  78:1 ¶
[[[A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph.]] Give heed, O my people, to my law: incline your ear to the words of my mouth. |
|
78:1 ¶
[[Maschil°°
of Asaph.]]°
Give ear,°°
O my people,°
[to] my law:°
incline°°
your ears°
to the words°
of my mouth.° |
|
78:2
I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter dark sayings [which have been] from the beginning. |
|
78:2
I will open°°
my mouth°
in a parable:°
I will utter°°
dark sayings°
of°
old:° |
|
78:3
All which we have heard and known, and our fathers have declared to us. |
|
78:3
Which°
we have heard°°
and known,°°
and our fathers°
have told°°
us. |
|
78:4
They were not hid from their children to a second generations; [the fathers] declaring the praises of the Lord, and his mighty acts, and his wonders which he wrought. |
|
78:4
We will not°
hide°°
[them] from their children,°°
shewing°°
to the generation°
to come°
the praises°
of Yahweh,°
and his strength,°
and his wonderful works°°
that°
he hath done.°° |
|
78:5
And he raised up a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, to make it known to their children: |
|
78:5
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 children:° |
|
78:6
that another generation might know, even the sons which should be born; and they should arise and declare them to their children. |
|
78:6
That°
the generation°
to come°
might know°°
[them, even] the children°
[which] should be born;°°
[who] should arise°°
and declare°°
[them] to their children:° |
|
78:7
That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the works of God, but diligently seek his commandments. |
|
78:7
That they might set°°
their hope°
in Elohim,°
and not°
forget°°
the works°
of El,°
but keep°°
his commandments:° |
|
78:8
That they should not be as their fathers, a perverse and provoking generation; a generation which set not its heart aright, and its spirit was not steadfast with God. |
|
78:8
And might not°
be°
as their fathers,°
a stubborn°°
and rebellious°°
generation;°
a generation°
[that] set°°
not their heart°
aright,°°°°
and whose spirit°
was not°
stedfast°°
with°
El.° |
|
78:9
The children of Ephraim, bending and shooting [with] the bow, turned [back] in the day of battle. |
|
78:9
The children°
of Ephraim,°
[being] armed,°°
[and] carrying°°
bows,°
turned back°°
in the day°
of battle.° |
|
78:10
They kept not the covenant of God, and would not walk in his law. |
|
78:10
They kept°°
not°
the covenant°
of Elohim,°
and refused°°
to walk°°°
in his law;° |
|
78:11
And they forgot his benefits, and his miracles which he [had] shewed them; |
|
78:11
And forgat°°
his works,°
and his wonders°°
that°
he had shewed°°
them. |
|
78:12
the miracles which he wrought before their fathers, in the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, in the plain of Tanes. |
|
78:12
Marvellous things°
did°°
he in the sight°
of their fathers,°
in the land°
of Egypt,°
[in] the field°
of Zoan.° |
|
78:13
He clave the sea, and led them through: he made the waters to stand as [in] a bottle. |
|
78:13
He divided°°
the sea,°
and caused them to pass through;°°
and he made the waters°
to stand°°
as°
an heap.° |
|
78:14
And he guided them with a cloud by day, and all the night with a light of fire. |
|
78:14
In the daytime°
also he led°°
them with a cloud,°
and all°
the night°
with a light°
of fire.° |
|
78:15
He clave a rock in the wilderness, and made them drink as in a great deep. |
|
78:15
He clave°°
the rocks°
in the wilderness,°
and gave [them] drink°°
as [out of] the great°
depths.° |
|
78:16
And he brought water out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down as rivers. |
|
78:16
He brought°°
streams°°
also out°°
of the rock,°°
and caused waters°
to run down°°
like rivers.° |
|
78:17
And they sinned yet more against him; they provoked the Most High in the wilderness. |
|
78:17
And they sinned°°
yet°
more°°
against him by provoking°°
Elyon°
in the wilderness.° |
|
78:18
And they tempted God in their hearts, in asking meat for [the desire of] their souls. |
|
78:18
And they tempted°°
El°
in their heart°
by asking°°
meat°
for their lust.° |
|
78:19
They spoke also against God, and said, Will God be able to prepare a table in the wilderness? |
|
78:19
Yea, they spake°°
against Elohim;°
they said,°°
Can°°
El°
furnish°°
a table°
in the wilderness?° |
|
78:20
Forasmuch as he smote the rock, and the waters flowed, and the torrents ran abundantly; will he be able also to give bread, or prepare a table for his people? |
|
78:20
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?° |
|
78:21
Therefore the Lord heard, and was provoked: and fire was kindled in Jacob, and wrath went up against Israel. |
|
78:21
Therefore°
Yahweh°
heard°°
[this], and was wroth:°°
so a fire°
was kindled°°
against Jacob,°
and anger°
also°
came up°°
against Israel;° |
|
78:22
Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation. |
|
78:22
Because°
they believed°°
not°
in Elohim,°
and trusted°°
not°
in his salvation:° |
|
78:23
Yet he commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, |
