Psalms 78:9-16

9The soldiers of Ephraim had bows and arrows, but they ran away when the battle started!

10They did not obey the covenant that God had made with them. They refused to obey his laws.

11They forgot about what he had done for them. They forgot the miracles that he had shown them.

12He did miracles for their ancestors to see, in the region of Egypt that is called Zoan.

13He cut the sea into two separate parts, and he led them through it. He made a path between two walls of water.

14He showed them the way with a cloud in the day and with light from a fire all night.

15He broke rocks into pieces in the wilderness so that his people had plenty of water. Springs of water came from deep in the earth.

16He caused streams to pour from the rocks so that the waters ran like rivers.
