Psalms:78:12-43
Seeker Overlay ON
*
They forgot what he had done ,
and the miracles that he had shown them .
*
In the sight of their fathers he wrought marvels in the land of Egypt ,
in the fields of Zo '
an .
*
He divided the sea and let them pass through it ,
and made the waters stand like a heap .
*
In the daytime he led them with a cloud ,
and all the night with a fiery light .
*
He cleft rocks in the wilderness ,
and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep .
*
He made streams come out of the rock ,
and caused waters to flow down like rivers .
*
Yet they sinned still more against him ,
rebelling against the Most High in the desert .
*
They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved .
*
They spoke against God ,
saying , "
Can God spread a table in the wilderness ?
*
He smote the rock so that water gushed out and streams overflowed .
Can he also give bread ,
or provide meat for his people ?"
*
Therefore ,
when the LORD heard ,
he was full of wrath ;
a fire was kindled against Jacob ,
his anger mounted against Israel ;
*
because they had no faith in God ,
and did not trust his saving power .
*
Yet he commanded the skies above ,
and opened the doors of heaven ;
*
and he rained down upon them manna to eat ,
and gave them the grain of heaven .
*
Man ate of the bread of the angels ;
he sent them food in abundance .
*
He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens ,
and by his power he led out the south wind ;
*
he rained flesh upon them like dust ,
winged birds like the sand of the seas ;
*
he let them fall in the midst of their camp ,
all around their habitations .
*
And they ate and were well filled ,
for he gave them what they craved .
*
But before they had sated their craving ,
while the food was still in their mouths ,
*
the anger of God rose against them and he slew the strongest of them ,
and laid low the picked men of Israel .
*
In spite of all this they still sinned ;
despite his wonders they did not believe .
*
So he made their days vanish like a breath ,
and their years in terror .
*
When he slew them ,
they sought for him ;
they repented and sought God earnestly .
*
They remembered that God was their rock ,
the Most High God their redeemer .
*
But they flattered him with their mouths ;
they lied to him with their tongues .
*
Their heart was not steadfast toward him ;
they were not true to his covenant .
*
Yet he ,
being compassionate ,
forgave their iniquity ,
and did not destroy them ;
he restrained his anger often ,
and did not stir up all his wrath .
*
He remembered that they were but flesh ,
a wind that passes and comes not again .
*
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert !
*
They tested him again and again ,
and provoked the Holy One of Israel .
*
They did not keep in mind his power ,
or the day when he redeemed them from the foe ;
