Remembering God in Times of Trouble

78Listen, my people, to my instruction. Hear the words of my mouth.H4905H623H238H5971H8451H5186H241H561H6310
2I will tell a parable, speaking riddles from long ago?H6605H6310H4912H5042H2420H6924
3things that we have heard and known and that our ancestors related to us.H8085H3045H1H5608
4We will not withhold them from their descendants; we'll declare to the next generation the praises of the Lord?his might and awesome deeds that he has performed.H3582H1121H5608H1755H314H8416H3068H5807H6381H6213
5He established a decree in Jacob, and established the Law in Israel, that he commanded our ancestors to reveal to their childrenH6965H5715H3290H7760H8451H3478H6680H1H3045H1121
6in order that the next generation?children yet to be born?will know them and in turn teach them to their children.H1755H314H3045H1121H3205H6965H5608H1121
7Then they will put their trust in God and they will not forget his awesome deeds. Instead, they will keep his commandments.H7760H3689H430H7911H4611H410H5341H4687
8They will not be like the rebellious generation of their ancestors, a rebellious generation, whose heart was not steadfast, and whose spirits were unfaithful to God.H1H5637H4784H1755H1755H3559H3820H3559H7307H539H410
9The Ephraimites were sharp shooters with the bow, but they retreated in the day of battle.H1121H669H5401H7411H7198H2015H3117H7128
10They did not keep God's covenant, and refused to live by his Law.H8104H1285H430H3985H3212H8451
11They have forgotten what he has done, his awesome deeds that they witnessed.H7911H5949H6381H7200
12He performed marvelous things in the presence of their ancestors in the land of Egypt?in the fields of Zoan.H6382H6213H5048H1H776H4714H7704H6814
13He divided the sea so that they were able to cross; he caused the water to stand in a single location.H1234H3220H5674H4325H5324H5067
14He led them with a cloud during the day, and during the night with light from the fire.H3119H5148H6051H3915H216H784
15He caused the rocks to split in the wilderness, and gave them water as from an abundant sea.H1234H6697H4057H8248H7227H8415
16He brought streams from rock, causing water to flow like a river.H3318H5140H5553H4325H3381H5104
17But time and again, they sinned against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.H2398H3254H4784H5945H6723
18To test God was in their minds, when they demanded food to satisfy their cravings.H5254H410H3824H7592H400H5315
19They spoke against God by asking, "Is God able to prepare a feast in the desert?H1696H430H559H3201H410H6186H7979H4057
20It's true that Moses struck the rock so that water flowed forth and torrents of water gushed out, but is he also able to give bread or to supply meat for his people?"H5221H6697H4325H2100H5158H7857H3201H5414H3899H3201H3559H7607H5971
21Therefore, when the Lord heard this, he was angry, and fire broke out against Jacob. Moreover, his anger flared against Israel,H3068H8085H5674H784H5400H3290H639H5927H3478
22because they didn't believe in God and didn't trust in his deliverance.H539H430H982H3444
23Yet he commanded the skies above and the doors of the heavens to open,H6680H7834H4605H6605H1817H8064
24so that manna rained down on them for food and he sent them the grain of heaven.H4305H4478H398H5414H1715H8064
25Mortal men ate the food of angels; he sent provision to them in abundance.H376H398H47H3899H7971H6720H7648
26He stirred up the east wind in the heavens and drove the south wind by his might.H6921H5265H8064H5797H5090H8486
27He caused meat to rain on them like dust and winged birds as the sand of the sea.H4305H7607H6083H3671H5775H2344H3220
28He caused these to fall in the middle of the camp and all around their tents.H5307H7130H4264H5439H4908
29So they ate and were very satisfied, because he granted their desire.H398H3966H7646H935H8378
30However, before they had fulfilled their desire, while their food was still in their mouths,H2114H8378H400H6310
31the anger of God flared against them, and he killed the strongest men and humbled Israel's young men.H639H430H5927H2026H4924H3766H970H3478
32In spite of all of this, they kept on sinning and didn't believe in his marvelous deeds.H2398H539H6381
33So he made their days end in futility, and their years with sudden terror.H3117H3615H1892H8141H928
34When he struck them, they sought him; they repented, and eagerly sought God.H2026H1875H7725H7836H410
