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
Holy One of

Israel.

PS-78:42 They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he
delivered them

from the enemy.

PS-78:43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders
in the field

of Zoan:

PS-78:44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their
floods, that they

could not drink.

PS-78:45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which
devoured them; and

frogs, which destroyed them.

PS-78:46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and
their labour

unto the locust.

PS-78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore
trees with

frost.

PS-78:48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their
flocks to hot

thunderbolts.

PS-78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath,
and

indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among them].

PS-78:50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul
from death, but

gave their life over to the pestilence;

PS-78:51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of
[their] strength

in the tabernacles of Ham:

PS-78:52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and
guided them in

the wilderness like a flock.

PS-78:53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but
the sea

overwhelmed their enemies.

PS-78:54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
[even to] this

mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased.

PS-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.

PS-78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and
kept not his

testimonies:

PS-78:57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their
fathers: they were

turned aside like a deceitful bow.

PS-78:58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places,
and moved him

to jealousy with their graven images.

PS-78:59 When God heard [this], he was wroth, and greatly
abhorred Israel:

PS-78:60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent
[which] he

placed among men;

PS-78:61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his
glory into the

enemy's hand.

PS-78:62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was
wroth with his

inheritance.

PS-78:63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens
were not given

to marriage.

PS-78:64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made
no

lamentation.

PS-78:65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] like a
mighty man

that shouteth by reason of wine.

PS-78:66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put
them to a

perpetual reproach.

PS-78:67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose
not the tribe

of Ephraim:

PS-78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he
loved.

PS-78:69 And he built his sanctuary like high [palaces], like
the earth which

he hath established for ever.

PS-78:70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the
sheepfolds:

PS-78:71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him
to feed Jacob

his people, and Israel his inheritance.

PS-78:72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart;
and guided

them by the skilfulness of his hands.
