Psalms 78:1-72

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>_.

78:34

When he slew
<02026> (8804)

them, then they sought
<01875> (8804)

him: and they returned
<07725> (8804)

and enquired early
<07836> (8765)

after God
<0410>_.

78:35

And they remembered
<02142> (8799)

that God
<0430>

[was] their rock
<06697>_,

and the high
<05945>

God
<0410>

their redeemer
<01350> (8802)_.

78:36

Nevertheless they did flatter
<06601> (8762)

him with their mouth
<06310>_,

and they lied
<03576> (8762)

unto him with their tongues
<03956>_.

78:37

For their heart
<03820>

was not right
<03559> (8737)

with him, neither were they stedfast
<0539> (8738)

in his covenant
<01285>_.

78:38

But he, [being] full of compassion
<07349>_,

forgave
<03722> (8762)

[their] iniquity
<05771>_,

and destroyed
<07843> (8686)

[them] not: yea, many a time
<07235> (8689)

turned
<07725> (0)

he his anger
<0639>

away
<07725> (8687)_,

and did not stir up
<05782> (8686)

all his wrath
<02534>_.

78:39

For he remembered
<02142> (8799)

that they [were but] flesh
<01320>_;

a wind
<07307>

that passeth away
<01980> (8802)_,

and cometh not again
<07725> (8799)_.

78:40

How
<04100>

oft did they provoke
<04784> (8686)

him in the wilderness
<04057>_,

[and] grieve
<06087> (8686)

him in the desert
<03452>_!

{provoke: or, rebel against}

78:41

Yea, they turned back
<07725> (8799)

and tempted
<05254> (8762)

God
<0410>_,

and limited
<08428> (8689)

the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_.

78:42

They remembered
<02142> (8804)

not his hand
<03027>_,

[nor] the day
<03117>

when he delivered
<06299> (8804)

them from the enemy
<06862>_.

{from...: or, from affliction}

78:43

How he had wrought
<07760> (8804)

his signs
<0226>

in Egypt
<04714>_,

and his wonders
<04159>

in the field
<07704>

of Zoan
<06814>_:

{wrought: Heb. set}

78:44

And had turned
<02015> (8799)

their rivers
<02975>

into blood
<01818>_;

and their floods
<05140> (8802)_,

that they could not drink
<08354> (8799)_.

78:45

He sent
<07971> (8762)

divers sorts of flies
<06157>

among them, which devoured
<0398> (8799)

them; and frogs
<06854>_,

which destroyed
<07843> (8686)

them.

78:46

He gave
<05414> (8799)

also their increase
<02981>

unto the caterpiller
<02625>_,

and their labour
<03018>

unto the locust
<0697>_.

78:47

He destroyed
<02026> (8799)

their vines
<01612>

with hail
<01259>_,

and their sycomore trees
<08256>

with frost
<02602>_.

{destroyed: Heb. killed} {frost: or, great hailstones}

78:48

He gave up
<05462> (8686)

their cattle
<01165>

also to the hail
<01259>_,

and their flocks
<04735>

to hot thunderbolts
<07565>_.

{gave...: Heb. shut up} {hot...: or, lightnings}

78:49

He cast
<07971> (8762)

upon them the fierceness
<02740>

of his anger
<0639>_,

wrath
<05678>_,

and indignation
<02195>_,

and trouble
<06869>_,

by sending
<04917>

evil
<07451>

angels
<04397>

[among them].

78:50

He made
<06424> (8762)

a way
<05410>

to his anger
<0639>_;

he spared
<02820> (8804)

not their soul
<05315>

from death
<04194>_,

but gave
<05462> (0)

their life
<02416>

over
<05462> (8689)

to the pestilence
<01698>_;

{He made...: Heb. He weighed a path} {life...: or, beasts to the murrain}

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>
