PSALM 78
God’s Guidance of His People in Spite of Their Unfaithfulness.
A [fn]Maskil of Asaph.
1 Listen H238, my people H5971, to my [fn]instruction H8451;
Incline H5186 your ears H241 to the words H561 of my mouth H6310.
2 I will open H6605 my mouth H6310 in a parable H4912;
I will tell H5042 riddles H2420 of old H6924,
3 Which H834 we have heard H8085 and known H3045,
And our fathers H1 have told H5608 us.
4 We will not conceal H3582 them from their children H1121,
But we will tell H5608 the generation H1755 to come H314 the praises H8416 of the LORD H3068,
And His power H5807 and His wondrous H6381 works H6381 that He has done H6213.
5 For He established H6965 a testimony H5715 in Jacob H3290,
And appointed H7760 a law H8451 in Israel H3478,
Which H834 He commanded H6680 our fathers H1
That they were to [fn]teach H3045 them to their children H1121,
6 So H4616 that H4616 the generation H1755 to come H314 would know H3045, the children H1121 yet to be born H3205,
That they would arise H6965 and tell H5608 them to their children H1121,
7 So that they would put H7760 their confidence H3689 in God H430
And not forget H7911 the works H4611 of God H410,
But comply H5341 with H5341 His commandments H4687,
8 And not be like their fathers H1,
A stubborn H5637 and rebellious H4784 generation H1755,
A generation H1755 that did not [fn]prepare H3559 its heart H3820
And whose spirit H7307 was not faithful H539 to God H410.
9 The sons H1121 of Ephraim H669 [fn]were archers H7411 equipped H5401 with bows H7198,
Yet they turned H2015 back H2015 on the day H3117 of battle H7128.
10 They did not keep H8104 the covenant H1285 of God H430
And refused H3985 to walk H1980 in His Law H8451;
11 They forgot H7911 His deeds H5949
And His [fn]miracles H6381 that He had shown H7200 them.
12 He performed H6213 wonders H6382 before H5048 their fathers H1
In the land H776 of Egypt H4714, in the field H7704 of Zoan H6814.
13 He divided H1234 the sea H3220 and caused them to pass H5674 through H5674,
And He made the waters H4325 stand H5324 up H5324 like H3644 a heap H5067.
14 Then He led H5148 them with the cloud H6051 by day H3119
And all H3605 the night H3915 with a light H216 of fire H784.
15 He split H1234 the rocks H6697 in the wilderness H4057
And gave H8248 them plenty H7227 to H8248 drink H8248 like the ocean H8415 depths H8415.
16 He brought H3318 forth H3318 streams H5140 from the rock H5553
And made waters H4325 run H3381 down H3381 like rivers H5104.
17 Yet they still H5750 continued H3254 to sin H2398 against Him,
To rebel H4784 against the Most H5945 High H5945 in the desert H6723.
18 And in their heart H3824 they put H5254 God H410 to H5254 the H5254 test H5254
By asking H7592 for food H3978 [fn]that suited their taste H5315.
19 Then they spoke H1696 against God H430;
They said H559, “Can H3201 God H410 prepare H6186 a table H7979 in the wilderness H4057?
20 “Behold H2005, He struck H5221 the rock H6697 so that waters H4325 gushed H2100 out H2100,
And streams H5158 were overflowing H7857;
Can H3201 He also H1571 provide H5414 bread H3899?
Will He prepare H3559 meat H7607 for His people H5971?”
21 Therefore H3651 the LORD H3068 heard H8085 and [fn]was H5674 full H5674 of H5674 wrath H5674;
And a fire H784 was kindled H5400 against Jacob H3290,
And anger H639 also H1571 mounted H5927 against Israel H3478,
22 Because H3588 they did not believe H539 in God H430
And did not trust H982 in His salvation H3444.
23 Yet He commanded H6680 the clouds H7834 above H4480 H4605
And opened H6605 the doors H1817 of heaven H8064;
24 He rained H4305 down H4305 manna H4478 upon them to eat H398,
And gave H5414 them [fn]food H1715 from heaven H8064.
25 Man H376 ate H398 the bread H3899 of [fn]angels H47;
He sent H7971 them [fn]food H6720 [fn]in abundance H7648.
26 He made the east H6921 wind H6921 blow H5265 in the sky H8064
And by His [fn]power H5797 He directed H5090 the south H8486 wind H8486.
27 When He rained H4305 meat H7607 upon them like the dust H6083,
Even winged H3671 fowl H5775 like the sand H2344 of the seas H3220,
28 He let them fall H5307 in the midst H7130 of [fn]their camp H4264,
All H5439 around H5439 their dwellings H4908.
29 So they ate H398 and were well H3966 filled H7646,
And He [fn]satisfied H935 their longing H8378.
30 [fn]Yet before they had abandoned H2114 their longing H8378,
While H5750 their food H400 was in their mouths H6310,
31 The anger H639 of God H430 rose H5927 against them
And killed H2026 [fn]some of their strongest H4924 ones,
And [fn]subdued H3766 the choice H970 men H977 of Israel H3478.
32 In spite of all H3605 this H2088 they still H5750 sinned H2398
And did not believe H539 in His wonderful H6381 works H6381.
33 So He brought H3615 their days H3117 to H3615 an H3615 end H3615 in futility H1892,
And their years H8141 to an end in sudden H928 terror H928.
34 When H518 He killed H2026 them, then they sought H1875 Him,
And they returned H7725 and searched H7836 diligently H7836 for God H410;
35 And they remembered H2142 that God H430 was their rock H6697,
And the Most H5945 High H5945 God H410 their Redeemer H1350.
36 But they flattered H6601 Him with their mouth H6310
And lied H3576 to Him with their tongue H3956.
37 For their heart H3820 was not steadfast H3559 toward H5973 Him,
Nor H3808 were they faithful H539 with His covenant H1285.
38 But He, being compassionate H7349, [fn]forgave H3722 their wrongdoing H5771 and did not destroy H7843 them;
And often H7235 He [fn]restrained H7725 His anger H639
And did not stir H5782 up H5782 all H3605 His wrath H2534.
39 So He remembered H2142 that they were only flesh H1320,
A [fn]wind H7307 that passes H1980 and does not return H7725.
40 How H4100 often H4100 they rebelled H4784 against Him in the wilderness H4057
And grieved H6087 Him in the desert H3452!
41 Again H7725 and again they [fn]tempted H5254 God H410,
And pained H8428 the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478.
42 They did not remember H2142 His [fn]power H3027,
The day H3117 when H834 He redeemed H6299 them from the enemy H6862,
43 When H834 He performed H7760 His signs H226 in Egypt H4714
And His marvels H4159 in the field H7704 of Zoan H6814,
44 And turned H2015 their rivers H2975 to blood H1818,
And their streams H5140, so that they could not drink H8354.
45 He sent H7971 swarms H6157 of H6157 flies H6157 among them that devoured H398 them,
And frogs H6854 that destroyed H7843 them.
46 He also gave H5414 their crops H2981 to the grasshopper H2625
And the product H3018 of H3018 their labor H3018 to the locust H697.
47 He [fn]destroyed H2026 their vines H1612 with hailstones H1259
And their sycamore H8256 trees H8256 with frost H2602.
48 He also turned H5462 their cattle H1165 over H5462 to the hailstones H1259,
And their herds H4735 to bolts H7565 of H7565 lightning H7565.
49 He sent H7971 His burning H2740 anger H639 upon them,
Fury H5678 and indignation H2195 and trouble H6869,
A band H4917 of [fn]destroying H7451 angels H4397.
50 He leveled H6424 a path H5410 for His anger H639;
He did not spare H2820 their souls H5315 from death H4194,
But turned H5462 their lives H2416 over H5462 to the plague H1698,
51 And struck H5221 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 in Egypt H4714,
The first H7225 and H7225 best H7225 of their vigor H202 in the tents H168 of Ham H2526.
52 But He led H5265 His own people H5971 out H5265 like sheep H6629,
And guided H5090 them in the wilderness H4057 like a flock H5739;
53 He led H5148 them safely H983, so that they did not fear H6342;
But the sea H3220 engulfed H3680 their enemies H340.
54 So He brought H935 them to His holy H6944 [fn]land H1366,
To this H2088 [fn]hill H2022 country H2022 which His right H3225 hand H3225 had gained H7069.
55 He also drove H1644 out H1644 the nations H1471 from them
And apportioned H5307 them as an inheritance H5159 by measurement H2256,
And had the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 dwell H7931 in their tents H168.
56 Yet they [fn]tempted H5254 and rebelled H4784 against H854 the Most H5945 High H5945 God H430
And did not keep H8104 His testimonies H5713,
57 But turned H5472 back H5472 and acted H898 treacherously H898 like their fathers H1;
They turned H2015 aside H2015 like a treacherous H7423 bow H7198.
58 For they provoked H3707 Him with their high H1116 places H1116
And moved H7065 Him to H7065 jealousy H7065 with their carved H6456 images H6456.
59 When God H430 heard H8085 them, He [fn]was filled H5674 with H5674 wrath H5674
And He utterly H3966 rejected H3988 Israel H3478;
60 So that He abandoned H5203 the dwelling H4908 place H4908 at Shiloh H7887,
The tent H168 [fn]which He had pitched H7931 among people H120,
61 And He gave H5414 up H5414 His strength H5797 to captivity H7628
And His glory H8597 into the hand H3027 of the enemy H6862.
62 He also turned H5462 His people H5971 over H5462 to the sword H2719,
And [fn]was filled H5674 with H5674 wrath H5674 at His inheritance H5159.
63 Fire H784 devoured H398 [fn]His young H970 men H970,
And [fn]His virgins H1330 had H1984 no H3808 wedding H1984 songs H1984.
64 [fn]His priests H3548 fell H5307 by the sword H2719,
And [fn]His widows H490 could not weep H1058.
65 Then the Lord H136 awoke H3364 as if from sleep H3463,
Like a warrior H1368 [fn]overcome H7442 by wine H3196.
66 He [fn]drove H5221 His adversaries H6862 backward H268;
He put H5414 on them an everlasting H5769 disgrace H2781.
67 He also rejected H3988 the tent H168 of Joseph H3130,
And did not choose H977 the tribe H7626 of Ephraim H669,
68 But chose H977 the tribe H7626 of Judah H3063,
Mount H2022 Zion H6726, which H834 He loved H157.
69 And He built H1129 His sanctuary H4720 like H3644 the heights H7311,
Like the earth H776 which He has established H3245 forever H5769.
70 He also chose H977 His servant H5650 David H1732
And took H3947 him from the sheepfolds H6629 H4356;
71 From [fn]the care H310 of the [fn]ewes H5763 with H5763 nursing H5763 lambs H5763 He brought H935 him
To shepherd H7462 Jacob H3290 His people H5971,
And Israel H3478 His inheritance H5159.
72 So he shepherded H7462 them according to the integrity H8537 of his heart H3824,
