Psalms 78




acv@Psalms:78:1 @ Give ear, O my people, to my law. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

acv@Psalms:78:2 @ I will open my mouth in parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,

acv@Psalms:78:3 @ which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

acv@Psalms:78:4 @ We will not hide them from their sons, telling to the generation to come the praises of LORD, and his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.

acv@Psalms:78:5 @ For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their sons,

acv@Psalms:78:6 @ that the generation to come might know, even the sons who should be born, who should arise and tell to their sons,

acv@Psalms:78:7 @ that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments,

acv@Psalms:78:8 @ and might not be as their fathers: a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

acv@Psalms:78:9 @ The sons of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

acv@Psalms:78:10 @ They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law.

acv@Psalms:78:11 @ And they forgot his doings, and his wondrous works that he had shown them.

acv@Psalms:78:12 @ He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

acv@Psalms:78:13 @ He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through. And he made the waters to stand as a heap.

acv@Psalms:78:14 @ In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

acv@Psalms:78:15 @ He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

acv@Psalms:78:16 @ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

acv@Psalms:78:17 @ Yet they went on to still sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

acv@Psalms:78:18 @ And they challenged God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

acv@Psalms:78:19 @ Yea, they spoke against God. They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

acv@Psalms:78:20 @ Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?

acv@Psalms:78:21 @ Therefore LORD heard, and was angry. And a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel,

acv@Psalms:78:22 @ because they did not believe in God, and did not trust in his salvation.

acv@Psalms:78:23 @ Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven,

acv@Psalms:78:24 @ and he rained down manna upon them to eat, and gave them food from heaven.

acv@Psalms:78:25 @ Man ate the bread of the mighty. He sent them food to the full.

acv@Psalms:78:26 @ He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens, and by his power he guided the south wind.

acv@Psalms:78:27 @ He also rained flesh upon them as the dust, and winged birds as the sand of the seas.

acv@Psalms:78:28 @ And he let it fall in the midst of their camp round about their habitations.

acv@Psalms:78:29 @ So they ate, and were well filled, and he gave them their own desire.

acv@Psalms:78:30 @ They were not estranged from that which they desired. Their food was yet in their mouths

acv@Psalms:78:31 @ when the anger of God went up against them, and killed of the fattest of them, and smote down the young men of Israel.

acv@Psalms:78:32 @ For all this they still sinned, and did not believe in his wondrous works.

acv@Psalms:78:33 @ Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

acv@Psalms:78:34 @ When he killed them, then they inquired after him, and they returned and sought God earnestly.

acv@Psalms:78:35 @ And they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their redeemer.

acv@Psalms:78:36 @ But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.

acv@Psalms:78:37 @ For their heart was not right with him, nor were they faithful in his covenant.

acv@Psalms:78:38 @ But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and destroyed not. Yea, many a time he turned his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

acv@Psalms:78:39 @ And he remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and comes not again.

acv@Psalms:78:40 @ How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!

acv@Psalms:78:41 @ And they turned again and challenged God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

acv@Psalms:78:42 @ They did not remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary,

acv@Psalms:78:43 @ how he set his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan,

acv@Psalms:78:44 @ and turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.

acv@Psalms:78:45 @ He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.

acv@Psalms:78:46 @ He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.

acv@Psalms:78:47 @ He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost.

acv@Psalms:78:48 @ He also gave over their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

acv@Psalms:78:49 @ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, a band of [heavenly] agents of evil.

acv@Psalms:78:50 @ He made a path for his anger. He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

acv@Psalms:78:51 @ and smote all the first-born in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

acv@Psalms:78:52 @ But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

acv@Psalms:78:53 @ And he led them safely, so that they feared not, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

acv@Psalms:78:54 @ And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.

acv@Psalms:78:55 @ He also drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

acv@Psalms:78:56 @ Yet they challenged and rebelled against the Most High God, and kept not his testimonies,

acv@Psalms:78:57 @ but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

acv@Psalms:78:58 @ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

acv@Psalms:78:59 @ When God heard, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,

acv@Psalms:78:60 @ so that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men,

acv@Psalms:78:61 @ and delivered their strength into captivity, and their glory into the adversary's hand.

acv@Psalms:78:62 @ He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.

acv@Psalms:78:63 @ Fire devoured their young men, and their virgins had no marriage-song.

acv@Psalms:78:64 @ Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.

acv@Psalms:78:65 @ Then LORD awoke as out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.

acv@Psalms:78:66 @ And he smote his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.

acv@Psalms:78:67 @ Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim,

acv@Psalms:78:68 @ but chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

acv@Psalms:78:69 @ And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.

acv@Psalms:78:70 @ He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds.

acv@Psalms:78:71 @ He brought him from following the ewes that have their young, to be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

acv@Psalms:78:72 @ So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

acv@Psalms:78:1 @ Give ear, O my people, to my law. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

acv@Psalms:78:2 @ I will open my mouth in parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,