35Then they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God was their deliverer.H2142H430H6697H5945H410H1350
36But they deceived him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues.H6601H6310H3576H3956
37For their hearts weren't committed to him, and they weren't faithful to his covenant.H3820H3559H539H1285
38But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity and didn't destroy them; He restrained his anger and didn't vent all his wrath.H7349H3722H5771H7843H7235H7725H639H7725H5782H2534
39For he remembered that they were only flesh, a passing wind that doesn't return.H2142H1320H7307H1980H7725
40How they rebelled against him in the desert, grieving him in the wilderness!H4100H4784H4057H6087H3452
41They tested God again and again, provoking the Holy One of Israel.H7725H5254H410H8428H6918H3478
42They did not remember his power?the day he delivered them from their adversary,H2142H3027H3117H6299H6862
43when he set his signs in Egypt and his wonders in the plain of Zoan.H7760H226H4714H4159H7704H6814
44He turned their rivers into blood and made their streams undrinkable.H2015H2975H1818H5140H8354
45He sent swarms of insects to bite them and frogs to destroy them.H7971H6157H398H6854H7843
46He gave their crops to caterpillars and what they worked for to locusts.H5414H2981H2625H3018H697
47He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore trees with frost.H2026H1612H1259H8256H2602
48He delivered their beasts to hail and their livestock to lightning bolts.H5462H1165H1259H4735H7565
49He inflicted his burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, sending destroying angels among them.H7971H2740H639H5678H2195H6869H4917H7451H4397
50He blazed a path for his anger; he did not stop short from killing them, but handed them over to pestilence.H6424H5410H639H2820H5315H4194H5462H2416H5462H1698
51He struck every firstborn in Egypt, the first fruits of their manhood in the tents of Ham.H5221H1060H4714H7225H202H168H2526
52Yet he led out his people like sheep, guiding them like a flock in the desert.H5971H5265H6629H5090H4057H5739
53He led them to safety so they would not fear. As for their enemies, the sea covered them.H5148H983H6342H3220H3680H341
54He brought the people to the border of his holy mountain, which he acquired by his might.H935H1366H6944H2022H3225H7069
55He drove out nations before them and allotted their tribal inheritance, settling the tribes of Israel in their tents.H1644H1471H6440H5307H5159H2256H7626H3478H7931H168
56But they tested the Most High God by rebelling against him, and they did not obey his statutes.H5254H4784H5945H430H8104H5713
57They fell away and were as disloyal as their ancestors. They became unreliable, like a defective bow;H5472H898H1H2015H7423H7198
58they angered him with their high places and with their carved images they made him jealous.H3707H1116H7065H6456
59God heard and became furious, and he completely rejected Israel.H430H8085H5674H3966H3988H3478
60He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent that he established among mankind.H5203H4908H7887H168H7931H120
61Then he sent his might into captivity and his glory into the control of the adversary.H5414H5797H7628H8597H6862H3027
62He delivered his people over to the swordand was angry with his possession.H5462H5971H5462H2719H5674H5159
63The young men were consumed by fire, and the virgins had no marriage celebrations.H784H398H970H1330H1984
64The priests fell by the sword, yet their widows couldn't weep.H3548H5307H2719H490H1058
65The Lord awoke as though from sleep, like a mighty warrior stimulated by wine.H136H3364H3463H1368H7442H3196
66He beat back his adversaries, permanently disgracing them.H5221H6862H268H5414H5769H2781
67He rejected the clan of Joseph; and the tribe of Ephraim he did not choose.H3988H168H3130H977H7626H669
68But he chose the tribe of Judah, the mountain of Zion, which he loves.H977H7626H3063H2022H6726H157
69He built his sanctuary, high as the heavens, like the earth that he established forever.H1129H4720H7311H776H3245H5769
70Then he chose his servant David, whom he took from the sheepfold.H977H1732H5650H3947H4356H6629
71He brought him from birthing sheep to care for Jacob, his people, Israel, his possession.H310H5763H935H7462H3290H5971H3478H5159
72David shepherded them with a devoted heart, and led them with skillful hands.H7462H8537H3824H5148H8394H3709
