Psalms 78:9-41

9The sonsH1121 of EphraimH669 1were 2archersH7411 equippedH5401 with bowsH7198, Yet 3they turnedH2015 backH2015 on the dayH3117 of battleH7128.10They 4did not keepH8104 the covenantH1285 of GodH430 And refusedH3985 to 5walkH1980 in His LawH8451;11They 6forgotH7911 His deedsH5949 And His 7miraclesH6381 that He had shownH7200 them.128He performedH6213 wondersH6382 beforeH5048 their fathersH1 In the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the 9fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814.13He 10dividedH1234 the seaH3220 and caused them to passH5674 throughH5674, And He made the watersH4325 standH5324 11upH5324 likeH3644 a heapH5067.14Then He ledH5148 them with the cloudH6051 by 12dayH3119 And allH3605 the nightH3915 with a 13lightH216 of fireH784.15He 14splitH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057 And gaveH8248 them plentyH7227 toH8248 drinkH8248 like the oceanH8415 depthsH8415.16He 15broughtH3318 forthH3318 streamsH5140 from the rockH5553 And made watersH4325 runH3381 downH3381 like riversH5104.

17Yet they stillH5750 continuedH3254 to sinH2398 against Him, To 16rebelH4784 against the MostH5945 HighH5945 in the desertH6723.18And in their heartH3824 they 17putH5254 GodH410 toH5254 theH5254 testH5254 By askingH7592 for 18foodH3978 19that suited their tasteH5315.19Then they spokeH1696 against GodH430; They saidH559, “20CanH3201 GodH410 prepareH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057?20BeholdH2005, He 21struckH5221 the rockH6697 so that watersH4325 gushedH2100 outH2100, And streamsH5158 were overflowingH7857; CanH3201 He alsoH1571 provideH5414 breadH3899? Will He prepareH3559 22meatH7607 for His peopleH5971?”

21ThereforeH3651 the LordH3068 heardH8085 and 23wasH5674 24fullH5674 ofH5674 wrathH5674; And a fireH784 was kindledH5400 against JacobH3290, And angerH639 alsoH1571 mountedH5927 against IsraelH3478,22BecauseH3588 they 25did not believeH539 in GodH430 And did not trustH982 in His salvationH3444.23Yet He commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 aboveH4480H4605 And 26openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064;24He 27rainedH4305 downH4305 mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398, And gaveH5414 them 2829foodH1715 from heavenH8064.25ManH376 ateH398 the breadH3899 of 30angelsH47; He sentH7971 them 31foodH6720 3233in abundanceH7648.26He 34made the eastH6921 windH6921 blowH5265 in the skyH8064 And by His 35powerH5797 He directedH5090 the southH8486 windH8486.27When He rainedH4305 meatH7607 upon them like the dustH6083, Even 36wingedH3671 fowlH5775 like the sandH2344 of the seasH3220,28He let them fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of 37their campH4264, AllH5439 aroundH5439 their dwellingsH4908.29So they 38ateH398 and were wellH3966 filledH7646, And He 39satisfiedH935 their longingH8378.3040Yet before they had abandonedH2114 their longingH8378, 41WhileH5750 their foodH400 was in their mouthsH6310,31The 42angerH639 of GodH430 roseH5927 against them And killedH2026 43some of their 44strongestH4924 ones, And 45subduedH3766 the choiceH970 menH977 of IsraelH3478.32In spite of allH3605 thisH2088 they 46stillH5750 sinnedH2398 And 47did not believeH539 in His wonderfulH6381 worksH6381.33So He broughtH3615 48their daysH3117 toH3615 anH3615 endH3615 in futilityH1892, And their yearsH8141 to an end in suddenH928 terrorH928.

34WhenH518 He killedH2026 them, then they 49soughtH1875 Him, And they returnedH7725 and searchedH7836 50diligentlyH7836 for GodH410;35And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their 51rockH6697, And the MostH5945 HighH5945 GodH410 their 52RedeemerH1350.36But they 53flatteredH6601 Him with their mouthH6310 And 54liedH3576 to Him with their tongueH3956.37For their heartH3820 was not 55steadfastH3559 towardH5973 Him, NorH3808 were they faithfulH539 with His covenantH1285.38But He, being 56compassionateH7349, 5758forgaveH3722 their wrongdoingH5771 and did not destroyH7843 them; And oftenH7235 He 5960restrainedH7725 His angerH639 And did not stirH5782 upH5782 allH3605 His wrathH2534.39So 61He rememberedH2142 that they were only 62fleshH1320, A 6364windH7307 that passesH1980 and does not returnH7725.

40HowH4100 oftenH4100 they 65rebelledH4784 against Him in the wildernessH4057 And 66grievedH6087 Him in the 67desertH3452!41AgainH7725 and again they 6869temptedH5254 GodH410, And painedH8428 the 70HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
