Give ear,
238
z8685
O my people,
5971
[to] my law:

incline
5186
z8685
your ears

78:2
I will open
6605
z8799
my mouth
6310
in a parable:
4912
I will utter
5042
z8686
dark sayings
2420
of
x4480
old:
6924
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:3 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:3
Which
x834
we have heard
8085
z8804
and known,
3045
z8799
and our fathers
1
have told
5608
z8765
us.
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:4 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:4
We will not
x3808
hide
3582
z8762
[them] from their children,
1121
x4480
shewing
5608
z8764
to the generation
1755
to come
314
the praises
8416
of Yahweh,
3068
and his strength,

he hath done.
6213
z8804
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:5 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:5
For he established
6965
z8686
a testimony
5715
in Jacob,
3290
and appointed
7760
z8804
a law
8451
in Israel,
3478
which
x834
he commanded
6680
z8765
x853
our fathers,
1
that they should make them known

z8687
to their children:
1121
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:6 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:6
That
x4616
the generation
1755
to come
314
might know
3045
z8799
[them, even] the children
1121
[which] should be born;
3205
z8735
[who] should arise
6965
z8799
and declare
5608
z8762
[them] to their children:
1121
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:7 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:7
That they might set
7760
z8799
their hope
3689
in Elohim,
430
and not
x3808
forget
7911
z8799
the works
4611
of El,
410
but keep

z8799
his commandments:

![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:8 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:8
And might not

be

as their fathers,

and rebellious

1755
a generation

[that] set
y3559
z0
not their heart
y3820
aright,
3559
z8689
x3808
x3820

with

El.

of Elohim,
430
and refused

of Zoan.

78:13
He divided
1234
z8804
the sea,
3220
and caused them to pass through;
5674
z8686
and he made the waters
4325
to stand

z8686
as

them with a cloud,

with a light

of fire.
784

He clave

z8686
streams
y5140
z8802
also out
x3318
x5140

x5750
more
3254
z8686
against him by provoking

in the wilderness.
6723
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:18 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)

in their heart
3824
by asking

meat

against Elohim;

z8804
Can

4057

78:20
Behold,
x2005
he smote
5221
z8689
the rock,
6697
that the waters
4325
gushed out,
2100
z8799
and the streams

overflowed;

Therefore

Yahweh
3068
heard
8085
z8804
[this], and was wroth:
5674
z8691
so a fire

was kindled

z8738
against Jacob,
3290
and anger
639
also
x1571
came up

z8804
against Israel;
3478
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:22 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:22
Because
x3588
they believed
539
z8689
not
x3808
in Elohim,
430
and trusted
982
z8804
not
x3808
in his salvation:
3444
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:23 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:23
Though he had commanded
6680
z8762
the clouds
7834
from above,
4605
x4480
and opened
6605
z8804
the doors
1817
of heaven,
8064
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:24 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:24
And had rained down
4305
z8686
manna
4478
upon
x5921
them to eat,
398
z8800
and had given
5414
z8804
them of the corn
1715
of heaven.
8064
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:25 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)

food:

z8804
them meat
6720
to the full.

He caused an east wind
6921
to blow
5265
z8686
in the heaven:
8064
and by his power
5797
he brought
x5090
in

