Lessons from Israel’s Past

78[A Maskil of Asaph.] My people, hear my instruction; listen to what I say.H4905H623H238H5971H8451H5186H241H561H6310
2I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past—H6605H6310H4912H5042H2420H6924
3things we have heard and known and that our fathers have passed down to us.H8085H3045H1H5608
4We must not hide them from their children, but must tell a future generation the praises of the LORD, His might, and the wonderful works He has performed.H3582H1121H5608H1755H314H8416H3068H5807H6381H6213
5He established a testimony in Jacob and set up a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers to teach to their childrenH6965H5715H3290H7760H8451H3478H6680H1H3045H1121
6so that a future generation— children yet to be born— might know. They were to rise and tell their childrenH1755H314H3045H1121H3205H6965H5608H1121
7so that they might put their confidence in God and not forget God's works, but keep His commandments.H7760H3689H430H7911H4611H410H5341H4687
8Then they would not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not loyal and whose spirit was not faithful to God.H1H5637H4784H1755H1755H3559H3820H3559H7307H539H410
9The Ephraimite archers turned back on the day of battle.H1121H669H5401H7411H7198H2015H3117H7128
10They did not keep God's covenant and refused to live by His law.H8104H1285H430H3985H3212H8451
11They forgot what He had done, the wonderful works He had shown them.H7911H5949H6381H7200
12He worked wonders in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, the region of Zoan.H6382H6213H5048H1H776H4714H7704H6814
13He split the sea and brought them across; the water stood firm like a wall.H1234H3220H5674H4325H5324H5067
14He led them with a cloud by day and with a fiery light throughout the night.H3119H5148H6051H3915H216H784
15He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the depths.H1234H6697H4057H8248H7227H8415
16He brought streams out of the stone and made water flow down like rivers.H3318H5140H5553H4325H3381H5104
17But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.H2398H3254H4784H5945H6723
18They deliberately tested God, demanding the food they craved.H5254H410H3824H7592H400H5315
19They spoke against God, saying, "Is God able to provide food in the wilderness?H1696H430H559H3201H410H6186H7979H4057
20Look! He struck the rock and water gushed out; torrents overflowed. But can He also provide bread or furnish meat for His people?"H5221H6697H4325H2100H5158H7857H3201H5414H3899H3201H3559H7607H5971
21Therefore, the LORD heard and became furious; then fire broke out against Jacob, and anger flared up against IsraelH3068H8085H5674H784H5400H3290H639H5927H3478
22because they did not believe God or rely on His salvation.H539H430H982H3444
23He gave a command to the clouds above and opened the doors of heaven.H6680H7834H4605H6605H1817H8064
24He rained manna for them to eat; He gave them grain from heaven.H4305H4478H398H5414H1715H8064
25People ate the bread of angels. He sent them an abundant supply of food.H376H398H47H3899H7971H6720H7648
26He made the east wind blow in the skies and drove the south wind by His might.H6921H5265H8064H5797H5090H8486
27He rained meat on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the seas.H4305H7607H6083H3671H5775H2344H3220
28He made [them] fall in His camp, all around His tent.H5307H7130H4264H5439H4908
29They ate and were completely satisfied, for He gave them what they craved.H398H3966H7646H935H8378
30Before they had satisfied their desire, while the food was still in their mouths,H2114H8378H400H6310
31God's anger flared up against them, and He killed some of their best men. He struck down Israel's choice young men.H639H430H5927H2026H4924H3766H970H3478
32Despite all this, they kept sinning and did not believe His wonderful works.H2398H539H6381
33He made their days end in futility, their years in sudden disaster.H3117H3615H1892H8141H928
34When He killed [some of] them, [the rest] began to seek Him; they repented and searched for God.H2026H1875H7725H7836H410
35They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their Redeemer.H2142H430H6697H5945H410H1350
36But they deceived Him with their mouths, they lied to Him with their tongues,H6601H6310H3576H3956
37their hearts were insincere toward Him, and they were unfaithful to His covenant.H3820H3559H539H1285
38Yet He was compassionate; He atoned for [their] guilt and did not destroy [them]. He often turned His anger aside and did not unleash all His wrath.H7349H3722H5771H7843H7235H7725H639H7725H5782H2534
39He remembered that they were [only] flesh, a wind that passes and does not return.H2142H1320H7307H1980H7725
40How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert.H4100H4784H4057H6087H3452
41They constantly tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.H7725H5254H410H8428H6918H3478
42They did not remember His power [shown] on the day He redeemed them from the foe,H2142H3027H3117H6299H6862
43when He performed His miraculous signs in Egypt and His marvels in the region of Zoan.H7760H226H4714H4159H7704H6814
44He turned their rivers into blood, and they could not drink from their streams.H2015H2975H1818H5140H8354
45He sent among them swarms of flies, which fed on them, and frogs, which devastated them.H7971H6157H398H6854H7843
46He gave their crops to the caterpillar and the fruit of their labor to the locust.H5414H2981H2625H3018H697
47He killed their vines with hail and their sycamore-fig trees with a flood.H2026H1612H1259H8256H2602
48He handed over their livestock to hail and their cattle to lightning bolts.H5462H1165H1259H4735H7565
49He sent His burning anger against them: fury, indignation, and calamity— a band of deadly messengers.H7971H2740H639H5678H2195H6869H4917H7451H4397
50He cleared a path for His anger. He did not spare them from death, but delivered their lives to the plague.H6424H5410H639H2820H5315H4194H5462H2416H5462H1698
51He struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the first progeny of the tents of Ham.H5221H1060H4714H7225H202H168H2526
52He led His people out like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.H5971H5265H6629H5090H4057H5739
53He led them safely, and they were not afraid; but the sea covered their enemies.H5148H983H6342H3220H3680H341
54He brought them to His holy land, to the mountain His right hand acquired.H935H1366H6944H2022H3225H7069
55He drove out nations before them. He apportioned their inheritance by lot and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.H1644H1471H6440H5307H5159H2256H7626H3478H7931H168
56But they rebelliously tested the Most High God, for they did not keep His decrees.H5254H4784H5945H430H8104H5713
57They treacherously turned away like their fathers; they became warped like a faulty bow.H5472H898H1H2015H7423H7198
58They enraged Him with their high places and provoked His jealousy with their carved images.H3707H1116H7065H6456
59God heard and became furious; He completely rejected Israel.H430H8085H5674H3966H3988H3478
60He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where He resided among men.H5203H4908H7887H168H7931H120
61He gave up His strength to captivity and His splendor to the hand of a foe.H5414H5797H7628H8597H6862H3027
62He surrendered His people to the sword because He was enraged with His heritage.H5462H5971H5462H2719H5674H5159
63Fire consumed His chosen young men, and His young women had no wedding songs.H784H398H970H1330H1984
64His priests fell by the sword, but the widows could not lament.H3548H5307H2719H490H1058
65Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep, like a warrior from the effects of wine.H136H3364H3463H1368H7442H3196
66He beat back His foes; He gave them lasting shame.H5221H6862H268H5414H5769H2781
67He rejected the tent of Joseph and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.H3988H168H3130H977H7626H669
68He chose instead the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.H977H7626H3063H2022H6726H157
69He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that He established forever.H1129H4720H7311H776H3245H5769
70He chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds;H977H1732H5650H3947H4356H6629
71He brought him from tending ewes to be shepherd over His people Jacob— over Israel, His inheritance.H310H5763H935H7462H3290H5971H3478H5159
72He shepherded them with a pure heart and guided them with his skillful hands.H7462H8537H3824H5148H8394H3709
