Psalms 78:9-41

9The children of EphraimH669, being armed and carrying bowsH7198,TurnedH2015 backH2015 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128.10They keptH8104 not the covenantH1285 of GodH430,And refusedH3985 to walk in his lawH8451;11And they forgat his doings,And his wondrous works that he had showedH7200 them.12Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathersH1,In the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814.13He clave the seaH3220, and caused them to passH5674 through;And he made the watersH4325 to standH5324 as a heap.14In the day-time also he ledH5148 them with a cloudH6051,And all the nightH3915 with a lightH216 of fireH784.15He clave rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057,And gaveH8248 them drinkH8248 abundantly as out of the depthsH8415.16He broughtH3318 streams also out of the rockH5553,And caused watersH4325 to run down like riversH5104.17YetH5750 went they on stillH5750 to sinH2398 against him,To rebelH4784 against the Most High in the desert.18And they tempted GodH410 in their heartH3824 By askingH7592 foodH400 according to their desireH5315.19Yea, they spake against GodH430;They saidH559, Can GodH430 prepareH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057?20Behold, he smote the rockH6697, so that watersH4325 gushed out,And streams overflowed;Can he giveH5414 breadH3899 alsoH1571?Will he provide fleshH7607 for his peopleH5971?21ThereforeH3651 Jehovah heardH8085, and was wroth;And a fireH784 was kindled against JacobH3290,And angerH639 alsoH1571 wentH5927 up against IsraelH3478;22Because they believedH539 not in GodH430,And trustedH982 not in his salvationH3444.23Yet he commandedH6680 the skies above,And openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064;24And he rainedH4305 downH4305 mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398,And gaveH5414 them food from heavenH8064.25ManH376 did eatH398 the breadH3899 of the mightyH47:He sentH7971 them foodH3899 to the full.26He caused the eastH6921 windH6921 to blow in the heavensH8064;And by his power he guided the southH8486 windH6921.27He rainedH4305 fleshH7607 also upon them as the dustH6083,And wingedH3671 birdsH5775 as the sandH2344 of the seasH3220:28And he let it fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264,RoundH5439 about their habitations.29So they did eatH398, and were well filled;And he gave them their own desireH8378.30They were not estranged from that which they desiredH8378,Their foodH400 was yetH5750 in their mouthsH6310,31When the angerH639 of GodH430 wentH5927 up against them,And slewH2026 of the fattest of them,And smote down the youngH970 menH970 of IsraelH3478.32For all this they sinnedH2398 stillH5750,And believedH539 not in his wondrous works.33Therefore their daysH3117 did he consume in vanityH1892,And their yearsH8141 in terrorH928.34When he slewH2026 them, then they inquired after him;And they returnedH7725 and soughtH1875 GodH410 earnestlyH7836.35And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697,And the Most High GodH430 their redeemerH1350.36But they flattered him with their mouthH6310,And liedH3576 unto him with their tongueH3956.37For their heartH3820 was not right with him,Neither were they faithfulH539 in his covenantH1285.38But he, being merciful, forgave theiriniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843themnot:Yea, manyH7235 a time turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725,And did not stirH5782 up all his wrathH2534.39And he rememberedH2142 that they were but fleshH1320,A windH7307 that passeth awayH7725, and cometh not again.40HowH4100 oft did they rebelH4784 against him in the wildernessH4057,And grieve him in the desert!41And they turnedH7725 again and tempted GodH410,And provoked the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
