# Chapter 78
|
||||
1 Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;
|
||||
incline your ears to the words of my mouth!
|
||||
2 I will open my mouth in a parable;
|
||||
I will utter dark sayings from of old,
|
||||
3 things that we have heard and known,
|
||||
that our fathers have told us.
|
||||
4 We will not hide them from their children,
|
||||
but tell to the coming generation
|
||||
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
|
||||
and the wonders that he has done.
|
||||
5 He established a testimony in Jacob
|
||||
and appointed a law in Israel,
|
||||
which he commanded our fathers
|
||||
to teach to their children,
|
||||
6 that the next generation might know them,
|
||||
the children yet unborn,
|
||||
and arise and tell them to their children,
|
||||
7 so that they should set their hope in God
|
||||
and not forget the works of God,
|
||||
but keep his commandments;
|
||||
8 and that they should not be like their fathers,
|
||||
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
|
||||
a generation whose heart was not steadfast,
|
||||
whose spirit was not faithful to God.
|
||||
9 The Ephraimites, armed with the bow,
|
||||
turned back on the day of battle.
|
||||
10 They did not keep God's covenant,
|
||||
but refused to walk according to his law.
|
||||
11 They forgot his works
|
||||
and the wonders that he had shown them.
|
||||
12 In the sight of their fathers he performed wonders
|
||||
in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.
|
||||
13 He divided the sea and let them pass through it,
|
||||
and made the waters stand like a heap.
|
||||
14 In the daytime he led them with a cloud,
|
||||
and all the night with a fiery light.
|
||||
15 He split rocks in the wilderness
|
||||
and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
|
||||
16 He made streams come out of the rock
|
||||
and caused waters to flow down like rivers.
|
||||
17 Yet they sinned still more against him,
|
||||
rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
|
||||
18 They tested God in their heart
|
||||
by demanding the food they craved.
|
||||
19 They spoke against God, saying,
|
||||
“Can God spread a table in the wilderness?
|
||||
20 He struck the rock so that water gushed out
|
||||
and streams overflowed.
|
||||
Can he also give bread
|
||||
or provide meat for his people?”
|
||||
21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath;
|
||||
a fire was kindled against Jacob;
|
||||
his anger rose against Israel,
|
||||
22 because they did not believe in God
|
||||
and did not trust his saving power.
|
||||
23 Yet he commanded the skies above
|
||||
and opened the doors of heaven,
|
||||
24 and he rained down on them manna to eat
|
||||
and gave them the grain of heaven.
|
||||
25 Man ate of the bread of the angels;
|
||||
he sent them food in abundance.
|
||||
26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,
|
||||
and by his power he led out the south wind;
|
||||
27 he rained meat on them like dust,
|
||||
winged birds like the sand of the seas;
|
||||
28 he let them fall in the midst of their camp,
|
||||
all around their dwellings.
|
||||
29 And they ate and were well filled,
|
||||
for he gave them what they craved.
|
||||
30 But before they had satisfied their craving,
|
||||
while the food was still in their mouths,
|
||||
31 the anger of God rose against them,
|
||||
and he killed the strongest of them
|
||||
and laid low the young men of Israel.
|
||||
32 In spite of all this, they still sinned;
|
||||
despite his wonders, they did not believe.
|
||||
33 So he made their days vanish like a breath,
|
||||
and their years in terror.
|
||||
34 When he killed them, they sought him;
|
||||
they repented and sought God earnestly.
|
||||
35 They remembered that God was their rock,
|
||||
the Most High God their redeemer.
|
||||
36 But they flattered him with their mouths;
|
||||
they lied to him with their tongues.
|
||||
37 Their heart was not steadfast toward him;
|
||||
they were not faithful to his covenant.
|
||||
38 Yet he, being compassionate,
|
||||
atoned for their iniquity
|
||||
and did not destroy them;
|
||||
he restrained his anger often
|
||||
and did not stir up all his wrath.
|
||||
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,
|
||||
a wind that passes and comes not again.
|
||||
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness
|
||||
and grieved him in the desert!
|
||||
41 They tested God again and again
|
||||
and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
|
||||
42 They did not remember his power
|
||||
or the day when he redeemed them from the foe,
|
||||
43 when he performed his signs in Egypt
|
||||
and his marvels in the fields of Zoan.
|
||||
44 He turned their rivers to blood,
|
||||
so that they could not drink of their streams.
|
||||
45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them,
|
||||
and frogs, which destroyed them.
|
||||
46 He gave their crops to the destroying locust
|
||||
and the fruit of their labor to the locust.
|
||||
47 He destroyed their vines with hail
|
||||
and their sycamores with frost.
|
||||
48 He gave over their cattle to the hail
|
||||
and their flocks to thunderbolts.
|
||||
49 He let loose on them his burning anger,
|
||||
wrath, indignation, and distress,
|
||||
a company of destroying angels.
|
||||
50 He made a path for his anger;
|
||||
he did not spare them from death,
|
||||
but gave their lives over to the plague.
|
||||
51 He struck down every firstborn in Egypt,
|
||||
the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.
|
||||
52 Then he led out his people like sheep
|
||||
and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
|
||||
53 He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid,
|
||||
but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
|
||||
54 And he brought them to his holy land,
|
||||
to the mountain which his right hand had won.
|
||||
55 He drove out nations before them;
|
||||
he apportioned them for a possession
|
||||
and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
|
||||
56 Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God
|
||||
and did not keep his testimonies,
|
||||
57 but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;
|
||||
they twisted like a deceitful bow.
|
||||
58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places;
|
||||
they moved him to jealousy with their idols.
|
||||
59 When God heard, he was full of wrath,
|
||||
and he utterly rejected Israel.
|
||||
60 He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh,
|
||||
the tent where he dwelt among mankind,
|
||||
61 and delivered his power to captivity,
|
||||
his glory to the hand of the foe.
|
||||
62 He gave his people over to the sword
|
||||
and vented his wrath on his heritage.
|
||||
63 Fire devoured their young men,
|
||||
and their young women had no marriage song.
|
||||
64 Their priests fell by the sword,
|
||||
and their widows made no lamentation.
|
||||
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,
|
||||
like a strong man shouting because of wine.
|
||||
66 And he put his adversaries to rout;
|
||||
he put them to everlasting shame.
|
||||
67 He rejected the tent of Joseph;
|
||||
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
|
||||
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,
|
||||
Mount Zion, which he loves.
|
||||
69 He built his sanctuary like the high heavens,
|
||||
like the earth, which he has founded forever.
|
||||
70 He chose David his servant
|
||||
and took him from the sheepfolds;
|
||||
71 from following the nursing ewes he brought him
|
||||
to shepherd Jacob his people,
|
||||
Israel his inheritance.
|
||||
72 With upright heart he shepherded them
|
||||
and guided them with his skillful hand.
