Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 78:1 ¶ [[[A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph.]] Give heed, O my people, to my law: incline your ear to the words of my mouth.

 78:1 ¶ [[Maschilºº of Asaph.]]º Give ear,ºº O my people,º [to] my law:º inclineºº your earsº to the wordsº of my mouth.º

 78:2 I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter dark sayings [which have been] from the beginning.

 78:2 I will openºº my mouthº in a parable:º I will utterºº dark sayingsº ofº old:º

 78:3 All which we have heard and known, and our fathers have declared to us.

 78:3 Whichº we have heardºº and known,ºº and our fathersº have toldºº us.

 78:4 They were not hid from their children to a second generations; [the fathers] declaring the praises of the Lord, and his mighty acts, and his wonders which he wrought.

 78:4 We will notº hideºº [them] from their children,ºº shewingºº to the generationº to comeº the praisesº of Yahweh,º and his strength,º and his wonderful worksºº thatº he hath done.ºº

 78:5 And he raised up a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, to make it known to their children:

 78:5 For he establishedºº a testimonyº in Jacob,º and appointedºº a lawº in Israel,º whichº he commandedººº our fathers,º that they should make them knownºº to their children:º

 78:6 that another generation might know, even the sons which should be born; and they should arise and declare them to their children.

 78:6 Thatº the generationº to comeº might knowºº [them, even] the childrenº [which] should be born;ºº [who] should ariseºº and declareºº [them] to their children:º

 78:7 That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the works of God, but diligently seek his commandments.

 78:7 That they might setºº their hopeº in Elohim,º and notº forgetºº the worksº of El,º but keepºº his commandments:º

 78:8 That they should not be as their fathers, a perverse and provoking generation; a generation which set not its heart aright, and its spirit was not steadfast with God.

 78:8 And might notº beº as their fathers,º a stubbornºº and rebelliousºº generation;º a generationº [that] setºº not their heartº aright,ºººº and whose spiritº was notº stedfastºº withº El.º

 78:9 The children of Ephraim, bending and shooting [with] the bow, turned [back] in the day of battle.

 78:9 The childrenº of Ephraim,º [being] armed,ºº [and] carryingºº bows,º turned backºº in the dayº of battle.º

 78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and would not walk in his law.

 78:10 They keptºº notº the covenantº of Elohim,º and refusedºº to walkººº in his law;º

 78:11 And they forgot his benefits, and his miracles which he [had] shewed them;

 78:11 And forgatºº his works,º and his wondersºº thatº he had shewedºº them.

 78:12 the miracles which he wrought before their fathers, in the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, in the plain of Tanes.

 78:12 Marvellous thingsº didºº he in the sightº of their fathers,º in the landº of Egypt,º [in] the fieldº of Zoan.º

 78:13 He clave the sea, and led them through: he made the waters to stand as [in] a bottle.

 78:13 He dividedºº the sea,º and caused them to pass through;ºº and he made the watersº to standºº asº an heap.º

 78:14 And he guided them with a cloud by day, and all the night with a light of fire.

 78:14 In the daytimeº also he ledºº them with a cloud,º and allº the nightº with a lightº of fire.º

 78:15 He clave a rock in the wilderness, and made them drink as in a great deep.

 78:15 He claveºº the rocksº in the wilderness,º and gave [them] drinkºº as [out of] the greatº depths.º

 78:16 And he brought water out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down as rivers.

 78:16 He broughtºº streamsºº also outºº of the rock,ºº and caused watersº to run downºº like rivers.º

 78:17 And they sinned yet more against him; they provoked the Most High in the wilderness.

 78:17 And they sinnedºº yetº moreºº against him by provokingºº Elyonº in the wilderness.º

 78:18 And they tempted God in their hearts, in asking meat for [the desire of] their souls.

 78:18 And they temptedºº Elº in their heartº by askingºº meatº for their lust.º

 78:19 They spoke also against God, and said, Will God be able to prepare a table in the wilderness?

