Thatº
the generationº

might knowºº
[them, even] the childrenº

 78:11
And forgatºº
his works,º
and his wondersºº
thatº

 78:12
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. |
 78:12
Marvellous thingsº
didºº
he in the sightº
of their fathers,º

 78:13
He dividedºº
the sea,º
and caused them to pass through;ºº

 78:16
He broughtºº
streamsºº
also outºº

 78:17
And they sinnedºº
yetº
moreºº
against him by provokingºº
the most Highº
in the wilderness.º |
 78:18
And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire. |
 78:18
And they temptedºº
Godº
in their heartº
by askingºº
meatº
for their lust.º |
 78:19
Yea, they spake against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? |
 78:19
Yea, they spakeºº
against God;º
they said,ºº
Canºº
Godº
furnishºº
a tableº
in the wilderness?º |
 78:20
Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people? |

canºº
he provideºº
fleshº
for his people?º |
 78:21
Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel; |
 78:21
Thereforeº
the LORDº
heardºº
[this], and was wroth:ºº
so a fireº
was kindledºº
against Jacob,º
and angerº
alsoº
came upºº
against Israel;º |
 78:22
Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation. |
 78:22
Becauseº
they believedºº
notº
in God,º
and trustedºº
notº
in his salvation:º |
 78:23
Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven; |
 78:23
Though he had commandedºº
the cloudsº
from above,ºº
and openedºº
the doorsº
of heaven,º |
 78:24
And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven. |
 78:24
And had rained downºº
mannaº
uponº
them to eat,ºº
and had givenºº
them of the cornº
of heaven.º |
 78:25
Man did eat the bread of the mighty: He sent them food to the full. |
 78:25
Manº
did eatºº
angels'º
food:º
he sentºº
them meatº
to the full.º |
 78:26
He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by his power he guided the south wind. |
 78:26
He caused an east windº
to blowºº
in the heaven:º
and by his powerº
he broughtº
inºº
the south wind.º |
 78:27
He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged birds as the sand of the seas: |
 78:27
He rainedºº
fleshº
also uponº
them as dust,º
and featheredº
fowlsº
like as the sandº
of the sea:º |
 78:28
And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations. |
 78:28
And he let [it] fallºº
in the midstº
of their camp,º
round aboutº
their habitations.º |
 78:29
So they did eat, and were well filled; And he gave them their own desire. |
 78:29
So they did eat,ºº
and were wellº
filled:ºº
for he gaveºº
them their own desire;º |
 78:30
They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths, |
 78:30
They were notº
estrangedºº
from their lust.ºº
But while their meatº
[was] yetº
in their mouths,º |
 78:31
When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel. |
 78:31
The wrathº
of Godº
cameºº
upon them, and slewºº
the fattestº
of them, and smote downºº
the chosenº
[men] of Israel.º |
 78:32
For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works. |
 78:32
For allº
thisº
they sinnedºº
still,º
and believedºº
notº
for his wondrous works.ºº |
 78:33
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in terror. |
 78:33
Therefore their daysº
did he consumeºº
in vanity,º
and their yearsº
in trouble.º |
 78:34
When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly. |
 78:34
Whenº
he slewºº
them, then they soughtºº
him: and they returnedºº
and enquired earlyºº
after God.º |
 78:35
And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer. |
 78:35
And they rememberedºº
thatº
Godº
[was] their rock,º
and the highº
Godº
their redeemer.ºº |
 78:36
But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue. |
 78:36
Nevertheless they did flatterºº
him with their mouth,º
and they liedºº
unto him with their tongues.º |
 78:37
For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant. |
 78:37
For their heartº
was not rightººº
withº
him, neitherº
were they stedfastºº
in his covenant.º |
 78:38
But he, being merciful, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: Yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath. |
 78:38
But he,º
[being] full of compassion,º
forgaveºº
[their] iniquity,º
and destroyedºº
[them] not:º
yea, manyº
a timeºº
turnedºº
he his angerº
away,ººº
and did notº
stir upºº
allº
his wrath.º |
 78:39
And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. |
 78:39
For he rememberedºº
thatº
theyº
[were but] flesh;º
a windº
that passeth away,ºº
and cometh not again.ººº |
 78:40
How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert! |
 78:40
Howº
oftº
did they provokeºº
him in the wilderness,º
[and] grieveºº
him in the desert!º |
 78:41
And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel. |
 78:41
Yea, they turned backºº
and temptedºº
God,º
and limitedºº
the Holy Oneº
of Israel.º |
 78:42
They remember not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary; |
 78:42
They rememberedºº
notºº
his hand,º
[nor] the dayº
whenº
he deliveredºº
them fromº
the enemy.º |
 78:43
How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan, |
 78:43
Howº
he had wroughtºº
his signsº
in Egypt,º
and his wondersº
in the fieldº
of Zoan:º |

And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink. |
 78:44
And had turnedºº
their riversº
into blood;º
and their floods,ºº
that they could notº

 78:45
He sentºº
divers sorts of fliesº
among them, which devouredºº
them; and frogs,º
which destroyedºº

He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust. |
 78:46
He gaveºº
also their increaseº
unto the caterpiller,º
and their labourº
unto the locust.º |
 78:47
He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost. |
 78:47
He destroyedºº
their vinesº
with hail,º
and their sycomore treesº
with frost.º |
 78:48

 78:48
He gave upºº
their cattleº
also to the hail,º

 78:49
He castºº
upon them the fiercenessº
of his anger,º
wrath,º
and indignation,º
and trouble,º

angelsº
[among them]. |
 78:50
He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence, |
 78:50
He madeºº
a wayº
to his anger;º
he sparedºº
notº
their soulº
from death,ºº
but gaveºº
their lifeº
overºº
to the pestilence;º |
 78:51
And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham. |
 78:51
And smoteºº
allº
the firstbornº
in Egypt;º
the chiefº
of [their] strengthº
in the tabernaclesº
of Ham:º |
 78:52
But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock. |
 78:52
But made his own peopleº
to go forthºº
like sheep,º
and guidedºº
them in the wildernessº
like a flock.º |
 78:53
And he led them safely, so that they feared not; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies. |
 78:53
And he ledºº
them on safely,º
so that they fearedºº
not:º
but the seaº
overwhelmedºº
their enemies.ºº |
 78:54
And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten. |
 78:54
And he broughtºº
them toº
the borderº
of his sanctuary,º
[even to] thisº
mountain,º
[which] his right handº
had purchased.ºº |
 78:55
He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. |
 78:55
He cast outºº
the heathenº
also beforeºº
them, and dividedºº
them an inheritanceº
by line,º

 78:56
Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies; |
 78:56
Yet they temptedºº
and provokedººº
the most highº
God,º
and keptºº
notº
his testimonies:º |
 78:57
But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow. |
 78:57
But turned back,ºº
and dealt unfaithfullyºº
like their fathers:º
they were turned asideºº
like a deceitfulº

 78:59
When Godº
heardºº
[this], he was wroth,ºº
and greatlyº
abhorredºº
Israel:º |
