PS-78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law:
incline your
ears to the words of my mouth.
PS-78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark
sayings of old:
PS-78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told
us.
PS-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.
PS-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:
PS-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:
PS-78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget
the works of
God, but keep his commandments:
PS-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.
PS-78:9 The children of Ephraim, [being] armed, [and] carrying
bows, turned
back in the day of battle.
PS-78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk
in his law;
PS-78:11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had
showed them.
PS-78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers,
in the land
of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.
PS-78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through;
and he made the
waters to stand as an heap.
PS-78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all
the night with
a light of fire.
PS-78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them]
drink as [out
of] the great depths.
PS-78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused
waters to run
down like rivers.
PS-78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the
most High in
the wilderness.
PS-78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for
their lust.
PS-78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish
a table in
the wilderness?
PS-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?
PS-78:21 Therefore the LORD heard [this], and was wroth: so a
fire was kindled
against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
PS-78:22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in
his salvation:
PS-78:23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and
opened the doors
of heaven,
PS-78:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had
given them of the
corn of heaven.
PS-78:25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
PS-78:26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by
his power he
brought in the south wind.
PS-78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered
fowls like as
the sand of the sea:
PS-78:28 And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round
about their
habitations.
PS-78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them
their own
desire;
PS-78:30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while
their meat [was]
yet in their mouths,
PS-78:31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest
of them, and
smote down the chosen [men] of Israel.
PS-78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for
his wondrous
works.
PS-78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and
their years in
trouble.
PS-78:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they
returned and
inquired early after God.
PS-78:35 And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the
high God their
redeemer.
PS-78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and
they lied
unto him with their tongues.
PS-78:37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were
they stedfast in
his covenant.
PS-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.
PS-78:39 For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind
that passeth
away, and cometh not again.
PS-78:40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and]
grieve him in
the desert!
PS-78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the
