strkjv@Psalms:78:1 @Maschil of Asaph.Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

strkjv@Psalms:78:2 @ I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:4 @ We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

strkjv@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 children:

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

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

strkjv@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 stedfast with God.

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

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:11 @ And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.

strkjv@Psalms:78:12 @ Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

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

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

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

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

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:18 @ And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

strkjv@Psalms:78:19 @ Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

strkjv@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?

strkjv@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;

strkjv@Psalms:78:22 @ Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation y@:

strkjv@Psalms:78:23 @ Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

strkjv@Psalms:78:24 @ And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

strkjv@Psalms:78:25 @ Man did eat angels food: he sent them meat to the full.

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

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

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

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:30 @ They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:32 @ For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

strkjv@Psalms:78:33 @ Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:35 @ And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

strkjv@Psalms:78:36 @ Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:38 @ But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

strkjv@Psalms:78:39 @ For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

strkjv@Psalms:78:40 @ How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

strkjv@Psalms:78:41 @ Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

strkjv@Psalms:78:42 @ They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

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

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:45 @ He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

strkjv@Psalms:78:46 @ He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

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

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

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

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:51 @ And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

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

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

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:55 @ He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

strkjv@Psalms:78:56 @ Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

strkjv@Psalms:78:57 @ But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:59 @ When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

strkjv@Psalms:78:60 @ So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

strkjv@Psalms:78:61 @ And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemys hand.

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:63 @ The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:65 @ Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

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

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

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:69 @ And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

strkjv@Psalms:78:70 @ He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds H6629:

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

strkjv@Psalms:78:72 @ So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
