Psalms 78:1-72

78:1
<
<Maschil <04905> (8688)
of Asaph
<0623>.>>
Give ear
<0238> (8685)_,
O my people
<05971>_,
[to] my law
<08451>_:
incline
<05186> (8685)
your ears
<0241>
to the words
<0561>
of my mouth
<06310>_.
{Maschil...: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction}
78:2
I will open
<06605> (8799)
my mouth
<06310>
in a parable
<04912>_:
I will utter
<05042> (8686)
dark sayings
<02420>
of old
<06924>_:
78:3
Which we have heard
<08085> (8804)
and known
<03045> (8799)_,
and our fathers
<01>
have told
<05608> (8765)
us.
78:4
We will not hide
<03582> (8762)
[them] from their children
<01121>_,
shewing
<05608> (8764)
to the generation
<01755>
to come
<0314>
the praises
<08416>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and his strength
<05807>_,
and his wonderful works
<06381> (8737)
that he hath done
<06213> (8804)_.
78:5
For he established
<06965> (8686)
a testimony
<05715>
in Jacob
<03290>_,
and appointed
<07760> (8804)
a law
<08451>
in Israel
<03478>_,
which he commanded
<06680> (8765)
our fathers
<01>_,
that they should make them known
<03045> (8687)
to their children
<01121>_:
78:6
That the generation
<01755>
to come
<0314>
might know
<03045> (8799)
[them, even] the children
<01121>
[which] should be born
<03205> (8735)_;
[who] should arise
<06965> (8799)
and declare
<05608> (8762)
[them] to their children
<01121>_:
78:7
That they might set
<07760> (8799)
their hope
<03689>
in God
<0430>_,
and not forget
<07911> (8799)
the works
<04611>
of God
<0410>_,
but keep
<05341> (8799)
his commandments
<04687>_:
78:8
And might not be as their fathers
<01>_,
a stubborn
<05637> (8802)
and rebellious
<04784> (8802)
generation
<01755>_;
a generation
<01755>
[that] set
<03559> (0)
not their heart
<03820>
aright
<03559> (8689)_,
and whose spirit
<07307>
was not stedfast
<0539> (8738)
with God
<0410>_.
{that...: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
78:9
The children
<01121>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
[being] armed
<05401> (8802)_,
[and] carrying
<07411> (8802)
bows
<07198>_,
turned back
<02015> (8804)
in the day
<03117>
of battle
<07128>_.
{carrying: Heb. throwing forth}
78:10
They kept
<08104> (8804)
not the covenant
<01285>
of God
<0430>_,
and refused
<03985> (8765)
to walk
<03212> (8800)
in his law
<08451>_;
78:11
And forgat
<07911> (8799)
his works
<05949>_,
and his wonders
<06381> (8737)
that he had shewed
<07200> (8689)
them.
78:12
Marvellous things
<06382>
did
<06213> (8804)
he in the sight
<05048>
of their fathers
<01>_,
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
[in] the field
<07704>
of Zoan
<06814>_.
78:13
He divided
<01234> (8804)
the sea
<03220>_,
and caused them to pass through
<05674> (8686)_;
and he made the waters
<04325>
to stand
<05324> (8686)
as an heap
<05067>_.
78:14
In the daytime
<03119>
also he led
<05148> (8686)
them with a cloud
<06051>_,
and all the night
<03915>
with a light
<0216>
of fire
<0784>_.
78:15
He clave
<01234> (8762)
the rocks
<06697>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
and gave [them] drink
<08248> (8686)
as [out of] the great
<07227>
depths
<08415>_.
78:16
He brought
<03318> (8686)
streams
<05140> (8802)
also out of the rock
<05553>_,
and caused waters
<04325>
to run down
<03381> (8686)
like rivers
<05104>_.
78:17
And they sinned
<02398> (8800)
yet more
<03254> (8686)
against him by provoking
<04784> (8687)
the most High
<05945>
in the wilderness
<06723>_.
78:18
And they tempted
<05254> (8762)
God
<0410>
in their heart
<03824>
by asking
<07592> (8800)
meat
<0400>
for their lust
<05315>_.
78:19
Yea, they spake
<01696> (8762)
against God
<0430>_;
they said
<0559> (8804)_,
Can
<03201> (8799)
God
<0410>
furnish
<06186> (8800)
a table
<07979>
in the wilderness
<04057>_?
{furnish: Heb. order}
78:20
Behold, he smote
<05221> (8689)
the rock
<06697>_,
that the waters
<04325>
gushed out
<02100> (8799)_,
and the streams
<05158>
overflowed
<07857> (8799)_;
can
<03201> (8799)
he give
<05414> (8800)
bread
<03899>
also? can
<03201> (8799)
he provide
<03559> (8686)
flesh
<07607>
for his people
<05971>_?
78:21
Therefore the LORD
<03068>
heard
<08085> (8804)
[this], and was wroth
<05674> (8691)_:
so a fire
<0784>
was kindled
<05400> (8738)
against Jacob
<03290>_,
and anger
<0639>
also came up
<05927> (8804)
against Israel
<03478>_;
78:22
Because they believed
<0539> (8689)
not in God
<0430>_,
and trusted
<0982> (8804)
not in his salvation
<03444>_:
78:23
Though he had commanded
<06680> (8762)
the clouds
<07834>
from above
<04605>_,
and opened
<06605> (8804)
the doors
<01817>
of heaven
<08064>_,
78:24
And had rained down
<04305> (8686)
manna
<04478>
upon them to eat
<0398> (8800)_,
and had given
<05414> (8804)
them of the corn
<01715>
of heaven
<08064>_.
78:25
Man
<0376>
did eat
<0398> (8804)
angels
<047>_'
food
<03899>_:
he sent
<07971> (8804)
them meat
<06720>
to the full
<07648>_.
{Man...: or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty}
78:26
He caused an east wind
<06921>
to blow
<05265> (8686)
in the heaven
<08064>_:
and by his power
<05797>
he brought in
<05090> (8762)
the south wind
<08486>_.
{to blow: Heb. to go}
78:27
He rained
<04305> (8686)
flesh
<07607>
also upon them as dust
<06083>_,
and feathered
<03671>
fowls
<05775>
like as the sand
<02344>
of the sea
<03220>_:
{feathered...: Heb. fowl of wing}
78:28
And he let [it] fall
<05307> (8686)
in the midst
<07130>
of their camp
<04264>_,
round about
<05439>
their habitations
<04908>_.
78:29
So they did eat
<0398> (8799)_,
and were well
<03966>
filled
<07646> (8799)_:
for he gave
<0935> (8686)
them their own desire
<08378>_;
78:30
They were not estranged
<02114> (8804)
from their lust
<08378>_.
But while their meat
<0400>
[was] yet in their mouths
<06310>_,
78:31
The wrath
<0639>
of God
<0430>
came
<05927> (8804)
upon them, and slew
<02026> (8799)
the fattest
<04924>
of them, and smote down
<03766> (8689)
the chosen
<0970>
[men] of Israel
<03478>_.
{smote...: Heb. made to bow} {Chosen...: or, young men}
78:32
For all this they sinned
<02398> (8804)
still, and believed
<0539> (8689)
not for his wondrous works
<06381> (8737)_.
78:33
Therefore their days
<03117>
did he consume
<03615> (8762)
in vanity
<01892>_,
and their years
<08141>
in trouble
<0928>_.
78:34
When he slew
<02026> (8804)
them, then they sought
<01875> (8804)
him: and they returned
<07725> (8804)
and enquired early
<07836> (8765)
after God
<0410>_.
78:35
And they remembered
<02142> (8799)
that God
<0430>
[was] their rock
<06697>_,
and the high
<05945>
God
<0410>
their redeemer
<01350> (8802)_.
78:36
Nevertheless they did flatter
<06601> (8762)
him with their mouth
<06310>_,
and they lied
<03576> (8762)
unto him with their tongues
<03956>_.
78:37
For their heart
<03820>
was not right
<03559> (8737)
with him, neither were they stedfast
<0539> (8738)
in his covenant
<01285>_.
78:38
But he, [being] full of compassion
<07349>_,
forgave
<03722> (8762)
[their] iniquity
<05771>_,
and destroyed
<07843> (8686)
[them] not: yea, many a time
<07235> (8689)
turned
<07725> (0)
he his anger
<0639>
away
<07725> (8687)_,
and did not stir up
<05782> (8686)
all his wrath
<02534>_.
78:39
For he remembered
<02142> (8799)
that they [were but] flesh
<01320>_;
a wind
<07307>
that passeth away
<01980> (8802)_,
and cometh not again
<07725> (8799)_.
78:40
How
<04100>
oft did they provoke
<04784> (8686)
him in the wilderness
<04057>_,
[and] grieve
<06087> (8686)
him in the desert
<03452>_!
{provoke: or, rebel against}
78:41
Yea, they turned back
<07725> (8799)
and tempted
<05254> (8762)
God
<0410>_,
and limited
<08428> (8689)
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
78:42
They remembered
<02142> (8804)
not his hand
<03027>_,
[nor] the day
<03117>
when he delivered
<06299> (8804)
them from the enemy
<06862>_.
{from...: or, from affliction}
78:43
How he had wrought
<07760> (8804)
his signs
<0226>
in Egypt
<04714>_,
and his wonders
<04159>
in the field
<07704>
of Zoan
<06814>_:
{wrought: Heb. set}
78:44
And had turned
<02015> (8799)
their rivers
<02975>
into blood
<01818>_;
and their floods
<05140> (8802)_,
that they could not drink
<08354> (8799)_.
78:45
He sent
<07971> (8762)
divers sorts of flies
<06157>
among them, which devoured
<0398> (8799)
them; and frogs
<06854>_,
which destroyed
<07843> (8686)
them.
78:46
He gave
<05414> (8799)
also their increase
<02981>
unto the caterpiller
<02625>_,
and their labour
<03018>
unto the locust
<0697>_.
78:47
He destroyed
<02026> (8799)
their vines
<01612>
with hail
<01259>_,
and their sycomore trees
<08256>
with frost
<02602>_.
{destroyed: Heb. killed} {frost: or, great hailstones}
78:48
He gave up
<05462> (8686)
their cattle
<01165>
also to the hail
<01259>_,
and their flocks
<04735>
to hot thunderbolts
<07565>_.
{gave...: Heb. shut up} {hot...: or, lightnings}
78:49
He cast
<07971> (8762)
upon them the fierceness
<02740>
of his anger
<0639>_,
wrath
<05678>_,
and indignation
<02195>_,
and trouble
<06869>_,
by sending
<04917>
evil
<07451>
angels
<04397>
[among them].
78:50
He made
<06424> (8762)
a way
<05410>
to his anger
<0639>_;
he spared
<02820> (8804)
not their soul
<05315>
from death
<04194>_,
but gave
<05462> (0)
their life
<02416>
over
<05462> (8689)
to the pestilence
<01698>_;
{He made...: Heb. He weighed a path} {life...: or, beasts to the murrain}
78:51
And smote
<05221> (8686)
all the firstborn
<01060>
in Egypt
<04714>_;
the chief
<07225>
of [their] strength
<0202>
in the tabernacles
<0168>
of Ham
<02526>_:
78:52
But made his own people
<05971>
to go forth
<05265> (8686)
like sheep
<06629>_,
and guided
<05090> (8762)
them in the wilderness
<04057>
like a flock
<05739>_.
78:53
And he led
<05148> (8686)
them on safely
<0983>_,
so that they feared
<06342> (8804)
not: but the sea
<03220>
overwhelmed
<03680> (8765)
their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
{overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
78:54
And he brought
<0935> (8686)
them to the border
<01366>
of his sanctuary
<06944>_,
[even to] this mountain
<02022>_,
[which] his right hand
<03225>
had purchased
<07069> (8804)_.
78:55
He cast out
<01644> (8762)
the heathen
<01471>
also before
<06440>
them, and divided
<05307> (8686)
them an inheritance
<05159>
by line
<02256>_,
and made the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
to dwell
<07931> (8686)
in their tents
<0168>_.
78:56
Yet they tempted
<05254> (8762)
and provoked
<04784> (8686)
the most high
<05945>
God
<0430>_,
and kept
<08104> (8804)
not his testimonies
<05713>_:
78:57
But turned back
<05472> (8735)_,
and dealt unfaithfully
<0898> (8799)
like their fathers
<01>_:
they were turned aside
<02015> (8738)
like a deceitful
<07423>
bow
<07198>_.
78:58
For they provoked him to anger
<03707> (8686)
with their high places
<01116>_,
and moved him to jealousy
<07065> (8686)
with their graven images
<06456>_.
78:59
When God
<0430>
heard
<08085> (8804)
[this], he was wroth
<05674> (8691)_,
and greatly
<03966>
abhorred
<03988> (8799)
Israel
<03478>_:
78:60
So that he forsook
<05203> (8799)
the tabernacle
<04908>
of Shiloh
<07887>_,
the tent
<0168>
[which] he placed
<07931> (8765)
among men
<0120>_;
78:61
And delivered
<05414> (8799)
his strength
<05797>
into captivity
<07628>_,
and his glory
<08597>
into the enemy's
<06862>
hand
<03027>_.
78:62
He gave
<05462> (0)
his people
<05971>
over
<05462> (8686)
also unto the sword
<02719>_;
and was wroth
<05674> (8694)
with his inheritance
<05159>_.
78:63
The fire
<0784>
consumed
<0398> (8804)
their young men
<0970>_;
and their maidens
<01330>
were not given to marriage
<01984> (8795)_.
{given...: Heb. praised}
78:64
Their priests
<03548>
fell
<05307> (8804)
by the sword
<02719>_;
and their widows
<0490>
made no lamentation
<01058> (8799)_.
78:65
Then the Lord
<0136>
awaked
<03364> (8799)
as one out of sleep
<03463>_,
[and] like a mighty man
<01368>
that shouteth
<07442> (8711)
by reason of wine
<03196>_.
78:66
And he smote
<05221> (8686)
his enemies
<06862>
in the hinder parts
<0268>_:
he put
<05414> (8804)
them to a perpetual
<05769>
reproach
<02781>_.
78:67
Moreover he refused
<03988> (8799)
the tabernacle
<0168>
of Joseph
<03130>_,
and chose
<0977> (8804)
not the tribe
<07626>
of Ephraim
<0669>_:
78:68
But chose
<0977> (8799)
the tribe
<07626>
of Judah
<03063>_,
the mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>
which he loved
<0157> (8804)_.
78:69
And he built
<01129> (8799)
his sanctuary
<04720>
like high
<07311> (8802)
[palaces], like the earth
<0776>
which he hath established
<03245> (8804)
for ever
<05769>_.
{established: Heb. founded}
78:70
He chose
<0977> (8799)
David
<01732>
also his servant
<05650>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
him from the sheepfolds
<04356> <06629>_:
78:71
From following
<0310>