z8762
the south wind.
8486
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:27 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:27
He rained
4305
z8686
flesh
7607
also upon
x5921
them as dust,
6083
and feathered
3671
fowls
5775
like as the sand
2344
of the sea:
3220
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:28 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:28
And he let [it] fall
5307
z8686
in the midst
7130
of their camp,
4264
round about
5439
their habitations.
4908
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:29 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:29
So they did eat,
398
z8799
and were well
3966
filled:
7646
z8799
for he gave
935
z8686
them their own desire;
8378
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:30 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:30
They were not
x3808
estranged
2114
z8804
from their lust.
8378
x4480
But while their meat
400
[was] yet
x5750
in their mouths,
6310
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:31 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:31
The wrath
639
of Elohim
430
came
5927
z8804
upon them, and slew
2026
z8799
the fattest
4924
of them, and smote down
3766
z8689
the chosen
970
[men] of Israel.
3478
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:32 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:32
For all
x3605
this
x2063
they sinned
2398
z8804
still,
x5750
and believed
539
z8689
not
x3808
for his wondrous works.
6381
z8737
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:33 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:33
Therefore their days
3117
did he consume
3615
z8762
in vanity,
1892
and their years
8141
in trouble.
928
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:34 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:34
When
x518
he slew
2026
z8804
them, then they sought
1875
z8804
him: and they returned
7725
z8804
and enquired early
7836
z8765
after El.
410
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:35 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:35
And they remembered
2142
z8799
that
x3588
Elohim
430
[was] their rock,
6697
and El
410
Elyon
5945
their redeemer.
1350
z8802
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:36 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:36
Nevertheless they did flatter
6601
z8762
him with their mouth,
6310
and they lied
3576
z8762
unto him with their tongues.
3956
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:37 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:37
For their heart
3820
was not right
3559
z8737
x3808
with
x5973
him, neither
x3808
were they stedfast
539
z8738
in his covenant.
1285
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:38 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:38
But he,
x1931
[being] full of compassion,
7349
forgave
3722
z8762
[their] iniquity,
5771
and destroyed
7843
z8686
[them] not:
x3808
yea, many
x7235
a time
y7235
z8689
turned
y7725
z0
he his anger
y639
away,

z8687
x639
and did not

stir up

z8686
all
x3605
his wrath.
2534
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:39 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:39
For he remembered
2142
z8799
that
x3588
they
x1992
[were but] flesh;
1320
a wind
7307
that passeth away,

z8802
and cometh not again.

How

did they provoke

z8686
him in the wilderness,
4057
[and] grieve
6087
z8686
him in the desert!
3452
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:41 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:41
Yea, they turned back
7725
z8799
and tempted
5254
z8762
El,
410
and limited
8428
z8689
the Holy One
6918
of Israel.
3478
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:42 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:42
They remembered
2142
z8804
not
x3808
x853
his hand,
3027
[nor] the day
3117
when
x834
he delivered

z8804
them from
x4480
the enemy.
6862
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:43 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:43
How
x834
he had wrought
7760
z8804
his signs
226
in Egypt,
4714
and his wonders
4159
in the field
7704
of Zoan:
6814
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:44 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:44
And had turned
2015
z8799
their rivers
2975
into blood;
1818
and their floods,
5140
z8802
that they could not

drink.
8354
z8799
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:45 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:45
He sent
7971
z8762
divers sorts of flies
6157
among them, which devoured
398
z8799
them; and frogs,
6854
which destroyed
7843
z8686
them.
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:46 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:46
He gave
5414
z8799
also their increase
2981
unto the caterpiller,
2625
and their labour
3018
unto the locust.
697
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:47 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:47
He destroyed

z8799
their vines
1612
with hail,
1259
and their sycomore trees
8256
with frost.
2602
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:48 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:48
He gave up

also to the hail,

and their flocks
4735
to hot thunderbolts.
7565
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:49 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:49
He cast
7971
z8762
upon them the fierceness
2740
of his anger,
639
wrath,
5678
and indignation,
2195
and trouble,
6869
by sending
4917
evil
7451
angels
4397
[among them].
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:50 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:50
He made
6424
z8762
a way
5410
to his anger;
639
he spared
2820
z8804
not
x3808
their soul
5315
from death,
4194
x4480
but gave
5462
z0
their life
2416
over
y5462
z8689
to the pestilence;
1698
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:51 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:51
And smote
5221
z8686
all
x3605
the firstborn
1060
in Egypt;
4714
the chief
7225
of [their] strength
202
in the tabernacles
168
of Ham:
2526
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:52 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)
78:52
But made his own people
5971
to go forth
5265
z8686
like sheep,
6629
and guided
5090
z8762
them in the wilderness
4057
like a flock.
5739
![Strong's Concordance Psalms 78:53 Cross References Numbers Hebrew Lexicon](http://chatbible.com/_/r1.gif)

And he led

z8686
them on safely,
983
so that they feared

z8804
not:
x3808
but the sea

overwhelmed

them to

[even to] this

mountain,
