# Chapter 78
|
||||
1 My people, hear my instruction;
|
||||
listen to the words from my mouth.
|
||||
2 I will declare wise sayings;
|
||||
I will speak mysteries from the past—
|
||||
3 things we have heard and known
|
||||
and that our ancestors have passed down to us.
|
||||
4 We will not hide them from their children,
|
||||
but will tell a future generation
|
||||
the praiseworthy acts of the Lord,
|
||||
his might, and the wondrous works
|
||||
he has performed.
|
||||
5 He established a testimony in Jacob
|
||||
and set up a law in Israel,
|
||||
which he commanded our ancestors
|
||||
to teach to their children
|
||||
6 so that a future generation—
|
||||
children yet to be born—might know.
|
||||
They were to rise and tell their children
|
||||
7 so that they might put their confidence in God
|
||||
and not forget God’s works,
|
||||
but keep his commands.
|
||||
8 Then they would not be like their ancestors,
|
||||
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
|
||||
a generation whose heart was not loyal
|
||||
and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
|
||||
9 The Ephraimite archers turned back
|
||||
on the day of battle.
|
||||
10 They did not keep God’s covenant
|
||||
and refused to live by his law.
|
||||
11 They forgot what he had done,
|
||||
the wondrous works he had shown them.
|
||||
12 He worked wonders in the sight of their ancestors
|
||||
in the land of Egypt, the territory of Zoan.
|
||||
13 He split the sea and brought them across;
|
||||
the water stood firm like a wall.
|
||||
14 He led them with a cloud by day
|
||||
and with a fiery light throughout the night.
|
||||
15 He split rocks in the wilderness
|
||||
and gave them drink as abundant as the depths.
|
||||
16 He brought streams out of the stone
|
||||
and made water flow down like rivers.
|
||||
17 But they continued to sin against him,
|
||||
rebelling in the desert against the Most High.
|
||||
18 They deliberately tested God,
|
||||
demanding the food they craved.
|
||||
19 They spoke against God, saying,
|
||||
“Is God able to provide food in the wilderness?
|
||||
20 Look! He struck the rock and water gushed out;
|
||||
torrents overflowed.
|
||||
But can he also provide bread
|
||||
or furnish meat for his people?”
|
||||
21 Therefore, the Lord heard and became furious;
|
||||
then fire broke out against Jacob,
|
||||
and anger flared up against Israel
|
||||
22 because they did not believe God
|
||||
or rely on his salvation.
|
||||
23 He gave a command to the clouds above
|
||||
and opened the doors of heaven.
|
||||
24 He rained manna for them to eat;
|
||||
he gave them grain from heaven.
|
||||
25 People ate the bread of angels.
|
||||
He sent them an abundant supply of food.
|
||||
26 He made the east wind blow in the skies
|
||||
and drove the south wind by his might.
|
||||
27 He rained meat on them like dust,
|
||||
and winged birds like the sand of the seas.
|
||||
28 He made them fall in the camp,
|
||||
all around the tents.
|
||||
29 The people ate and were completely satisfied,
|
||||
for he gave them what they craved.
|
||||
30 Before they had turned from what they craved,
|
||||
while the food was still in their mouths,
|
||||
31 God’s anger flared up against them,
|
||||
and he killed some of their best men.
|
||||
He struck down Israel’s fit young men.
|
||||
32 Despite all this, they kept sinning
|
||||
and did not believe his wondrous works.
|
||||
33 He made their days end in futility,
|
||||
their years in sudden disaster.
|
||||
34 When he killed some of them,
|
||||
the rest began to seek him;
|
||||
they repented and searched for God.
|
||||
35 They remembered that God was their rock,
|
||||
the Most High God, their Redeemer.
|
||||
36 But they deceived him with their mouths,
|
||||
they lied to him with their tongues,
|
||||
37 their hearts were insincere toward him,
|
||||
and they were unfaithful to his covenant.
|
||||
38 Yet he was compassionate;
|
||||
he atoned for their iniquity
|
||||
and did not destroy them.
|
||||
He often turned his anger aside
|
||||
and did not unleash all his wrath.
|
||||
39 He remembered that they were only flesh,
|
||||
a wind that passes and does not return.
|
||||
40 How often they rebelled against him
|
||||
in the wilderness
|
||||
and grieved him in the desert.
|
||||
41 They constantly tested God
|
||||
and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
|
||||
42 They did not remember his power shown
|
||||
on the day he redeemed them from the foe,
|
||||
43 when he performed his miraculous signs in Egypt
|
||||
and his wonders in the territory of Zoan.
|
||||
44 He turned their rivers into blood,
|
||||
and they could not drink from their streams.
|
||||
45 He sent among them swarms of flies,
|
||||
which fed on them,
|
||||
and frogs, which devastated them.
|
||||
46 He gave their crops to the caterpillar
|
||||
and the fruit of their labor to the locust.
|
||||
47 He killed their vines with hail
|
||||
and their sycamore fig trees with a flood.
|
||||
48 He handed over their livestock to hail
|
||||
and their cattle to lightning bolts.
|
||||
49 He sent his burning anger against them:
|
||||
fury, indignation, and calamity—
|
||||
a band of deadly messengers.
|
||||
50 He cleared a path for his anger.
|
||||
He did not spare them from death
|
||||
but delivered their lives to the plague.
|
||||
51 He struck all the firstborn in Egypt,
|
||||
the first progeny of the tents of Ham.
|
||||
52 He led his people out like sheep
|
||||
and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.
|
||||
53 He led them safely, and they were not afraid;
|
||||
but the sea covered their enemies.
|
||||
54 He brought them to his holy territory,
|
||||
to the mountain his right hand acquired.
|
||||
55 He drove out nations before them.
|
||||
He apportioned their inheritance by lot
|
||||
and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
|
||||
56 But they rebelliously tested the Most High God,
|
||||
for they did not keep his decrees.
|
||||
57 They treacherously turned away like their ancestors;
|
||||
they became warped like a faulty bow.
|
||||
58 They enraged him with their high places
|
||||
and provoked his jealousy with their carved images.
|
||||
59 God heard and became furious;
|
||||
he completely rejected Israel.
|
||||
60 He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh,
|
||||
the tent where he resided among mankind.
|
||||
61 He gave up his strength to captivity
|
||||
and his splendor to the hand of a foe.
|
||||
62 He surrendered his people to the sword
|
||||
because he was enraged with his heritage.
|
||||
63 Fire consumed his chosen young men,
|
||||
and his young women had no wedding songs.
|
||||
64 His priests fell by the sword,
|
||||
and the widows could not lament.
|
||||
65 The Lord awoke as if from sleep,
|
||||
like a warrior from the effects of wine.
|
||||
66 He beat back his foes;
|
||||
he gave them lasting disgrace.
|
||||
67 He rejected the tent of Joseph
|
||||
and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
|
||||
68 He chose instead the tribe of Judah,
|
||||
Mount Zion, which he loved.
|
||||
69 He built his sanctuary like the heights,
|
||||
like the earth that he established forever.
|
||||
70 He chose David his servant
|
||||
and took him from the sheep pens;
|
||||
71 he brought him from tending ewes
|
||||
to be shepherd over his people Jacob—
|
||||
over Israel, his inheritance.
|
||||
72 He shepherded them with a pure heart
|
||||
and guided them with his skillful hands.
