up his people unto the sword, and was very wroth with his inheritance:
|
| 78:63 |
The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not praised in [nuptial] song;
|
| 78:64 |
Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.
|
| 78:65 |
Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth aloud by reason of wine;
|
| 78:66 |
And he smote his adversaries in the hinder part, and put them to everlasting reproach.
|
| 78:67 |
And he rejected the tent 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 the heights, like the earth which he hath founded for ever.
|
| 78:70 |
And he chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
|
| 78:71 |
From following the suckling-ewes, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
|
| 78:72 |
And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart, and led them by the skilfulness of his hands.
