Psalms 78:1-33

78:1

<
<Maschil <04905> (8688)

of Asaph
<0623>.>>

Give ear
<0238> (8685)_,

O my people
<05971>_,

[to] my law
<08451>_:

incline
<05186> (8685)

your ears
<0241>

to the words
<0561>

of my mouth
<06310>_.

{Maschil...: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction}

78:2

I will open
<06605> (8799)

my mouth
<06310>

in a parable
<04912>_:

I will utter
<05042> (8686)

dark sayings
<02420>

of old
<06924>_:

78:3

Which we have heard
<08085> (8804)

and known
<03045> (8799)_,

and our fathers
<01>

have told
<05608> (8765)

us.

78:4

We will not hide
<03582> (8762)

[them] from their children
<01121>_,

shewing
<05608> (8764)

to the generation
<01755>

to come
<0314>

the praises
<08416>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and his strength
<05807>_,

and his wonderful works
<06381> (8737)

that he hath done
<06213> (8804)_.

78:5

For he established
<06965> (8686)

a testimony
<05715>

in Jacob
<03290>_,

and appointed
<07760> (8804)

a law
<08451>

in Israel
<03478>_,

which he commanded
<06680> (8765)

our fathers
<01>_,

that they should make them known
<03045> (8687)

to their children
<01121>_:

78:6

That the generation
<01755>

to come
<0314>

might know
<03045> (8799)

[them, even] the children
<01121>

[which] should be born
<03205> (8735)_;

[who] should arise
<06965> (8799)

and declare
<05608> (8762)

[them] to their children
<01121>_:

78:7

That they might set
<07760> (8799)

their hope
<03689>

in God
<0430>_,

and not forget
<07911> (8799)

the works
<04611>

of God
<0410>_,

but keep
<05341> (8799)

his commandments
<04687>_:

78:8

And might not be as their fathers
<01>_,

a stubborn
<05637> (8802)

and rebellious
<04784> (8802)

generation
<01755>_;

a generation
<01755>

[that] set
<03559> (0)

not their heart
<03820>

aright
<03559> (8689)_,

and whose spirit
<07307>

was not stedfast
<0539> (8738)

with God
<0410>_.

{that...: Heb. that prepared not their heart}

78:9

The children
<01121>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

[being] armed
<05401> (8802)_,

[and] carrying
<07411> (8802)

bows
<07198>_,

turned back
<02015> (8804)

in the day
<03117>

of battle
<07128>_.

{carrying: Heb. throwing forth}

78:10

They kept
<08104> (8804)

not the covenant
<01285>

of God
<0430>_,

and refused
<03985> (8765)

to walk
<03212> (8800)

in his law
<08451>_;

78:11

And forgat
<07911> (8799)

his works
<05949>_,

and his wonders
<06381> (8737)

that he had shewed
<07200> (8689)

them.

78:12

Marvellous things
<06382>

did
<06213> (8804)

he in the sight
<05048>

of their fathers
<01>_,

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

[in] the field
<07704>

of Zoan
<06814>_.

78:13

He divided
<01234> (8804)

the sea
<03220>_,

and caused them to pass through
<05674> (8686)_;

and he made the waters
<04325>

to stand
<05324> (8686)

as an heap
<05067>_.

78:14

In the daytime
<03119>

also he led
<05148> (8686)

them with a cloud
<06051>_,

and all the night
<03915>

with a light
<0216>

of fire
<0784>_.

78:15

He clave
<01234> (8762)

the rocks
<06697>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and gave [them] drink
<08248> (8686)

as [out of] the great
<07227>

depths
<08415>_.

78:16

He brought
<03318> (8686)

streams
<05140> (8802)

also out of the rock
<05553>_,

and caused waters
<04325>

to run down
<03381> (8686)

like rivers
<05104>_.

78:17

And they sinned
<02398> (8800)

yet more
<03254> (8686)

against him by provoking
<04784> (8687)

the most High
<05945>

in the wilderness
<06723>_.

78:18

And they tempted
<05254> (8762)

God
<0410>

in their heart
<03824>

by asking
<07592> (8800)

meat
<0400>

for their lust
<05315>_.

78:19

Yea, they spake
<01696> (8762)

against God
<0430>_;

they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Can
<03201> (8799)

God
<0410>

furnish
<06186> (8800)

a table
<07979>

in the wilderness
<04057>_?

{furnish: Heb. order}

78:20

Behold, he smote
<05221> (8689)

the rock
<06697>_,

that the waters
<04325>

gushed out
<02100> (8799)_,

and the streams
<05158>

overflowed
<07857> (8799)_;

can
<03201> (8799)

he give
<05414> (8800)

bread
<03899>

also? can
<03201> (8799)

he provide
<03559> (8686)

flesh
<07607>

for his people
<05971>_?

78:21

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

heard
<08085> (8804)

[this], and was wroth
<05674> (8691)_:

so a fire
<0784>

was kindled
<05400> (8738)

against Jacob
<03290>_,

and anger
<0639>

also came up
<05927> (8804)

against Israel
<03478>_;

78:22

Because they believed
<0539> (8689)

not in God
<0430>_,

and trusted
<0982> (8804)

not in his salvation
<03444>_:

78:23

Though he had commanded
<06680> (8762)

the clouds
<07834>

from above
<04605>_,

and opened
<06605> (8804)

the doors
<01817>

of heaven
<08064>_,

78:24

And had rained down
<04305> (8686)

manna
<04478>

upon them to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

and had given
<05414> (8804)

them of the corn
<01715>

of heaven
<08064>_.

78:25

Man
<0376>

did eat
<0398> (8804)

angels
<047>_'

food
<03899>_:

he sent
<07971> (8804)

them meat
<06720>

to the full
<07648>_.

{Man...: or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty}

78:26

He caused an east wind
<06921>

to blow
<05265> (8686)

in the heaven
<08064>_:

and by his power
<05797>

he brought in
<05090> (8762)

the south wind
<08486>_.

{to blow: Heb. to go}

78:27

He rained
<04305> (8686)

flesh
<07607>

also upon them as dust
<06083>_,

and feathered
<03671>

fowls
<05775>

like as the sand
<02344>

of the sea
<03220>_:

{feathered...: Heb. fowl of wing}

78:28

And he let [it] fall
<05307> (8686)

in the midst
<07130>

of their camp
<04264>_,

round about
<05439>

their habitations
<04908>_.

78:29

So they did eat
<0398> (8799)_,

and were well
<03966>

filled
<07646> (8799)_:

for he gave
<0935> (8686)

them their own desire
<08378>_;

78:30

They were not estranged
<02114> (8804)

from their lust
<08378>_.

But while their meat
<0400>

[was] yet in their mouths
<06310>_,

78:31

The wrath
<0639>

of God
<0430>

came
<05927> (8804)

upon them, and slew
<02026> (8799)

the fattest
<04924>

of them, and smote down
<03766> (8689)

the chosen
<0970>

[men] of Israel
<03478>_.

{smote...: Heb. made to bow} {Chosen...: or, young men}

78:32

For all this they sinned
<02398> (8804)

still, and believed
<0539> (8689)

not for his wondrous works
<06381> (8737)_.

78:33

Therefore their days
<03117>

did he consume
<03615> (8762)

in vanity
<01892>_,

and their years
<08141>

in trouble
<0928>_.
