诗篇 78
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
述选民违逆及神恩导
78 亚萨的训诲诗。
1 我的民哪，你们要留心听我的训诲，侧耳听我口中的话。
2 我要开口说比喻，我要说出古时的谜语，
3 是我们所听见所知道的，也是我们的祖宗告诉我们的。
4 我们不将这些事向他们的子孙隐瞒，要将耶和华的美德和他的能力，并他奇妙的作为，述说给后代听。
5 因为他在雅各中立法度，在以色列中设律法，是他吩咐我们祖宗要传给子孙的，
6 使将要生的后代子孙可以晓得。他们也要起来告诉他们的子孙，
7 好叫他们仰望神，不忘记神的作为，唯要守他的命令，
8 不要像他们的祖宗，是顽梗悖逆居心不正之辈，向着神心不诚实。
9 以法莲的子孙带着兵器拿着弓，临阵之日转身退后。
10 他们不遵守神的约，不肯照他的律法行。
11 又忘记他所行的，和他显给他们奇妙的作为。
12 他在埃及地，在琐安田，在他们祖宗的眼前，施行奇事。
13 他将海分裂，使他们过去，又叫水立起如垒。
14 他白日用云彩，终夜用火光，引导他们。
15 他在旷野分裂磐石，多多地给他们水喝，如从深渊而出。
16 他使水从磐石涌出，叫水如江河下流。
17 他们却仍旧得罪他，在干燥之地悖逆至高者。
18 他们心中试探神，随自己所欲的求食物，
19 并且妄论神说：“神在旷野岂能摆设筵席吗？
20 他曾击打磐石，使水涌出成了江河，他还能赐粮食吗？还能为他的百姓预备肉吗？”
21 所以耶和华听见就发怒，有烈火向雅各烧起，有怒气向以色列上腾。
22 因为他们不信服神，不倚赖他的救恩。
23 他却吩咐天空，又敞开天上的门，
24 降吗哪像雨给他们吃，将天上的粮食赐给他们。
25 各人[a]吃大能者的食物，他赐下粮食，使他们饱足。
26 他领东风起在天空，又用能力引了南风来。
27 他降肉像雨在他们当中，多如尘土，又降飞鸟，多如海沙，
28 落在他们的营中，在他们住处的四面。
29 他们吃了，而且饱足，这样就随了他们所欲的。
30 他们贪而无厌，食物还在他们口中的时候，
31 神的怒气就向他们上腾，杀了他们内中的肥壮人，打倒以色列的少年人。
32 虽是这样，他们仍旧犯罪，不信他奇妙的作为。
33 因此他叫他们的日子全归虚空，叫他们的年岁尽属惊恐。
34 他杀他们的时候，他们才求问他，回心转意，切切地寻求神。
35 他们也追念神是他们的磐石，至高的神是他们的救赎主。
36 他们却用口谄媚他，用舌向他说谎。
37 因他们的心向他不正，在他的约上也不忠心。
38 但他有怜悯，赦免他们的罪孽，不灭绝他们，而且屡次消他的怒气，不发尽他的愤怒。
39 他想到他们不过是血气，是一阵去而不返的风。
40 他们在旷野悖逆他，在荒地叫他担忧，何其多呢！
41 他们再三试探神，惹动以色列的圣者。
42 他们不追念他的能力[b]和赎他们脱离敌人的日子。
43 他怎样在埃及地显神迹，在琐安田显奇事，
44 把他们的江河并河汊的水都变为血，使他们不能喝。
45 他叫苍蝇成群落在他们当中，嘬尽他们，又叫青蛙灭了他们；
46 把他们的土产交给蚂蚱，把他们辛苦得来的交给蝗虫。
47 他降冰雹打坏他们的葡萄树，下严霜打坏他们的桑树；
48 又把他们的牲畜交给冰雹，把他们的群畜交给闪电。
49 他使猛烈的怒气和愤怒、恼恨、苦难成了一群降灾的使者，临到他们。
50 他为自己的怒气修平了路，将他们交给瘟疫，使他们死亡。
51 在埃及击杀一切长子，在含的帐篷中击杀他们强壮时头生的。
52 他却领出自己的民如羊，在旷野引他们如羊群。
53 他领他们稳稳妥妥的，使他们不致害怕，海却淹没他们的仇敌。
54 他带他们到自己圣地的边界，到他右手所得的这山地。
55 他在他们面前赶出外邦人，用绳子将外邦的地量给他们为业，叫以色列支派的人住在他们的帐篷里。
56 他们仍旧试探、悖逆至高的神，不守他的法度，
57 反倒退后，行诡诈，像他们的祖宗一样，他们改变如同翻背的弓。
58 因他们的丘坛惹了他的怒气，因他们雕刻的偶像触动他的愤恨。
59 神听见就发怒，极其憎恶以色列人。
60 甚至他离弃示罗的帐幕，就是他在人间所搭的帐篷；
61 又将他的约柜[c]交于人掳去，将他的荣耀交在敌人手中。
62 并将他的百姓交于刀剑，向他的产业发怒。
63 少年人被火烧灭，处女也无喜歌。
64 祭司倒在刀下，寡妇却不哀哭。
65 那时主像世人睡醒，像勇士饮酒呼喊。
66 他就打退了他的敌人，叫他们永蒙羞辱。
67 并且他弃掉约瑟的帐篷，不拣选以法莲支派，
68 却拣选犹大支派，他所喜爱的锡安山，
69 盖造他的圣所好像高峰，又像他建立永存之地。
70 又拣选他的仆人大卫，从羊圈中将他召来，
71 叫他不再跟从那些带奶的母羊，为要牧养自己的百姓雅各和自己的产业以色列。
72 于是他按心中的纯正牧养他们，用手中的巧妙引导他们。
Psalm 78

Psalm 78
Easy-to-Read Version
One of Asaph’s maskils.
