jub@Psalms:78:1 @ <<Maschil of Asaph.>> Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

jub@Psalms:78:2 @ I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter enigmas of old,

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

jub@Psalms:78:4 @ We will not hide [them] from their sons, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD and his strength and his wonderful works that he has done.

jub@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:

jub@Psalms:78:6 @ That the generation to come might know [them], [even] the sons [which] should be born; [who] should arise and declare [them] to their sons

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

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

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

jub@Psalms:78:10 @ They did not keep the covenant of God and refused to walk in his law

jub@Psalms:78:11 @ and forgot his works and his wonders that he had showed them.

jub@Psalms:78:12 @ He did marvellous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.

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

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

jub@Psalms:78:15 @ He clave the rocks in the wilderness and gave [them] drink as [out of] the great depths.

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

jub@Psalms:78:17 @ And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

jub@Psalms:78:18 @ And they tempted God in their heart [by] asking for food according to the desires of their soul.

jub@Psalms:78:19 @ And they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

jub@Psalms:78:20 @ Behold, he smote the rock that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

jub@Psalms:78:21 @ Therefore the LORD heard [this] and was wroth, so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel

jub@Psalms:78:22 @ because they had not believed God, nor had they trusted in his saving health;

jub@Psalms:78:23 @ and he commanded the clouds of above and opened the doors of the heavens

jub@Psalms:78:24 @ and caused manna to rain upon them to eat and gave them wheat of the heavens.

jub@Psalms:78:25 @ Man did eat the food of the strong; he sent them food to the full.

jub@Psalms:78:26 @ He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven, and by his power he brought in the south wind.

jub@Psalms:78:27 @ He rained flesh also upon them as dust and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

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

jub@Psalms:78:29 @ So they did eat and were well filled; for he gave them their own desire;

jub@Psalms:78:30 @ they were not estranged from their lust. But while their food [was] yet in their mouths,

jub@Psalms:78:31 @ the wrath of God came upon them and slew the fattest of them and smote down the chosen of Israel.

jub@Psalms:78:32 @ For all this they sinned still and did not give him credit for his wondrous works.

jub@Psalms:78:33 @ Therefore he consumed their days in vanity and their years in tribulation.

jub@Psalms:78:34 @ When he slew them, then they sought him, and they returned and enquired early after God.

jub@Psalms:78:35 @ And they remembered that God [was] their rock and the high God their redeemer.

jub@Psalms:78:36 @ Nevertheless they flattered him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

jub@Psalms:78:37 @ For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant.

jub@Psalms:78:38 @ But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their] iniquity and did not destroy [them]; many a time turned he his anger away and did not stir up all his wrath.

jub@Psalms:78:39 @ For he remembered that they [were but] flesh: a wind that passes away and does not come again.

jub@Psalms:78:40 @ How often did they provoke him in the wilderness [and] grieve him in the desert!

jub@Psalms:78:41 @ And they turned back and tempted God and limited the Holy One of Israel.

jub@Psalms:78:42 @ They did not remember his hand, [nor] the day when he ransomed them from anguish.

jub@Psalms:78:43 @ How he had wrought his signs in Egypt and his wonders in the field of Zoan

jub@Psalms:78:44 @ and had turned their rivers into blood and their floods, that they could not drink.

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

jub@Psalms:78:46 @ He gave also their fruits unto the caterpillar and their works unto the locust.

jub@Psalms:78:47 @ He destroyed their vines with hail and their [wild] fig trees with stones.

jub@Psalms:78:48 @ He gave up their cattle also to the hail and their flocks to [thunderbolts of] fire.

jub@Psalms:78:49 @ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation and trouble by sending evil angels [among them].

jub@Psalms:78:50 @ He made a way to his anger; he did not spare their soul from death but gave their life over to the pestilence

jub@Psalms:78:51 @ and smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the firstfruits of [their] strength in the tents of Ham:

jub@Psalms:78:52 @ But made his own people to go forth like sheep and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

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

jub@Psalms:78:54 @ And he brought them into the borders of his holiness, into this mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased.

jub@Psalms:78:55 @ He cast out the Gentiles also before them and divided them an inheritance by line and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their habitations.

jub@Psalms:78:56 @ Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God and did not keep his testimonies:

jub@Psalms:78:57 @ But turned back and rebelled like their fathers; they became like a deceitful bow.

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

jub@Psalms:78:59 @ God heard [this] and was wroth and greatly abhorred Israel:

jub@Psalms:78:60 @ For this reason he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent [in which] he dwelt among men

jub@Psalms:78:61 @ and delivered his strength into captivity and his glory into the enemy's hand.

jub@Psalms:78:62 @ He gave his people over also unto the sword and was wroth with his inheritance.

jub@Psalms:78:63 @ The fire consumed their young men; and their virgins were not honored [in marriage] songs.

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

jub@Psalms:78:65 @ Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep [and] like a mighty man that shouts [by reason] of wine.

jub@Psalms:78:66 @ And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts; he put them to a perpetual reproach.

jub@Psalms:78:67 @ Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim:

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

jub@Psalms:78:69 @ And he built his sanctuary in preeminence like the earth which he has established for ever.

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

jub@Psalms:78:71 @ from following the ewes great with young, he brought him to feed Jacob his people and Israel his inheritance.

jub@Psalms:78:72 @ So he fed them out of the integrity of his heart and guided them by the intelligence of his hands.:
