78 iGive ear, O my people, to my teaching;
that our lfathers have told us.
4 We will not mhide them from their children,
but ntell to the coming generation
and othe wonders that he has done.
and appointed a law in qIsrael,
6 that rthe next generation might know them,
and not forget sthe works of God,
but tkeep his commandments;
8 and that they should not be ulike their fathers,
va stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation wwhose heart was not steadfast,
9 The Ephraimites, armed with2 the bow,
xturned back on the day of battle.
10 They ydid not keep God's covenant,
11 They zforgot his works
and athe wonders that he had shown them.
12 In the sight of their fathers bhe performed wonders
in the land of Egypt, in cthe fields of Zoan.
13 He ddivided the sea and let them pass through it,
and made the waters estand like a heap.
14 fIn the daytime he led them with a cloud,
15 He gsplit rocks in the wilderness
16 He made streams come out of hthe rock
irebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18 They jtested God in their heart
20 mHe struck the rock so that water gushed out
na fire was kindled against Jacob;
22 because they odid not believe in God
and popened the doors of heaven,
24 and he qrained down on them manna to eat
and gave them rthe grain of heaven.
25 Man ate of the bread of sthe angels;
he sent them food tin abundance.
26 He ucaused the east wind to blow in the heavens,
27 he rained meat on them like vdust,
winged birds like wthe sand of the seas;
28 he xlet them fall in the midst of their camp,
29 And they yate and were well filled,
for he gave them what they zcraved.
awhile the food was still in their mouths,
and he killed bthe strongest of them
and laid low cthe young men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this, they dstill sinned;
edespite his wonders, they did not believe.
34 When he killed them, they hsought him;
35 They remembered that God was their irock,
the Most High God their jredeemer.
36 But they kflattered him with their mouths;
they llied to him with their tongues.
38 Yet he, being ocompassionate,
patoned for their iniquity
sa wind that passes and comes not again.
40 How often they trebelled against him in the wilderness
41 They wtested God again and again
and provoked xthe Holy One of Israel.
44 He dturned their rivers to blood,
45 He sent among them swarms of eflies, which devoured them,
and ffrogs, which destroyed them.
46 He gave their crops to gthe destroying locust
47 He destroyed their vines with hhail
48 He gave over their icattle to the hail
a company of jdestroying angels.
51 He struck down every kfirstborn in Egypt,
the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of lHam.
52 Then he led out his people mlike sheep
but pthe sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54 And he brought them to his qholy land,
55 He tdrove out nations before them;
he uapportioned them for a possession
they twisted like xa deceitful bow.
59 When God heard, he was full of cwrath,
61 and delivered his fpower to captivity,
his gglory to the hand of the foe.
62 He hgave his people over to the sword
and ivented his wrath on his heritage.
63 jFire devoured their young men,
and their young women had no kmarriage song.
64 Their lpriests fell by the sword,
and their mwidows made no lamentation.
65 Then the Lord nawoke as from sleep,
66 And he oput his adversaries to rout;
67 He rejected the tent of pJoseph;
Mount Zion, which he qloves.
69 He rbuilt his sanctuary like the high heavens,
70 He schose David his servant
71 from tfollowing the nursing ewes he brought him
to ushepherd Jacob his people,
Israel his vinheritance.
72 With wupright heart he shepherded them
and xguided them with his skillful hand.
