rotherham@Psalms:78:2 @ I will open, in a parable, my mouth, I will pour forth enigmas out of antiquity;
rotherham@Psalms:78:3 @ Which we have heard, and come to know, And, our fathers, have recounted to us;
rotherham@Psalms:78:4 @ We will not withhold from their children, To a later generation, recounting the praises of Yahweh, Even his might and his wonders which he wrought;
rotherham@Psalms:78:5 @ When he set up a testimony in Jacob, And, a law, appointed in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they might make them known to their children;
rotherham@Psalms:78:6 @ To the end, A later generation, might come m know, Children who should be born, Who should arise, and recount to their children;
rotherham@Psalms:78:7 @ That they might set, in Elohim, their confidence, And not forget the doings of El, But, his commandments, might observe;

rotherham@Psalms:78:9 @ The sons of Ephraimarmed bowmen, Turned in the day of battle;
rotherham@Psalms:78:10 @ They kept not the covenant of God, And, in his law, refused to walk;
rotherham@Psalms:78:11 @ And forgat His doings, And his wonders which he had showed them:
rotherham@Psalms:78:12 @ In presence of their fathers, wrought he, wondrously, In the land of Egyptthe field of Zoan:
rotherham@Psalms:78:13 @ He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through, And reared up the waters like a mound;
rotherham@Psalms:78:14 @ And led them, by a cloud, in the daytime, And all the night, by a light of fire;
rotherham@Psalms:78:15 @ He used to cleave rocks in the desert, And let them drink as out of mighty deeps;
rotherham@Psalms:78:16 @ And he brought forth streams out of the cliff, And caused waters to flow down, like rivers.
rotherham@Psalms:78:17 @ But again, once more sinned they against him, Resisting the Most High in a land of drought:
rotherham@Psalms:78:18 @ They put GOD to the proof in their heart, By asking food to their mind:
rotherham@Psalms:78:19 @ Yea they spake against Elohim, They said, Can GOD prepare a table in the desert?
rotherham@Psalms:78:20 @ Lo! he hath smitten a rock, And waters, have gushed out, Yea, torrents, have rushed along, Food also, can he give? Or provide flesh for his people?
rotherham@Psalms:78:21 @ Therefore, Yahweh hearkened, and became wroth, And, a fire, was kindled against Jacob, Moreover also, anger, mounted against Israel;
rotherham@Psalms:78:22 @ Because, They believed not in God, Nor trusted in his salvation;
rotherham@Psalms:78:23 @ Though he had commanded the skies above, And, the doors of the heavens, had opened;
rotherham@Psalms:78:24 @ And had rained on them manna to eat, And, the corn of the heavens, had given to them:
rotherham@Psalms:78:25 @ The food of the mighty, each one did eat, Nourishment, sent he them to the full;

rotherham@Psalms:78:27 @ And rained upon them flesh as the dust, And, like the sand of the seas, birds of wing;
rotherham@Psalms:78:28 @ And let them fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations.
rotherham@Psalms:78:29 @ So they did eat and were abundantly filled, When, what they longed for, he had brought them:
rotherham@Psalms:78:30 @ They had not turned away from what they had longed for, Yet was their food in their mouth,
rotherham@Psalms:78:31 @ When, the anger of God, mounted against them, And he slew of their vigorous youths, And, the choice young men of Israel, caused he to bow down in death.
rotherham@Psalms:78:32 @ For all this, sinned they still, And believed not in his wonders;
rotherham@Psalms:78:33 @ So he ended, in a breath, their days, And their years, in a sudden terror!
rotherham@Psalms:78:34 @ If he slew them, then they sought him, Yea they turned, and did earnestly seek GOD;
rotherham@Psalms:78:35 @ And remembered that, Elohim, was their rock, Yea, EL Most High, their Redeemer:
rotherham@Psalms:78:36 @ So they spake him fair with their mouth, And, with their tongue, did promise him falsely;
rotherham@Psalms:78:37 @ But, their heart, was not fixed with him, Nor were they trusty in his covenant:
rotherham@Psalms:78:38 @ Yet, he, full of compassion, would put a propitiatory-covering over iniquity, and not destroy, Yea, many a time, turned he back his anger, And would not stir up all his wrath.
rotherham@Psalms:78:39 @ So then he remembered, That, Flesh, they were, A Wind departing, that returneth not.
rotherham@Psalms:78:40 @ How often they, Resisted him in the desert, Vexed him, in the waste:
rotherham@Psalms:78:41 @ Yea they again put GOD to the test, And, to the Holy One of Israel, caused they sorrow:
rotherham@Psalms:78:42 @ They remembered not his hand The day, When he ransomed them from the adversary;
rotherham@Psalms:78:43 @ When he set, in Egypt, his signs, And his wonders, in the plain of Zoan;
rotherham@Psalms:78:44 @ When he turned, into blood, their Nile-streams, And, their own rivers, could they not drink;

rotherham@Psalms:78:47 @ He killed, with hail, their vine, And their sycomores, with frost:
rotherham@Psalms:78:48 @ When he gave up, to hail-storms, their beasts, And their cattle, to pestilent fevers;
rotherham@Psalms:78:49 @ He sent among them the heat of his anger, Wrath and indignation and distress, A mission of messengers of misfortune:
rotherham@Psalms:78:50 @ He leveled a path for his anger, Withheld not, from death, their soul, But, their lifeto the pestilence, he delivered:
rotherham@Psalms:78:51 @ So he smote, Every first-born in Egypt, The beginning of their strength, in the tents of Ham;
rotherham@Psalms:78:52 @ And he set forth, like sheep, his people, And guided them, like a flock in the desert;
rotherham@Psalms:78:53 @ Yea he led them securely, and they dreaded not, And, their enemies, the sea did cover.
rotherham@Psalms:78:54 @ Then brought he them within his own holy bounds, The mountain-range, which his right hand made his own:
rotherham@Psalms:78:55 @ So he drave out, before them, nations, And allotted them, by line, an inheritance, And caused to dwell, in their own homes, the tribes of Israel.
rotherham@Psalms:78:56 @ But they tested and resisted God Most High, And, his testimonies, did not observe;
rotherham@Psalms:78:57 @ But drew back and dealt treacherously, like their fathers, They turned aside, like deceitful bowmen;
rotherham@Psalms:78:58 @ And provoked him to anger with their high places, And, with their images, used to move him to jealousy.
rotherham@Psalms:78:59 @ God heard and was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;
rotherham@Psalms:78:60 @ So he gave up the habitation of Shiloh, The tent he had set up among Men;
rotherham@Psalms:78:61 @ Yea he gave up, into captivity, his strength, And his beauty into the hand of an adversary;
rotherham@Psalms:78:62 @ And delivered up, to the sword, his people, And, with his own inheritance, was he wroth;
rotherham@Psalms:78:63 @ His young men, were devoured by fire, And, his virgins, were not praised in song;
rotherham@Psalms:78:64 @ His priests, by the sword, did fall, And, his widows, were not able to bewail.

rotherham@Psalms:78:67 @ Howbeit he rejected the tent of Joseph, And, the tribe of Ephraim, did not choose:
rotherham@Psalms:78:68 @ But made choice of the tribe of Judah, The mountain of Zion, which he loved;

rotherham@Psalms:78:70 @ And made choice of David his servant, And took him from among the folds of the sheep:
rotherham@Psalms:78:71 @ From after the sucking ewes, he brought him in, To be shepherd to Jacob his people, And to Israel, his inheritance.
rotherham@Psalms:78:72 @ So he did shepherd them, according to the singleness of his heart, And, with the discernment of his hands, used he to guide them.
