PSA-78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law:
incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
PSA-78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark
sayings of old:
PSA-78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have
told us.
PSA-78:4 We will not hide [them] from their children, showing to
the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength,
and his wonderful works that he hath done.
PSA-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:
PSA-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:
PSA-78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget
the works of God, but keep his commandments:
PSA-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.
PSA-78:9 The children of Ephraim, [being] armed, [and] carrying
bows, turned back in the day of battle.
PSA-78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk
in his law;
PSA-78:11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had
showed them.
PSA-78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers,
in the land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.
PSA-78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through;
and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
PSA-78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all
the night with a light of fire.
PSA-78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them]
drink as [out of] the great depths.
PSA-78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused
waters to run down like rivers.
PSA-78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the
most High in the wilderness.
PSA-78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for
their lust.
PSA-78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God
furnish a table in the wilderness?
PSA-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?
PSA-78:21 Therefore the LORD heard [this], and was wroth: so a
fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against
Israel;
PSA-78:22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in
his salvation:
PSA-78:23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and
opened the doors of heaven,
PSA-78:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had
given them of the corn of heaven.
PSA-78:25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the
full.
PSA-78:26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by
his power he brought in the south wind.
PSA-78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered
fowls like as the sand of the sea:
PSA-78:28 And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round
about their habitations.
PSA-78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave
them their own desire;
PSA-78:30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while
their meat [was] yet in their mouths,
PSA-78:31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest
of them, and smote down the chosen [men] of Israel.
PSA-78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for
his wondrous works.
PSA-78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and
their years in trouble.
PSA-78:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they
returned and inquired early after God.
PSA-78:35 And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the
high God their redeemer.
PSA-78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth,
and they lied unto him with their tongues.
PSA-78:37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were
they stedfast in his covenant.
PSA-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.
PSA-78:39 For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind
that passeth away, and cometh not again.
PSA-78:40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and]
grieve him in the desert!
PSA-78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the
Holy One of Israel.
PSA-78:42 They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he
delivered them from the enemy.
PSA-78:43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders
in the field of Zoan:
PSA-78:44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their
floods, that they could not drink.
PSA-78:45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which
devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
PSA-78:46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and
their labour unto the locust.
PSA-78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore
trees with frost.
PSA-78:48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their
flocks to hot thunderbolts.
PSA-78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath,
and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among
them].
PSA-78:50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul
from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
PSA-78:51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of
[their] strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
PSA-78:52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and
guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
PSA-78:53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not:
but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
PSA-78:54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
[even to] this mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased.
PSA-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.
PSA-78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and
kept not his testimonies:
PSA-78:57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their
fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
PSA-78:58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places,
