Today's New International Version Help
78My people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.H4905H623H238H5971H8451H5186H241H561H6310
2I will open my mouth with a parable; I will teach you lessons from the past—H6605H6310H4912H5042H2420H6924
3things we have heard and known, things our ancestors have told us.H8085H3045H1H5608
4We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.H3582H1121H5608H1755H314H8416H3068H5807H6381H6213
5He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children,H6965H5715H3290H7760H8451H3478H6680H1H3045H1121
6so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.H1755H314H3045H1121H3205H6965H5608H1121
7Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.H7760H3689H430H7911H4611H410H5341H4687
8They would not be like their ancestors—a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him.H1H5637H4784H1755H1755H3559H3820H3559H7307H539H410
9The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows, 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 wonders he had shown them.H7911H5949H6381H7200
12He did miracles in the sight of their ancestors in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.H6382H6213H5048H1H776H4714H7704H6814
13He divided the sea and led them through; he made the water stand up like a wall.H1234H3220H5674H4325H5324H5067
14He guided them with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night.H3119H5148H6051H3915H216H784
15He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them water as abundant as the seas;H1234H6697H4057H8248H7227H8415
16he brought streams out of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers.H3318H5140H5553H4325H3381H5104
17But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.H2398H3254H4784H5945H6723
18They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved.H5254H410H3824H7592H400H5315
19They spoke against God; they said, "Can God really spread a table in the wilderness?H1696H430H559H3201H410H6186H7979H4057
20True, he struck the rock, and water gushed out, streams flowed abundantly, but can he also give us bread? Can he supply meat for his people?"H5221H6697H4325H2100H5158H7857H3201H5414H3899H3201H3559H7607H5971
21When the LORD heard them, he was furious; his fire broke out against Jacob, and his wrath rose against Israel,H3068H8085H5674H784H5400H3290H639H5927H3478
22for they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance.H539H430H982H3444
23Yet he gave a command to the skies above and opened the doors of the heavens;H6680H7834H4605H6605H1817H8064
24he rained down manna for the people to eat, he gave them the grain of heaven.H4305H4478H398H5414H1715H8064
25Human beings ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat.H376H398H47H3899H7971H6720H7648
26He let loose the east wind from the heavens and by his power made the south wind blow.H6921H5265H8064H5797H5090H8486
27He rained meat down on them like dust, birds like sand on the seashore.H4305H7607H6083H3671H5775H2344H3220
28He made them come down inside their camp, all around their tents.H5307H7130H4264H5439H4908
29They ate till they were gorged—he had given them what they craved.H398H3966H7646H935H8378
30But before they turned from what they craved, even while the food was still in their mouths,H2114H8378H400H6310
31God's anger rose against them; he put to death the sturdiest among them, cutting down the young men of Israel.H639H430H5927H2026H4924H3766H970H3478
32In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; in spite of his wonders, they did not believe.H2398H539H6381
33So he ended their days in futility and their years in terror.H3117H3615H1892H8141H928
34Whenever God slew them, they would seek him; they eagerly turned to him again.H2026H1875H7725H7836H410
35They remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.H2142H430H6697H5945H410H1350
36But then they would flatter him with their mouths, lying to him with their tongues;H6601H6310H3576H3956
37their hearts were not loyal to him, they were not faithful to his covenant.H3820H3559H539H1285
38Yet he was merciful; he forgave their iniquities and did not destroy them. Time after time he restrained his anger and did not stir up his full wrath.H7349H3722H5771H7843H7235H7725H639H7725H5782H2534
39He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.H2142H1320H7307H1980H7725
40How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the wasteland!H4100H4784H4057H6087H3452
41Again and again they put God to the test; they vexed the Holy One of Israel.H7725H5254H410H8428H6918H3478
42They did not remember his power—the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,H2142H3027H3117H6299H6862
43the day he displayed his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the region of Zoan.H7760H226H4714H4159H7704H6814
44He turned their river into blood; they could not drink from their streams.H2015H2975H1818H5140H8354
45He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.H7971H6157H398H6854H7843
46He gave their crops to the grasshopper, their produce to the locust.H5414H2981H2625H3018H697
47He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore-figs with sleet.H2026H1612H1259H8256H2602
48He gave over their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning.H5462H1165H1259H4735H7565
49He unleashed against them his hot anger, his wrath, indignation and hostility—a band of destroying angels.H7971H2740H639H5678H2195H6869H4917H7451H4397
50He prepared a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death but gave them over to the plague.H6424H5410H639H2820H5315H4194H5462H2416H5462H1698
51He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt, the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.H5221H1060H4714H7225H202H168H2526
52But he brought his people out like a flock; he led them like sheep through the wilderness.H5971H5265H6629H5090H4057H5739
53He guided them safely, so they were unafraid; but the sea engulfed their enemies.H5148H983H6342H3220H3680H341
54And so he brought them to the border of his holy land, to the hill country his right hand had taken.H935H1366H6944H2022H3225H7069
55He drove out nations before them and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance; he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.H1644H1471H6440H5307H5159H2256H7626H3478H7931H168
56But they put God to the test and rebelled against the Most High; they did not keep his statutes.H5254H4784H5945H430H8104H5713
57Like their ancestors they were disloyal and faithless, as unreliable as a faulty bow.H5472H898H1H2015H7423H7198
58They angered him with their high places; they aroused his jealousy with their idols.H3707H1116H7065H6456
59When God heard them, he was furious; he rejected Israel completely.H430H8085H5674H3966H3988H3478
60He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent he had set up among mortals.H5203H4908H7887H168H7931H120
61He sent the ark of his might into captivity, his splendor into the hands of the enemy.H5414H5797H7628H8597H6862H3027
62He gave his people over to the sword; he was furious with his inheritance.H5462H5971H5462H2719H5674H5159
63Fire consumed their young men, and their young women had no wedding songs;H784H398H970H1330H1984
64their priests were put to the sword, and their widows could not weep.H3548H5307H2719H490H1058
65Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.H136H3364H3463H1368H7442H3196
66He beat back his enemies; he put them to everlasting shame.H5221H6862H268H5414H5769H2781
67Then he rejected the tents of Joseph, he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;H3988H168H3130H977H7626H669
68but he chose 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 sheep pens;H977H1732H5650H3947H4356H6629
71from tending the sheep he brought him to be the shepherd of his people Jacob, of Israel his inheritance.H310H5763H935H7462H3290H5971H3478H5159
72And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.H7462H8537H3824H5148H8394H3709