 78:19 Yea, they spakeºº against Elohim;º they said,ºº Canºº Elº furnishºº a tableº in the wilderness?º

 78:20 Forasmuch as he smote the rock, and the waters flowed, and the torrents ran abundantly; will he be able also to give bread, or prepare a table for his people?

 78:20 Behold,º he smoteºº the rock,º that the watersº gushed out,ºº and the streamsº overflowed;ºº canºº he giveºº breadº also?º canºº he provideºº fleshº for his people?º

 78:21 Therefore the Lord heard, and was provoked: and fire was kindled in Jacob, and wrath went up against Israel.

 78:21 Thereforeº Yahwehº 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 Elohim,º and trustedºº notº in his salvation:º

 78:23 Yet he commanded the clouds from 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 rained upon them manna to eat, and gave them the bread of 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 ate angels' bread; he sent them provision to the full.

 78:25 Manº did eatºº angels'º food:º he sentºº them meatº to the full.º

 78:26 He removed the south wind from heaven; and by his might he brought in the south-west 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 And he rained upon them flesh like dust, and feathered birds like 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 they fell into the midst of their camp, round about their tents.

 78:28 And he let [it] fallºº in the midstº of their camp,º round aboutº their habitations.º

 78:29 So they ate, and were completely filled; and he gave them their 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 disappointed of their desire: [but] when their food was yet in their mouth,

 78:30 They were notº estrangedºº from their lust.ºº But while their meatº [was] yetº in their mouths,º

 78:31 then the indignation of God rose up against them, and slew the fattest of them, and overthrew the choice men of Israel.

 78:31 The wrathº of Elohimº cameºº upon them, and slewºº the fattestº of them, and smote downºº the chosenº [men] of Israel.º

 78:32 In the midst of all this they sinned yet more, and believed not his miracles.

 78:32 For allº thisº they sinnedºº still,º and believedºº notº for his wondrous works.ºº

 78:33 And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years with anxiety.

 78:33 Therefore their daysº did he consumeºº in vanity,º and their yearsº in trouble.º

 78:34 When he slew them, they sought him: and they returned and called betimes upon God.

 78:34 Whenº he slewºº them, then they soughtºº him: and they returnedºº and enquired earlyºº after El.º

 78:35 And they remembered that God was their helper, and the most high God was their redeemer.

 78:35 And they rememberedºº thatº Elohimº [was] their rock,º and Elº Elyonº their redeemer.ºº

 78:36 Yet they loved him [only] with their mouth, and lied to 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 steadfast 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 is compassionate, and will forgive their sins, and will not destroy [them]: yea, he will frequently turn away his wrath, and will not kindle all his anger.

 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 are flesh; a wind that passes away, and returns not.

 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 often did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and] anger him in a dry land!

 78:40 Howº oftº did they provokeºº him in the wilderness,º [and] grieveºº him in the desert!º

 78:41 Yea, they turned back, and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

 78:41 Yea, they turned backºº and temptedºº El,º and limitedºº the Holy Oneº of Israel.º

 78:42 They remembered not his hand, the day in which he delivered them from the hand of the oppressor.

 78:42 They rememberedºº notºº his hand,º [nor] the dayº whenº he deliveredºº them fromº the enemy.º

 78:43 How he had wrought his signs in Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, and his wonders in the field of Tanes:

 78:43 Howº he had wroughtºº his signsº in Egypt,º and his wondersº in the fieldº of Zoan:º

 78:44 and had changed their rivers into blood; and their streams, that they should not drink.

 78:44 And had turnedºº their riversº into blood;º and their floods,ºº that they could notº drink.ºº

 78:45 He sent against them the dog-fly, and it devoured them; and the frog, and it spoiled them.

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

 78:46 And he gave their fruit to the canker worm, and their labours to the locust.

 78:46 He gaveºº also their increaseº unto the caterpiller,º and their labourº unto the locust.º

 78:47 He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamores with frost.

 78:47 He destroyedºº their vinesº with hail,º and their sycomore treesº with frost.º

 78:48 And he gave up their cattle to hail, and their substance to the fire.

