78GIVE EAR, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.H4905H623H238H5971H8451H5186H241H561H6310 2I will open my mouth in a parable (in instruction by numerous examples); I will utter dark sayings of old [that hide important truth]--H6605H6310H4912H5042H2420H6924 3Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.H8085H3045H1H5608 4We will not hide them from their children, but we will tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, and His might, and the wonderful works that He has performed.H3582H1121H5608H1755H314H8416H3068H5807H6381H6213 5For He established a testimony (an express precept) in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, commanding our fathers that they should make [the great facts of God's dealings with Israel] known to their children,H6965H5715H3290H7760H8451H3478H6680H1H3045H1121 6That the generation to come might know them, that the children still to be born might arise and recount them to their children,H1755H314H3045H1121H3205H6965H5608H1121 7That they might set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but might keep His commandmentsH7760H3689H430H7911H4611H410H5341H4687 8And might not be as their fathers--a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that set not their hearts aright {nor} prepared their hearts to know God, and whose spirits were not steadfast {and} faithful to God.H1H5637H4784H1755H1755H3559H3820H3559H7307H539H410 9The children of Ephraim were armed and carrying bows, yet they turned back in the day of battle.H1121H669H5401H7411H7198H2015H3117H7128 10They kept not the covenant of God and refused to walk according to His lawH8104H1285H430H3985H3212H8451 11And forgot His works and His wonders that He had shown them.H7911H5949H6381H7200 12Marvelous things did He in the sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan [where Pharaoh resided].H6382H6213H5048H1H776H4714H7704H6814 13He divided the [Red] Sea and caused them to pass through it, and He made the waters stand like a heap.H1234H3220H5674H4325H5324H5067 14In the daytime also He led them with a [pillar of] cloud and all the night with a light of fire.H3119H5148H6051H3915H216H784 15He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink abundantly as out of the deep.H1234H6697H4057H8248H7227H8415 16He brought streams also out of the rock [at Rephidim and Kadesh] and caused waters to run down like rivers.H3318H5140H5553H4325H3381H5104 17Yet they still went on to sin against Him by provoking {and} rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness (in the land of drought).H2398H3254H4784H5945H6723 18And they tempted God in their hearts by asking for food according to their [selfish] desire {and} appetite.H5254H410H3824H7592H400H5315 19Yes, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish [the food for] a table in the wilderness?H1696H430H559H3201H410H6186H7979H4057 20Behold, He did smite the rock so that waters gushed out and the streams overflowed; but can He give bread also? Can He provide flesh for His people?H5221H6697H4325H2100H5158H7857H3201H5414H3899H3201H3559H7607H5971 21Therefore, when the Lord heard, He was [full of] wrath; a fire was kindled against Jacob, His anger mounted up against Israel,H3068H8085H5674H784H5400H3290H639H5927H3478 22Because in God they believed not [they relied not on Him, they adhered not to Him], and they trusted not in His salvation (His power to save).H539H430H982H3444 23Yet He commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of heaven;H6680H7834H4605H6605H1817H8064 24And He rained down upon them manna to eat and gave them heaven's grain.H4305H4478H398H5414H1715H8064 25Everyone ate the bread of the mighty [man ate angels' food]; God sent them meat in abundance.H376H398H47H3899H7971H6720H7648 26He let forth the east wind to blow in the heavens, and by His power He guided the south wind.H6921H5265H8064H5797H5090H8486 27He rained flesh also upon them like the dust, and winged birds [quails] like the sand of the seas.H4305H7607H6083H3671H5775H2344H3220 28And He let [the birds] fall in the midst of their camp, round about their tents.H5307H7130H4264H5439H4908 29So they ate and were well filled; He gave them what they craved {and} lusted after.H398H3966H7646H935H8378 30But scarce had they stilled their craving, and while their meat was yet in their mouths,H2114H8378H400H6310 31The wrath of God came upon them and slew the strongest {and} sturdiest of them and smote down Israel's chosen youth.H639H430H5927H2026H4924H3766H970H3478 32In spite of all this, they sinned still more, for they believed not in (relied not on and adhered not to Him for) His wondrous works.H2398H539H6381 33Therefore their days He consumed like a breath [in emptiness, falsity, and futility] and their years in terror {and} sudden haste.H3117H3615H1892H8141H928 34When He slew [some of] them, [the remainder] inquired after Him diligently, and they repented {and} sincerely sought God [for a time].H2026H1875H7725H7836H410 35And they [earnestly] remembered that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their Redeemer.H2142H430H6697H5945H410H1350 36Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouths and lied to Him with their tongues.H6601H6310H3576H3956 37For their hearts were not right {or} sincere with Him, neither were they faithful {and} steadfast to His covenant.H3820H3559H539H1285 38But He, full of [merciful] 