Psalms 78
Give
a
ear,
O
my
people,
to
my
law:
incline
your
ears
to
the
words
of
my
mouth.
2 I
will
open
my
mouth
in
a
a
parable:
I
will
utter
dark
sayings
of
old:
3 Which
we
have
heard
and
known,
and
our
a
fathers
have
told
us.
4 We
will
not
a
hide
them
from
their
children,
b
shewing
to
the
generation
to
come
the
praises
of
the
Lord,
and
his
strength,
and
his
wonderful
works
that
he
hath
done.
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
a
children:
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:
7 That
they
might
set
their
hope
in
God,
and
not
forget
the
works
of
God,
but
keep
his
commandments:
8 And
might
not
be
as
their
a
fathers,
a
b
stubborn
and
c
rebellious
generation;
a
generation
that
set
not
their
heart
aright,
and
whose
spirit
was
not
steadfast
with
God.
9 The
children
of
Ephraim,
being
armed,
and
carrying
bows,
turned
back
in
the
day
of
battle.
10 They
kept
not
the
a
covenant
of
God,
and
refused
to
walk
in
his
law;
11 And
forgat
his
works,
and
his
wonders
that
he
had
shewed
them.
12
a
Marvellous
things
did
he
in
the
sight
of
their
fathers,
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
in
the
field
of
b
Zoan.
13 He
a
divided
the
sea,
and
caused
them
to
pass
through;
and
he
made
the
waters
to
stand
as
an
heap.
14 In
the
daytime
also
he
led
them
with
a
a
cloud,
and
all
the
night
with
a
light
of
fire.
15 He
a
clave
the
rocks
in
the
wilderness,
and
gave
them
drink
as
out
of
the
great
depths.
16 He
brought
streams
also
out
of
the
rock,
and
caused
waters
to
run
down
like
rivers.
17 And
they
sinned
yet
more
against
him
by
provoking
the
most
High
in
the
wilderness.
18 And
they
tempted
God
in
their
heart
by
asking
a
meat
for
their
b
lust.
19 Yea,
they
spake
against
God;
they
said,
Can
God
furnish
a
a
table
in
the
wilderness?
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?
21 Therefore
the
Lord
heard
this,
and
was
wroth:
so
a
a
fire
was
kindled
against
Jacob,
and
anger
also
came
up
against
Israel;
22 Because
they
a
believed
not
in
God,
and
b
trusted
not
in
his
salvation:
23 Though
he
had
commanded
the
clouds
from
above,
and
opened
the
doors
of
heaven,
24 And
had
rained
down
manna
upon
them
to
eat,
and
had
given
them
of
the
a
corn
of
heaven.
25 Man
did
eat
a
angels'
food:
he
sent
them
meat
to
the
full.
26 He
caused
an
a
east
wind
to
blow
in
the
heaven:
and
by
his
power
he
brought
in
the
south
wind.
27 He
rained
flesh
also
upon
them
as
dust,
and
feathered
a
fowls
like
as
the
sand
of
the
sea:
28 And
he
let
it
fall
in
the
midst
of
their
camp,
round
about
their
habitations.
29 So
they
did
eat,
and
were
well
filled:
for
he
gave
them
their
own
desire;
30 They
were
not
estranged
from
their
a
lust.
But
while
their
meat
was
yet
in
their
mouths,
31 The
wrath
of
God
came
upon
them,
and
slew
the
fattest
of
them,
and
smote
down
the
chosen
men
of
Israel.
32 For
all
this
they
sinned
still,
and
believed
not
for
his
wondrous
works.
33 Therefore
their
days
did
he
consume
in
a
vanity,
and
their
years
in
trouble.
34 When
he
a
slew
them,
then
they
sought
him:
and
they
b
returned
and
c
inquired
early
after
God.
35 And
they
remembered
that
God
was
their
a
rock,
and
the
high
God
their
redeemer.
36 Nevertheless
they
did
a
flatter
him
with
their
mouth,
and
they
b
lied
unto
him
with
their
tongues.
