Psalm 78

1Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old,

3things that we have heard and known, that our ancestors have told us.

4We will not hide them from their children; we will tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.

5He established a decree in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach to their children;

6that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and rise up and tell them to their children,

7so that they should set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments;

8and that they should not be like their ancestors, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9The Ephraimites, armed with the bow, turned back on the day of battle.

10They did not keep God’s covenant, but refused to walk according to his law.

11They forgot what he had done, and the miracles that he had shown them.

12In the sight of their ancestors he worked marvels in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.

13He divided the sea and let them pass through it, and made the waters stand like a heap.

14In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all night long with a fiery light.

15He split rocks open in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.

16He made streams come out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

17Yet they sinned still more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

18They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved.

19They spoke against God, saying, “Can God spread a table in the wilderness?

20Even though he struck the rock so that water gushed out and torrents overflowed, can he also give bread, or provide meat for his people?”

21Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of rage; a fire was kindled against Jacob, his anger mounted against Israel,

22because they had no faith in God, and did not trust his saving power.

23Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven;

24he rained down on them manna to eat, and gave them the grain of heaven.

25Mortals ate of the bread of angels; he sent them food in abundance.

26He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens, and by his power he led out the south wind;

27he rained flesh upon them like dust, winged birds like the sand of the seas;

28he let them fall within their camp, all around their dwellings.

29And they ate and were well filled, for he gave them what they craved.

30But before they had satisfied their craving, while the food was still in their mouths,

31the anger of God rose against them and he killed the strongest of them, and laid low the flower of Israel.

32In spite of all this they still sinned; they did not believe in his wonders.

33So he made their days vanish like a breath, and their years in terror.

34When he killed them, they sought for him; they repented and sought God earnestly.

35They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God their redeemer.

36But they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues.

37Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not true to his covenant.

38Yet he, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them; often he restrained his anger, and did not stir up all his wrath.

39He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and does not come again.