 78:48 He gave upºº their cattleº also to the hail,º and their flocksº to hot thunderbolts.º

 78:49 He sent out against them the fury of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and affliction, a message by evil angels.

 78:49 He castºº upon them the fiercenessº of his anger,º wrath,º and indignation,º and trouble,º by sendingº evilº angelsº [among them].

 78:50 He made a way for his wrath; he spared not their souls from death, but consigned their cattle to death;

 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 every first-born in the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}; the first-fruits of their labours in the tents of Ham{gr.Cham}.

 78:51 And smoteºº allº the firstbornº in Egypt;º the chiefº of [their] strengthº in the tabernaclesº of Ham:º

 78:52 And he removed his people like sheep; he led them as a flock in the wilderness.

 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 guided them with hope, and they feared not: but the sea covered 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 in to the mountain of his sanctuary, this mountain which his right hand had purchased.

 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 And he cast out the nations from before them, and made them to inherit by a line of inheritance, 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 and made the tribesº of Israelº to dwellºº in their tents.º

 78:56 Ye they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies.

 78:56 Yet they temptedºº and provokedººº Elohimº Elyon,º and keptºº notº his testimonies:º

 78:57 And they turned back, and broke covenant, even as also their fathers: they became like a crooked bow.

 78:57 But turned back,ºº and dealt unfaithfullyºº like their fathers:º they were turned asideºº like a deceitfulº bow.º

 78:58 And they provoked him with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

 78:58 For they provoked him to angerºº with their high places,º and moved him to jealousyºº with their graven images.º

 78:59 God heard and lightly regarded [them], and greatly despised Israel.

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

 78:60 And he rejected the tabernacle of Shelah{gr.Selom}, his tent where he dwelt among men.

 78:60 So that he forsookºº the tabernacleº of Shiloh,º the tentº [which] he placedºº among men;º

 78:61 And he gave their strength into captivity, and their beauty into the enemy's hand.

 78:61 And deliveredºº his strengthº into captivity,º and his gloryº into the enemy'sº hand.º

 78:62 And he gave his people to the sword; and disdained his inheritance.

 78:62 He gaveºº his peopleº overºº also unto the sword;º and was wrothºº with his inheritance.º

 78:63 Fire devoured their young men; and their virgins mourned not.

 78:63 The fireº consumedºº their young men;º and their maidensº were notº given to marriage.ºº

 78:64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows shall not be wept for.

 78:64 Their priestsº fellºº by the sword;º and their widowsº made noº lamentation.ºº

 78:65 So the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] as a mighty man who has been heated with wine.

 78:65 Then Yahwehº awakedºº as one out of sleep,º [and] like a mighty manº that shoutethºº by reason of wine.ºº

 78:66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he brought on them a perpetual reproach.

 78:66 And he smoteºº his enemiesº in the hinder parts:º he putºº them to a perpetualº reproach.º

 78:67 And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim;

 78:67 Moreover he refusedºº the tabernacleº of Joseph,º and choseºº notº the tribeº of Ephraim:º

 78:68 but chose the tribe of Judah{gr.Juda}, the mount Zion{gr.Sion} which he loved.

 78:68 But choseººº the tribeº of Judah,ºº the mountº Zionº whichº he loved.ºº

 78:69 And he built his sanctuary as [the place] of unicorns; he founded it for ever on the earth.

 78:69 And he builtºº his sanctuaryº likeº highºº [palaces], like the earthº which he hath establishedºº for ever.º

 78:70 He chose David also his servant, and took him up from the flocks of sheep.

 78:70 He choseºº Davidº also his servant,º and tookºº him from the sheepfolds:ººº

 78:71 He took him from following the ewes great with young, to be the shepherd of Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance.

 78:71 From followingºº the ewes great with youngºº he broughtºº him to feedºº Jacobº his people,º and Israelº his inheritance.º

 78:72 So he tended them in the innocency of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

 78:72 So he fedºº them according to the integrityº of his heart;º and guidedºº them by the skilfulnessº of his hands.º