37 For
their
a
heart
was
not
right
with
him,
neither
were
they
b
steadfast
in
his
covenant.
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.
39 For
he
remembered
that
they
were
but
a
flesh;
a
wind
that
passeth
away,
and
cometh
not
again.
40 How
oft
did
they
a
provoke
him
in
the
wilderness,
and
grieve
him
in
the
desert!
41 Yea,
they
turned
back
and
tempted
God,
and
limited
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
42 They
remembered
not
his
hand,
nor
the
day
when
he
delivered
them
from
the
enemy.
43 How
he
had
wrought
his
signs
in
Egypt,
and
his
wonders
in
the
field
of
Zoan:
44 And
had
turned
their
rivers
into
blood;
and
their
a
floods,
that
they
could
not
drink.
45 He
sent
divers
sorts
of
flies
among
them,
which
devoured
them;
and
frogs,
which
destroyed
them.
46 He
gave
also
their
increase
unto
the
caterpiller,
and
their
labour
unto
the
a
locust.
47 He
destroyed
their
vines
with
a
hail,
and
their
sycomore
trees
with
frost.
48 He
gave
up
their
cattle
also
to
the
hail,
and
their
flocks
to
hot
thunderbolts.
49 He
cast
upon
them
the
fierceness
of
his
anger,
wrath,
and
indignation,
and
trouble,
by
sending
a
evil
angels
among
them.
50 He
made
a
way
to
his
anger;
he
spared
not
their
soul
from
death,
but
gave
their
life
over
to
the
pestilence;
51 And
smote
all
the
a
firstborn
in
Egypt;
the
chief
of
their
strength
in
the
b
tabernacles
of
c
Ham:
52 But
made
his
own
people
to
go
forth
like
sheep,
and
guided
them
in
the
wilderness
like
a
flock.
53 And
he
led
them
on
safely,
so
that
they
feared
not:
but
the
a
sea
overwhelmed
their
enemies.
54 And
he
brought
them
a
to
the
border
of
his
sanctuary,
even
to
this
mountain,
which
his
right
hand
had
purchased.
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.
56 Yet
they
tempted
and
provoked
the
most
high
God,
and
kept
not
his
testimonies:
57 But
turned
back,
and
dealt
unfaithfully
like
their
fathers:
they
were
turned
aside
like
a
a
deceitful
bow.
58 For
they
a
provoked
him
to
anger
with
their
high
places,
and
moved
him
to
jealousy
with
their
graven
images.
59 When
God
heard
this,
he
was
wroth,
and
greatly
abhorred
Israel:
60 So
that
he
forsook
the
tabernacle
of
a
Shiloh,
the
tent
which
he
placed
among
men;
61 And
delivered
his
strength
into
captivity,
and
his
glory
into
the
enemy's
hand.
62 He
gave
his
people
over
also
unto
the
sword;
and
was
wroth
with
his
inheritance.
63 The
fire
consumed
their
young
men;
and
their
maidens
were
not
given
to
marriage.
64 Their
priests
fell
by
the
sword;
and
their
widows
made
no
lamentation.
65 Then
the
Lord
a
awaked
as
one
out
of
sleep,
and
like
a
mighty
man
that
shouteth
by
reason
of
wine.
66 And
he
smote
his
enemies
in
the
hinder
parts:
he
put
them
to
a
perpetual
reproach.
67 Moreover
he
refused
the
tabernacle
of
Joseph,
and
chose
not
the
tribe
of
Ephraim:
68 But
chose
the
tribe
of
Judah,
the
mount
Zion
which
he
loved.
69 And
he
built
his
sanctuary
like
high
palaces,
like
the
earth
which
he
hath
established
for
a
ever.
70 He
chose
a
David
also
his
servant,
and
took
him
from
the
sheepfolds:
71 From
following
the
ewes
great
with
young
he
brought
him
to
feed
Jacob
his
people,
and
Israel
his
inheritance.
72 So
he
fed
them
according
to
the
a
integrity
of
his
heart;
and
guided
them
by
the
skilfulness
of
his
hands.
