Psalms 78:51-72

78:51

And smote
<05221> (8686)

all the firstborn
<01060>

in Egypt
<04714>_;

the chief
<07225>

of [their] strength
<0202>

in the tabernacles
<0168>

of Ham
<02526>_:

78:52

But made his own people
<05971>

to go forth
<05265> (8686)

like sheep
<06629>_,

and guided
<05090> (8762)

them in the wilderness
<04057>

like a flock
<05739>_.

78:53

And he led
<05148> (8686)

them on safely
<0983>_,

so that they feared
<06342> (8804)

not: but the sea
<03220>

overwhelmed
<03680> (8765)

their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

{overwhelmed: Heb. covered}

78:54

And he brought
<0935> (8686)

them to the border
<01366>

of his sanctuary
<06944>_,

[even to] this mountain
<02022>_,

[which] his right hand
<03225>

had purchased
<07069> (8804)_.

78:55

He cast out
<01644> (8762)

the heathen
<01471>

also before
<06440>

them, and divided
<05307> (8686)

them an inheritance
<05159>

by line
<02256>_,

and made the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

to dwell
<07931> (8686)

in their tents
<0168>_.

78:56

Yet they tempted
<05254> (8762)

and provoked
<04784> (8686)

the most high
<05945>

God
<0430>_,

and kept
<08104> (8804)

not his testimonies
<05713>_:

78:57

But turned back
<05472> (8735)_,

and dealt unfaithfully
<0898> (8799)

like their fathers
<01>_:

they were turned aside
<02015> (8738)

like a deceitful
<07423>

bow
<07198>_.

78:58

For they provoked him to anger
<03707> (8686)

with their high places
<01116>_,

and moved him to jealousy
<07065> (8686)

with their graven images
<06456>_.

78:59

When God
<0430>

heard
<08085> (8804)

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

and greatly
<03966>

abhorred
<03988> (8799)

Israel
<03478>_:

78:60

So that he forsook
<05203> (8799)

the tabernacle
<04908>

of Shiloh
<07887>_,

the tent
<0168>

[which] he placed
<07931> (8765)

among men
<0120>_;

78:61

And delivered
<05414> (8799)

his strength
<05797>

into captivity
<07628>_,

and his glory
<08597>

into the enemy's
<06862>

hand
<03027>_.

78:62

He gave
<05462> (0)

his people
<05971>

over
<05462> (8686)

also unto the sword
<02719>_;

and was wroth
<05674> (8694)

with his inheritance
<05159>_.

78:63

The fire
<0784>

consumed
<0398> (8804)

their young men
<0970>_;

and their maidens
<01330>

were not given to marriage
<01984> (8795)_.

{given...: Heb. praised}

78:64

Their priests
<03548>

fell
<05307> (8804)

by the sword
<02719>_;

and their widows
<0490>

made no lamentation
<01058> (8799)_.

78:65

Then the Lord
<0136>

awaked
<03364> (8799)

as one out of sleep
<03463>_,

[and] like a mighty man
<01368>

that shouteth
<07442> (8711)

by reason of wine
<03196>_.

78:66

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

his enemies
<06862>

in the hinder parts
<0268>_:

he put
<05414> (8804)

them to a perpetual
<05769>

reproach
<02781>_.

78:67

Moreover he refused
<03988> (8799)

the tabernacle
<0168>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

and chose
<0977> (8804)

not the tribe
<07626>

of Ephraim
<0669>_:

78:68

But chose
<0977> (8799)

the tribe
<07626>

of Judah
<03063>_,

the mount
<02022>

Zion
<06726>

which he loved
<0157> (8804)_.

78:69

And he built
<01129> (8799)

his sanctuary
<04720>

like high
<07311> (8802)

[palaces], like the earth
<0776>

which he hath established
<03245> (8804)

for ever
<05769>_.

{established: Heb. founded}

78:70

He chose
<0977> (8799)

David
<01732>

also his servant
<05650>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

him from the sheepfolds
<04356> <06629>_:

78:71

From following
<0310>

the ewes great with young
<05763> (8802)

he brought
<0935> (8689)

him to feed
<07462> (8800)

Jacob
<03290>

his people
<05971>_,

and Israel
<03478>

his inheritance
<05159>_.

{following: Heb. after}

78:72

So he fed
<07462> (8686)

them according to the integrity
<08537>

of his heart
<03824>_;

and guided
<05148> (8686)

them by the skilfulness
<08394>

of his hands
<03709>_.
