78A maskil of Asaph. O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.H4905H623H238H5971H8451H5186H241H561H6310 2I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old—H6605H6310H4912H5042H2420H6924 3what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us.H8085H3045H1H5608 4We will not hide them from their children; 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 forefathers 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 forefathers—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 fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.H6382H6213H5048H1H776H4714H7704H6814 13He divided the sea and led them through; he made the water stand firm 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 desert 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 desert against the Most High.H2398H3254H4784H5945H6723 18They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved.H5254H410H3824H7592H400H5315 19They spoke against God, saying, "Can God spread a table in the desert?H1696H430H559H3201H410H6186H7979H4057 20When he struck the rock, water gushed out, and streams flowed abundantly. But can he also give us food? Can he supply meat for his people?"H5221H6697H4325H2100H5158H7857H3201H5414H3899H3201H3559H7607H5971 21When the LORD heard them, he was very angry; 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 25Men 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 led forth the south wind by his power.H6921H5265H8064H5797H5090H8486 27He rained meat down on them like dust, flying birds like sand on the seashore.H4305H7607H6083H3671H5775H2344H3220 28He made them come down inside their camp, all around their tents.H5307H7130H4264H5439H4908 29They ate till they had more than enough, for he had given them what they craved.H398H3966H7646H935H8378 30But before they turned from the food they craved, even while it 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 desert 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 miraculous signs in Egypt, his wonders in the region of Zoan.H7760H226H4714H4159H7704H6814 44He turned their rivers to 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 desert.H5971H5265H6629H5090H4057H5739 53He guided them safely, so they were unafraid; but the sea engulfed their enemies.H5148H983H6342H3220H3680H341 54Thus 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 fathers 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 very angry; he rejected Israel completely.H430H8085H5674H3966H3988H3478 60He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent he had set up among men.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 very angry with his inheritance.H5462H5971H5462H2719H5674H5159 63Fire consumed their young men, and their maidens 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 man 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
