1(78) [A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph. Give heed, O my people, to my law: incline your ear to the words of my mouth.
1I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
2I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter dark sayings [which have been] from the beginning.
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
3All which we have heard and known, and our fathers have declared to us.
3I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4They 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.
4Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5And 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:
5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6that another generation might know, even the sons which should be born; and they should arise and declare them to their children.
6I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the works of God, but diligently seek his commandments.
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
8That 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.
8Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
9The children of Ephraim, bending and shooting [with] the bow, turned [back] in the day of battle.
9Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10They kept not the covenant of God, and would not walk in his law.
10And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
11And they forgot his benefits, and his miracles which he [had] showed them;
11I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
12the miracles which he wrought before their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the plain of Tanes.
12I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
13He clave the sea, and led them through: he made the waters to stand as [in] a bottle.
13Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
14And he guided them with a cloud by day, and all the night with a light of fire.
14Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
15he clave a rock in the wilderness, and made them drink as in a great deep.
15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16And he brought water out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down as rivers.
16The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
17And they sinned yet more against him; they provoked the Most High in the wilderness.
17The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
18And they tempted God in their hearts, in asking meat for [the desire of] their souls.
18The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19They spoke also against God, and said, Will God be able to prepare a table in the wilderness?
19Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
20Forasmuch as he struck 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?
20Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
