Psalms - Chapter 78

Psalms 78:1

Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

Psalms 78:2

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

Psalms 78:3

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

Psalms 78:4

We will not hide [them] from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

Psalms 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:

Psalms 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:

Psalms 78:7

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

Psalms 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 God.

Psalms 78:9

The children of Ephraim, [being] armed, [and] carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

Psalms 78:10

They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

Psalms 78:11

And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had showed them.

Psalms 78:12

Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.

Psalms 78:13

He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

Psalms 78:14

In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

Psalms 78:15

He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink as [out of] the great depths.

Psalms 78:16

He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

Psalms 78:17

And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

Psalms 78:18

And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

Psalms 78:19

Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

Psalms 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?

Psalms 78:21

Therefore the LORD heard [this], and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

Psalms 78:22

Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

Psalms 78:23

Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

Psalms 78:24

And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

Psalms 78:25

Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

Psalms 78:26

He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

Psalms 78:27

He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

Psalms 78:28

And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

Psalms 78:29

So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

Psalms 78:30

They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat [was] yet in their mouths,

Psalms 78:31

The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen [men] of Israel.

Psalms 78:32

For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

Psalms 78:33

Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

Psalms 78:34

When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.

Psalms 78:35

And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

Psalms 78:36

Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

Psalms 78:37

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

Psalms 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.

Psalms 78:39

For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

Psalms 78:40

How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and] grieve him in the desert!

Psalms 78:41

Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

Psalms 78:42

They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

Psalms 78:43

How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:

Psalms 78:44

And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

Psalms 78:45

He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

Psalms 78:46

He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust.

Psalms 78:47

He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost.

Psalms 78:48

He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

Psalms 78:49

He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among them].

Psalms 78:50

He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

Psalms 78:51

And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of [their] strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

Psalms 78:52

But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

Psalms 78:53

And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

Psalms 78:54

And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, [even to] this mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased.

Psalms 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.

Psalms 78:56

Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

Psalms 78:57

But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

Psalms 78:58

For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

Psalms 78:59

When God heard [this], he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

Psalms 78:60

So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent [which] he placed among men;

Psalms 78:61

And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.

Psalms 78:62

He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.

Psalms 78:63

The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.

Psalms 78:64

Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

Psalms 78:65

Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

Psalms 78:66

And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.

Psalms 78:67

Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

Psalms 78:68

But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

Psalms 78:69

And he built his sanctuary like high [palaces], like the earth which he hath established for ever.

Psalms 78:70

He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

Psalms 78:71

From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

Psalms 78:72

So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

Psalms 79:2

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be] meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

Psalms 79:3

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and [there was] none to bury [them].

Psalms 79:4

We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

Psalms 79:5

How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

Psalms 79:6

Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

Psalms 79:7

For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.

Psalms 79:8

O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

Psalms 79:9

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

Psalms 79:10

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] the revenging of the blood of thy servants [which is] shed.

Psalms 79:11

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

Psalms 79:12

And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

Psalms 79:13

So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all generations.

The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof [were like] the goodly cedars.

Psalms 80:11

She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

Psalms 80:12

Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

Psalms 80:13

The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

Psalms 80:15

Psalms 106:6

We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked [him] at the sea, [even] at the Red sea.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them].

Psalms 106:25

But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

Psalms 106:36

And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

Psalms 106:37

Psalms 106:38

And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

Psalms 106:39

Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

Psalms 106:40

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Psalms 106:43

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked [him] with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

Psalms 106:44

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

Psalms 106:45

And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

Psalms 106:46
