Psalms 78:9-41

9The archersH5401 H7411 H7198 of EphraimH1121 H669 turned backH2015 on the dayH3117 of battleH7128.10They failedH3808 to keepH8104 God’sH430 covenantH1285 and refusedH3985 to liveH1980 by His lawH8451.11They forgotH7911 what He had doneH5949, the wondersH6381 He had shown themH7200.12He workedH6213 wondersH6382 beforeH5048 their fathersH1 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the regionH7704 of ZoanH6814.13He splitH1234 the seaH3220 and brought them throughH5674; He setH5324 the waters uprightH4325 likeH3644 a wallH5067.14He led themH5148 with a cloudH6051 by dayH3119 and with a lightH216 of fireH784 allH3605 nightH3915.15He splitH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057 and gave them drinkH8248 as abundantH7227 as the seasH8415.16He broughtH3318 streamsH5140 from the stoneH5553 and made waterH4325 flow downH3381 like riversH5104.

17But they continuedH3254 H5750 to sinH2398 against Him,rebellingH4784 in the desertH6723 against the Most HighH5945.18They willfullyH3824 testedH5254 GodH410by demandingH7592 the foodH400 they cravedH5315.19They spokeH1696 against GodH430, sayingH559,“CanH3201 GodH410 really prepareH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057?20WhenH2005 He struckH5221 the rockH6697, waterH4325 gushed outH2100and torrentsH5158 ragedH7857.But canH3201 He alsoH1571 giveH5414 breadH3899orH518 supplyH3559 His peopleH5971 with meatH7607?”

21ThereforeH3651 the LORDH3068 heardH8085and was filled with wrathH5674;so a fireH784 was kindledH5400 against JacobH3290,andH1571 His angerH639 flaredH5927 against IsraelH3478,22becauseH3588 they did notH3808 believeH539 GodH430 H3808or relyH982 on His salvationH3444.

23Yet He commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 aboveH4605and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the heavensH8064.24He rained downH4305 mannaH4478 for themH5921 to eatH398;He gaveH5414 them grainH1715 from heavenH8064.125ManH376 ateH398 the breadH3899 of angelsH47;He sentH7971 them foodH6720 in abundanceH7648.26He stirredH5265 the east windH6921 from the heavensH8064and droveH5090 the south windH8486 by His mightH5797.27He rainedH4305 meatH7607 on themH5921 like dustH6083,and wingedH3671 birdsH5775 like the sandH2344 of the seaH3220.28He felled themH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264,all aroundH5439 their dwellingsH4908.29So they ateH398 and were wellH3966 filledH7646,for He gaveH935 them what they cravedH8378.

30YetH3808 before they had filledH2114 their desireH8378,with the foodH400 stillH5750 in their mouthsH6310,31God’sH430 angerH639 flaredH5927 against them,and He put to deathH2026 their strongestH4924and subduedH3766 the young menH970 of IsraelH3478.

32In spite of allH3605 thisH2063, they kept on sinningH2398;despiteH5750 His wonderful worksH6381, they did notH3808 believeH539.33So He endedH3615 their daysH3117 in futilityH1892,2and their yearsH8141 in sudden terrorH928.34WhenH518 He slew themH2026, they would seek HimH1875;they repentedH7725 and searched forH7836 GodH410.35And they rememberedH2142 thatH3588 GodH430 was their RockH6697,that GodH410 Most HighH5945 3 was their RedeemerH1350.

36But they deceived HimH6601 with their mouthsH6310,and liedH3576 to Him with their tonguesH3956.37Their heartsH3820 were disloyalH3808 H3559 to HimH5973,and they were unfaithfulH3808 H539 to His covenantH1285.

38And yet HeH1931 was compassionateH7349;He forgaveH3722 their iniquityH5771 and did notH3808 destroy themH7843.He oftenH7235 restrained His angerH639 H7725and did notH3808 unleashH5782 His full wrathH3605 H2534.39He rememberedH2142 thatH3588 theyH1992 were but fleshH1320,a passingH1980 breezeH7307 that does notH3808 returnH7725.

40How oftenH4100 they disobeyed HimH4784 in the wildernessH4057and grieved HimH6087 in the desertH3452!41Again and againH7725 they testedH5254 GodH410and provokedH8428 the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