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 {and} indignation.H7349H3722H5771H7843H7235H7725H639H7725H5782H2534 39For He [earnestly] remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that goes and does not return.H2142H1320H7307H1980H7725 40How often they defied {and} rebelled against Him in the wilderness {and} grieved Him in the desert!H4100H4784H4057H6087H3452 41And time and again they turned back {and} tempted God, provoking {and} incensing the Holy One of Israel.H7725H5254H410H8428H6918H3478 42They remembered not [seriously the miracles of the working of] His hand, nor the day when He delivered them from the enemy,H2142H3027H3117H6299H6862 43How He wrought His miracles in Egypt and His wonders in the field of Zoan [where Pharaoh resided]H7760H226H4714H4159H7704H6814 44And turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink from them.H2015H2975H1818H5140H8354 45He sent swarms of [venomous] flies among them which devoured them, and frogs which destroyed them.H7971H6157H398H6854H7843 46He gave also their crops to the caterpillar and [the fruit of] their labor to the locust.H5414H2981H2625H3018H697 47He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore trees with frost {and} [great chunks of] ice.H2026H1612H1259H8256H2602 48He [caused them to shut up their cattle or] gave them up also to the hail and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.H5462H1165H1259H4735H7565 49He let loose upon them the fierceness of His anger, His wrath and indignation and distress, by sending [a mission of] angels of calamity {and} woe among them.H7971H2740H639H5678H2195H6869H4917H7451H4397 50He leveled {and} made a straight path for His anger [to give it free course]; He did not spare [the Egyptian families] from death but gave their beasts over to the pestilence {and} the life [of their eldest] over to the plague.H6424H5410H639H2820H5315H4194H5462H2416H5462H1698 51He smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents [of the land of the sons] of Ham.H5221H1060H4714H7225H202H168H2526 52But [God] led His own people forth like sheep and guided them [with a shepherd's care] like a flock in the wilderness.H5971H5265H6629H5090H4057H5739 53And He led them on safely {and} in confident trust, so that they feared not; but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.H5148H983H6342H3220H3680H341 54And He brought them to His holy border, the border of [Canaan] His sanctuary, even to this mountain [Zion] which His right hand had acquired.H935H1366H6944H2022H3225H7069 55He drove out the nations also before [Israel] and allotted their land as a heritage, measured out {and} partitioned; and He made the tribes of Israel to dwell in the tents of those dispossessed.H1644H1471H6440H5307H5159H2256H7626H3478H7931H168 56Yet they tempted and provoked {and} rebelled against the Most High God and kept not His testimonies.H5254H4784H5945H430H8104H5713 57But they turned back and dealt unfaithfully {and} treacherously like their fathers; they were twisted like a warped {and} deceitful bow [that will not respond to the archer's aim].H5472H898H1H2015H7423H7198 58For they provoked Him to [righteous] anger with their high places [for idol worship] and moved Him to jealousy with their graven images.H3707H1116H7065H6456 59When God heard this, He was full of [holy] wrath; and He utterly rejected Israel, greatly abhorring {and} loathing [her ways],H430H8085H5674H3966H3988H3478 60So that He forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent in which He had dwelt among men [and never returned to it again],H5203H4908H7887H168H7931H120 61And delivered His strength {and} power (the ark of the covenant) into captivity, and His glory into the hands of the foe (the Philistines).H5414H5797H7628H8597H6862H3027 62He gave His people over also to the sword and was wroth with His heritage [Israel].H5462H5971H5462H2719H5674H5159 63The fire [of war] devoured their young men, and their bereaved virgins were not praised in a wedding song.H784H398H970H1330H1984 64Their priests [Hophni and Phinehas] fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation [for the bodies came not back from the scene of battle, and the widow of Phinehas also died that day].H3548H5307H2719H490H1058 65Then the Lord awakened as from sleep, as a strong man whose consciousness of power is heightened by wine.H136H3364H3463H1368H7442H3196 66And He smote His adversaries in the back [as they fled]; He put them to lasting shame {and} reproach.H5221H6862H268H5414H5769H2781 67Moreover, He rejected the tent of Joseph and chose not the tribe of Ephraim [in which the tabernacle had been accustomed to stand].H3988H168H3130H977H7626H669 68But He chose the tribe of Judah [as Israel's leader], Mount Zion, which He loved [to replace Shiloh as His capital].H977H7626H3063H2022H6726H157 69And He built His sanctuary [exalted] like the heights [of the heavens] and like the earth which He established forever.H1129H4720H7311H776H3245H5769 70He chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds;H977H1732H5650H3947H4356H6629 71From tending the ewes that had their young He brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob His people, of Israel His inheritance.H310H5763H935H7462H3290H5971H3478H5159 72So [David] was their shepherd with an upright heart; he guided them by the discernment {and} skillfulness [which controlled] his hands.H7462H8537H3824H5148H8394H3709