|
78:23
Though he had commanded°°
the clouds°
from above,°°
and opened°°
the doors°
of heaven,° |
|
78:24
and rained upon them manna to eat, and gave them the bread of heaven. |
|
78:24
And had rained down°°
manna°
upon°
them to eat,°°
and had given°°
them of the corn°
of heaven.° |
|
78:25
Man ate angels' bread; he sent them provision to the full. |
|
78:25
Man°
did eat°°
angels'°
food:°
he sent°°
them meat°
to the full.° |
|
78:26
He removed the south wind from heaven; and by his might he brought in the south-west wind. |
|
78:26
He caused an east wind°
to blow°°
in the heaven:°
and by his power°
he brought°
in°°
the south wind.° |
|
78:27
And he rained upon them flesh like dust, and feathered birds like the sand of the seas. |
|
78:27
He rained°°
flesh°
also upon°
them as dust,°
and feathered°
fowls°
like as the sand°
of the sea:° |
|
78:28
And they fell into the midst of their camp, round about their tents. |
|
78:28
And he let [it] fall°°
in the midst°
of their camp,°
round about°
their habitations.° |
|
78:29
So they ate, and were completely filled; and he gave them their desire. |
|
78:29
So they did eat,°°
and were well°
filled:°°
for he gave°°
them their own desire;° |
|
78:30
They were not disappointed of their desire: [but] when their food was yet in their mouth, |
|
78:30
They were not°
estranged°°
from their lust.°°
But while their meat°
[was] yet°
in their mouths,° |
|
78:31
then the indignation of God rose up against them, and slew the fattest of them, and overthrew the choice men of Israel. |
|
78:31
The wrath°
of Elohim°
came°°
upon them, and slew°°
the fattest°
of them, and smote down°°
the chosen°
[men] of Israel.° |
|
78:32
In the midst of all this they sinned yet more, and believed not his miracles. |
|
78:32
For all°
this°
they sinned°°
still,°
and believed°°
not°
for his wondrous works.°° |
|
78:33
And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years with anxiety. |
|
78:33
Therefore their days°
did he consume°°
in vanity,°
and their years°
in trouble.° |
|
78:34
When he slew them, they sought him: and they returned and called betimes upon God. |
|
78:34
When°
he slew°°
them, then they sought°°
him: and they returned°°
and enquired early°°
after El.° |
|
78:35
And they remembered that God was their helper, and the most high God was their redeemer. |
|
78:35
And they remembered°°
that°
Elohim°
[was] their rock,°
and El°
Elyon°
their redeemer.°° |
|
78:36
Yet they loved him [only] with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue. |
|
78:36
Nevertheless they did flatter°°
him with their mouth,°
and they lied°°
unto him with their tongues.° |
|
78:37
For their heart [was] not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant. |
|
78:37
For their heart°
was not right°°°
with°
him, neither°
were they stedfast°°
in his covenant.° |
|
78:38
But he is compassionate, and will forgive their sins, and will not destroy [them]: yea, he will frequently turn away his wrath, and will not kindle all his anger. |
|
78:38
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.° |
|
78:39
And he remembered that they are flesh; a wind that passes away, and returns not. |
|
78:39
For he remembered°°
that°
they°
[were but] flesh;°
a wind°
that passeth away,°°
and cometh not again.°°° |
|
78:40
How often did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and] anger him in a dry land! |
|
78:40
How°
oft°
did they provoke°°
him in the wilderness,°
[and] grieve°°
him in the desert!° |
|
78:41
Yea, they turned back, and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel. |
|
78:41
Yea, they turned back°°
and tempted°°
El,°
and limited°°
the Holy One°
of Israel.° |
|
78:42
They remembered not his hand, the day in which he delivered them from the hand of the oppressor. |
|
78:42
They remembered°°
not°°
his hand,°
[nor] the day°
when°
he delivered°°
them from°
the enemy.° |
|
78:43
How he had wrought his signs in Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, and his wonders in the field of Tanes: |
|
78:43
How°
he had wrought°°
his signs°
in Egypt,°
and his wonders°
in the field°
of Zoan:° |
|
78:44
and had changed their rivers into blood; and their streams, that they should not drink. |
|
78:44
And had turned°°
their rivers°
into blood;°
and their floods,°°
that they could not°
drink.°° |
|
78:45
He sent against them the dog-fly, and it devoured them; and the frog, and it spoiled them. |
|
78:45
He sent°°
divers sorts of flies°
among them, which devoured°°
them; and frogs,°
which destroyed°°
them. |
|
78:46
And he gave their fruit to the canker worm, and their labours to the locust. |
|
78:46
He gave°°
also their increase°
unto the caterpiller,°
and their labour°
unto the locust.° |
|
78:47
He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamores with frost. |
|
78:47
He destroyed°°
their vines°
with hail,°
and their sycomore trees°
with frost.° |
|
78:48
And he gave up their cattle to hail, and their substance to the fire. |
|
78:48
He gave up°°
their cattle°
also to the hail,°
and their flocks°
to hot thunderbolts.° |
|
