so that the next generation, children yet to be born, might know about them. They will grow up and tell their descendants about them.

They did not keep their covenant with God, and they refused to obey his law.

They forgot what he had done, the amazing things he had shown them.

He did amazing things in the sight of their ancestors, in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.

They insulted God, saying, “Is God really able to give us food in the wilderness?

Despite all this, they continued to sin, and did not trust him to do amazing things.

They did not remember what he had done, how he delivered them from the enemy,

when he performed his awesome deeds in Egypt, and his acts of judgment in the region of Zoan.

He gave their crops to the grasshopper, the fruit of their labor to the locust.

They made him angry with their pagan shrines, and made him jealous with their idols.

Pay back our neighbors in full! May they be insulted the same way they insulted you, O Lord!

He decreed it as a regulation in Joseph, when he attacked the land of Egypt. I heard a voice I did not recognize.

I said, ‘Listen, my people! I will warn you! O Israel, if only you would obey me!

They neither know nor understand. They stumble around in the dark, while all the foundations of the earth crumble.

I will listen to what God the Lord says. For he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers. Yet they must not return to their foolish ways.

Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance; then his splendor will again appear in our land.

None can compare to you among the gods, O Lord! Your exploits are incomparable!

For you are great and do amazing things. You alone are God.

Do you accomplish amazing things for the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and give you thanks? (Selah)

a God who is honored in the great angelic assembly, and more awesome than all who surround him?
