Tell the Coming Generation

78[A Maskil of Asaph.] Give 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; I will utter dark sayings from of old,H6605H6310H4912H5042H2420H6924 3things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us.H8085H3045H1H5608 4We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.H3582H1121H5608H1755H314H8416H3068H5807H6381H6213 5He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children,H6965H5715H3290H7760H8451H3478H6680H1H3045H1121 6that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children,H1755H314H3045H1121H3205H6965H5608H1121 7so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments;H7760H3689H430H7911H4611H410H5341H4687 8and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God.H1H5637H4784H1755H1755H3559H3820H3559H7307H539H410 9The Ephraimites, armed with the bow, turned back on the day of battle.H1121H669H5401H7411H7198H2015H3117H7128 10They did not keep God's covenant, but refused to walk according to his law.H8104H1285H430H3985H3212H8451 11They forgot his works and the wonders that he had shown them.H7911H5949H6381H7200 12In the sight of their fathers he performed wonders in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.H6382H6213H5048H1H776H4714H7704H6814 13He divided the sea and let them pass through it, and made the waters stand like a heap.H1234H3220H5674H4325H5324H5067 14In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a fiery light.H3119H5148H6051H3915H216H784 15He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.H1234H6697H4057H8248H7227H8415 16He made streams come out of the rock and caused waters to flow down like rivers.H3318H5140H5553H4325H3381H5104 17Yet they sinned still more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.H2398H3254H4784H5945H6723 18They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved.H5254H410H3824H7592H400H5315 19They spoke against God, saying, "Can God spread a table in the wilderness?H1696H430H559H3201H410H6186H7979H4057 20He struck the rock so that water gushed out and streams overflowed. Can he also give bread or provide meat for his people?"H5221H6697H4325H2100H5158H7857H3201H5414H3899H3201H3559H7607H5971 21Therefore, when the LORD heard, he was full of wrath; a fire was kindled against Jacob; his anger rose against Israel,H3068H8085H5674H784H5400H3290H639H5927H3478 22because they did not believe in God and did not trust his saving power.H539H430H982H3444 23Yet he commanded the skies above and opened the doors of heaven,H6680H7834H4605H6605H1817H8064 24and he rained down on them manna to eat and gave them the grain of heaven.H4305H4478H398H5414H1715H8064 25Man ate of the bread of the angels; he sent them food in abundance.H376H398H47H3899H7971H6720H7648 26He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens, and by his power he led out the south wind;H6921H5265H8064H5797H5090H8486 27he rained meat on them like dust, winged birds like the sand of the seas;H4305H7607H6083H3671H5775H2344H3220 28he let them fall in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.H5307H7130H4264H5439H4908 29And they ate and were well filled, for he gave them what they craved.H398H3966H7646H935H8378 30But before they had satisfied their craving, while the food was still in their mouths,H2114H8378H400H6310 31the anger of God rose against them, and he killed the strongest of them and laid low the young men of Israel.H639H430H5927H2026H4924H3766H970H3478 32In spite of all this, they still sinned; despite his wonders, they did not believe.H2398H539H6381 33So he made their days vanish like a breath, and their years in terror.H3117H3615H1892H8141H928 34When he killed them, they sought him; they repented and sought God earnestly.H2026H1875H7725H7836H410 35They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God their redeemer.H2142H430H6697H5945H410H1350 36But they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues.H6601H6310H3576H3956 37Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not faithful to his covenant.H3820H3559H539H1285 38Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often and did not stir up all his wrath.H7349H3722H5771H7843H7235H7725H639H7725H5782H2534 39He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.H2142H1320H7307H1980H7725 40How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert!H4100H4784H4057H6087H3452 41They tested God again and again and provoked the Holy One of Israel.H7725H5254H410H8428H6918H3478 42They did not remember his power or the day when he redeemed them from the foe,H2142H3027H3117H6299H6862 43when he performed his signs in Egypt and his marvels in the fields of Zoan.H7760H226H4714H4159H7704H6814 44He turned their rivers to blood, so that they could not drink of their streams.H2015H2975H1818H5140H8354 45He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.H7971H6157H398H6854H7843 46He gave their crops to the destroying locust and the fruit of their labor to the locust.H5414H2981H2625H3018H697 47He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamores with frost.H2026H1612H1259H8256H2602 48He gave over their cattle to the hail and their flocks to thunderbolts.H5462H1165H1259H4735H7565 49He let loose on them his burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, a company of destroying angels.H7971H2740H639H5678H2195H6869H4917H7451H4397 50He made a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death, but gave their lives over to the plague.H6424H5410H639H2820H5315H4194H5462H2416H5462H1698 51He struck down every firstborn in Egypt, the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.H5221H1060H4714H7225H202H168H2526 52Then he led out his people like sheep and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.H5971H5265H6629H5090H4057H5739 53He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.H5148H983H6342H3220H3680H341 54And he brought them to his holy land, to the mountain which his right hand had won.H935H1366H6944H2022H3225H7069 55He drove out nations before them; he apportioned them for a possession and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.H1644H1471H6440H5307H5159H2256H7626H3478H7931H168 56Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God and did not keep his testimonies,H5254H4784H5945H430H8104H5713 57but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers; they twisted like a deceitful bow.H5472H898H1H2015H7423H7198 58For they provoked him to anger with their high places; they moved him to jealousy with their idols.H3707H1116H7065H6456 59When God heard, he was full of wrath, and he utterly rejected Israel.H430H8085H5674H3966H3988H3478 60He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh, the tent where he dwelt among mankind,H5203H4908H7887H168H7931H120 61and delivered his power to captivity, his glory to the hand of the foe.H5414H5797H7628H8597H6862H3027 62He gave his people over to the sword and vented his wrath on his heritage.H5462H5971H5462H2719H5674H5159 63Fire devoured their young men, and their young women had no marriage song.H784H398H970H1330H1984 64Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.H3548H5307H2719H490H1058 65Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a strong man shouting because of wine.H136H3364H3463H1368H7442H3196 66And he put his adversaries to rout; he put them to everlasting shame.H5221H6862H268H5414H5769H2781 67He rejected the tent of Joseph; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,H3988H168H3130H977H7626H669 68but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loves.H977H7626H3063H2022H6726H157 69He built his sanctuary like the high heavens, like the earth, which he has founded forever.H1129H4720H7311H776H3245H5769 70He chose David his servant and took him from the sheepfolds;H977H1732H5650H3947H4356H6629 71from following the nursing ewes he brought him to shepherd Jacob his people, Israel his inheritance.H310H5763H935H7462H3290H5971H3478H5159 72With upright heart he shepherded them and guided them with his skillful hand.H7462H8537H3824H5148H8394H3709