78:49
He sent out against them the fury of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and affliction, a message by evil angels. |
|
78:49
He cast°°
upon them the fierceness°
of his anger,°
wrath,°
and indignation,°
and trouble,°
by sending°
evil°
angels°
[among them]. |
|
78:50
He made a way for his wrath; he spared not their souls from death, but consigned their cattle to death; |
|
78:50
He made°°
a way°
to his anger;°
he spared°°
not°
their soul°
from death,°°
but gave°°
their life°
over°°
to the pestilence;° |
|
78:51
and smote every first-born in the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}; the first-fruits of their labours in the tents of Ham{gr.Cham}. |
|
78:51
And smote°°
all°
the firstborn°
in Egypt;°
the chief°
of [their] strength°
in the tabernacles°
of Ham:° |
|
78:52
And he removed his people like sheep; he led them as a flock in the wilderness. |
|
78:52
But made his own people°
to go forth°°
like sheep,°
and guided°°
them in the wilderness°
like a flock.° |
|
78:53
And he guided them with hope, and they feared not: but the sea covered their enemies. |
|
78:53
And he led°°
them on safely,°
so that they feared°°
not:°
but the sea°
overwhelmed°°
their enemies.°° |
|
78:54
And he brought them in to the mountain of his sanctuary, this mountain which his right hand had purchased. |
|
78:54
And he brought°°
them to°
the border°
of his sanctuary,°
[even to] this°
mountain,°
[which] his right hand°
had purchased.°° |
|
78:55
And he cast out the nations from before them, and made them to inherit by a line of inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. |
|
78:55
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.° |
|
78:56
Ye they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies. |
|
78:56
Yet they tempted°°
and provoked°°°
Elohim°
Elyon,°
and kept°°
not°
his testimonies:° |
|
78:57
And they turned back, and broke covenant, even as also their fathers: they became like a crooked bow. |
|
78:57
But turned back,°°
and dealt unfaithfully°°
like their fathers:°
they were turned aside°°
like a deceitful°
bow.° |
|
78:58
And they provoked him with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. |
|
78:58
For they provoked him to anger°°
with their high places,°
and moved him to jealousy°°
with their graven images.° |
|
78:59
God heard and lightly regarded [them], and greatly despised Israel. |
|
78:59
When Elohim°
heard°°
[this], he was wroth,°°
and greatly°
abhorred°°
Israel:° |
|
78:60
And he rejected the tabernacle of Shelah{gr.Selom}, his tent where he dwelt among men. |
|
78:60
So that he forsook°°
the tabernacle°
of Shiloh,°
the tent°
[which] he placed°°
among men;° |
|
78:61
And he gave their strength into captivity, and their beauty into the enemy's hand. |
|
78:61
And delivered°°
his strength°
into captivity,°
and his glory°
into the enemy's°
hand.° |
|
78:62
And he gave his people to the sword; and disdained his inheritance. |
|
78:62
He gave°°
his people°
over°°
also unto the sword;°
and was wroth°°
with his inheritance.° |
|
78:63
Fire devoured their young men; and their virgins mourned not. |
|
78:63
The fire°
consumed°°
their young men;°
and their maidens°
were not°
given to marriage.°° |
|
78:64
Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows shall not be wept for. |
|
78:64
Their priests°
fell°°
by the sword;°
and their widows°
made no°
lamentation.°° |
|
78:65
So the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] as a mighty man who has been heated with wine. |
|
78:65
Then Yahweh°
awaked°°
as one out of sleep,°
[and] like a mighty man°
that shouteth°°
by reason of wine.°° |
|
78:66
And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he brought on them a perpetual reproach. |
|
78:66
And he smote°°
his enemies°
in the hinder parts:°
he put°°
them to a perpetual°
reproach.° |
|
78:67
And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim; |
|
78:67
Moreover he refused°°
the tabernacle°
of Joseph,°
and chose°°
not°
the tribe°
of Ephraim:° |
|
78:68
but chose the tribe of Judah{gr.Juda}, the mount Zion{gr.Sion} which he loved. |
|
78:68
But chose°°°
the tribe°
of Judah,°°
the mount°
Zion°
which°
he loved.°° |
|
78:69
And he built his sanctuary as [the place] of unicorns; he founded it for ever on the earth. |
|
78:69
And he built°°
his sanctuary°
like°
high°°
[palaces], like the earth°
which he hath established°°
for ever.° |
|
78:70
He chose David also his servant, and took him up from the flocks of sheep. |
|
78:70
He chose°°
David°
also his servant,°
and took°°
him from the sheepfolds:°°° |
|
78:71
He took him from following the ewes great with young, to be the shepherd of Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance. |
|
78:71
From following°°
the ewes great with young°°
he brought°°
him to feed°°
Jacob°
his people,°
and Israel°
his inheritance.° |
|
78:72
So he tended them in the innocency of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. |
|
78:72
So he fed°°
them according to the integrity°
of his heart;°
and guided°°
them by the skilfulness°
of his hands.° |
