Psalms:78:12-72
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers ,
in the land of Egypt ,
in the field of Zoan Tso #
an #.
*
He divided the sea ,
and caused them to pass through ;
and he made the waters to stand as an heap .
*
In the daytime also he led them with a cloud ,
and all the night with a light of fire .
*
He clave the rocks in the wilderness ,
and gave them drink as out of the great depths .
*
He brought streams also out of the rock ,
and caused waters to run down like rivers .
*
And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness .
*
And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust .
*
Yea ,
they spake against God ;
they said ,
Can God furnish a table in the wilderness ?
*
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 ?
*
Therefore the LORD heard this ,
and was wroth :
so a fire was kindled against Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
and anger also came up against Israel Yisra #
el #;
*
Because they believed not in God ,
and trusted not in his salvation y @
shuw #
ah #:
*
Though he had commanded the clouds from above ma #
al #,
and opened the doors of heaven ,
*
And had rained down manna upon them to eat ,
and had given them of the corn of heaven .
*
Man did eat angels food :
he sent them meat to the full .
*
He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven :
and by his power he brought in the south wind .
*
He rained flesh also upon them as dust ,
and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea :
*
And he let it fall in the midst of their camp ,
round about their habitations .
*
So they did eat ,
and were well filled :
for he gave them their own desire ta #
avah #;
*
They were not estranged from their lust ta #
avah #.
But while their meat was yet in their mouths ,
*
The wrath of God came upon them ,
and slew the fattest of them ,
and smote down the chosen men of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
For all this they sinned still ,
and believed not for his wondrous works .
*
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity ,
and their years in trouble .
*
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 .
*
And they remembered that God was their rock ,
and the high God their redeemer .
*
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth ,
and they lied unto him with their tongues .
*
For their heart was not right with him ,
neither were they stedfast in his covenant .
*
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 .
*
For he remembered that they were but flesh ;
a wind that passeth away ,
and cometh not again .
*
How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness ,
and grieve him in the desert !
*
Yea ,
they turned back and tempted God ,
and limited the Holy One of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
They remembered not his hand ,
nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy .
*
How he had wrought his signs in Egypt ,
and his wonders in the field of Zoan Tso #
an #:
*
And had turned their rivers into blood ;
and their floods ,
that they could not drink .
*
He sent divers sorts of flies among them ,
which devoured them ;
and frogs ,
which destroyed them .
*
He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller ,
and their labour unto the locust .
*
He destroyed their vines with hail ,
and their sycomore trees with frost .
*
He gave up their cattle also to the hail ,
and their flocks to hot thunderbolts .
*
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger ,
wrath ,
and indignation za #
am #,
and trouble ,
by sending evil angels among them .
*
He made a way to his anger ;
he spared not their soul from death ,
but gave #
their life over to the pestilence ;
*
And smote all the firstborn in Egypt ;
the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham :
*
But made his own people to go forth like sheep tso #
n #,
and guided them in the wilderness like a flock .
*
And he led them on safely ,
so that they feared not :
but the sea overwhelmed their enemies .
*
And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary ,
even to this mountain ,
which his right hand had purchased .
*
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 .
*
Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God ,
and kept not his testimonies :
*
But turned back ,
and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers :
they were turned aside like a deceitful bow .
*
For they provoked him to anger with their high places ,
and moved him to jealousy with their graven images .
*
When God heard this ,
he was wroth ,
and greatly abhorred Israel Yisra #
el #:
*
So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh ,
the tent which he placed among men ;
*
And delivered his strength into captivity ,
and his glory into the enemys hand .
*
He gave #
his people over also unto the sword ;
and was wroth with his inheritance .
*
The fire consumed their young men ;
and their maidens were not given to marriage .
*
Their priests fell by the sword ;
and their widows made no lamentation .
*
Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep ,
and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine .
*
And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts :
he put them to a perpetual reproach .
*
Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph ,
and chose not the tribe of Ephraim :
*
But chose the tribe of Judah ,
the mount Zion which he loved .
*
And he built his sanctuary like high palaces ,
like the earth which he hath established for ever .
*
He chose David also his servant ,
and took him from the sheepfolds #
H6629 tso #

*
From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people ,
and Israel his inheritance .
*
So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart ;
and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands .
