God’s Guidance of His People in Spite of Their Unfaithfulness.

A ^[a]Maskil of Asaph.

78 ^(A)Listen, my people, to my ^[b]instruction;
^(B)Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
²I will ^(C)open my mouth in a parable;
I will tell ^(D)riddles of old,
³Which we have heard and known,
And ^(E)our fathers have told us.
⁴We will ^(F)not conceal them from their children,
But we will ^(G)tell the generation to come the praises of the Lord,
And His power and His ^(H)wondrous works that He has done.

Psalm 78:12-16

New American Standard Bible

¹²^(A)He performed wonders before their fathers
In the land of Egypt, in the ^(B)field of Zoan.
¹³He ^(C)divided the sea and caused them to pass through,
And He made the waters stand ^(D)up like a heap.
¹⁴Then He led them with the cloud by ^(E)day
And all the night with a ^(F)light of fire.
¹⁵He ^(G)split the rocks in the wilderness
And gave them plenty to drink like the ocean depths.
¹⁶He ^(H)brought forth streams from the rock
And made waters run down like rivers.