78 My people, listen to my teachings.
Listen to what I say.
2 I will tell you a story.
I will tell you about things from the past that are hard to understand.
3 We have heard the story, and we know it well.
Our fathers told it to us.
4 And we will not forget it.
Our people will be telling this story to the last generation.
We will all praise the Lord
and tell about the amazing things he did.
5 He made an agreement with Jacob.
He gave the law to Israel.
He gave the commands to our ancestors.
He told them to teach the law to their children.
6 Then the next generation, even the children not yet born, would learn the law.
And they would be able to teach it to their own children.
7 So they would all trust in God,
never forgetting what he had done
and always obeying his commands.
8 They would not be like their ancestors,
who were stubborn and refused to obey.
Their hearts were not devoted to God,
and they were not faithful to him.
9 The men from Ephraim had their weapons,
but they ran from the battle.
10 They did not keep their agreement with God.
They refused to obey his teachings.
11 They forgot the great things he had done
and the amazing things he had shown them.
12 While their ancestors watched,
he showed his great power at Zoan in Egypt.
13 He split the Red Sea and led the people across.
The water stood like a solid wall on both sides of them.
14 Each day God led them with the tall cloud,
and each night he led them with the light from the column of fire.
15 He split the rocks in the desert
and gave them an ocean of fresh water.
16 He brought a stream of water out of the rock
and made it flow like a river!
17 But they continued sinning against him.
They rebelled against God Most High in the desert.
18 Then they decided to test God
by telling him to give them the food they wanted.
19 They complained about him and said,
“Can God give us food in the desert?
20 Yes, he struck the rock and a flood of water came out.
But can he give us bread and meat?”
21 The Lord heard what they said
and became angry with Jacob’s people.
He was angry with Israel,
22 because they did not trust in him.
They did not believe that God could save them.
23-24 But then God opened the clouds above,
and manna rained down on them for food.
It was as if doors in the sky opened,
and grain poured down from a storehouse in the sky.
25 These people ate the food of angels.
God sent plenty of food to satisfy them.
26 He sent a strong wind from the east,
and by his power he made the south wind blow.
27 He made quail fall like rain until they covered the ground.
There were so many birds that they were like sand on the seashore.
28 The birds fell in the middle of the camp,
all around their tents.
29 The people ate until they were full.
God had given them what they wanted.
30 But before they were fully satisfied,
while the food was still in their mouths,
31 God became angry and killed even the strongest of them.
He brought down Israel’s best young men.
32 But the people continued to sin!
They did not trust in the amazing things God could do.
33 So he ended their worthless lives;
he brought their years to a close with disaster.
34 When he killed some of them, the others would turn back to him.
They would come running back to God.
35 They would remember that God was their Rock.
They would remember that God Most High had saved them.
36 But they tried to fool him with their words;
they told him lies.
37 Their hearts were not really with him.
They were not faithful to the agreement he gave them.
38 But God was merciful.
He forgave their sins and did not destroy them.
Many times he held back his anger.
He never let it get out of control.
39 He remembered that they were only people,
like a wind that blows and then is gone.
40 Oh, they caused him so much trouble in the desert!
They made him so sad.
41 Again and again they tested his patience.
They really hurt the Holy One of Israel.
42 They forgot about his power.
They forgot the many times he saved them from the enemy.
43 They forgot the miracles in Egypt,
the miracles in the fields of Zoan.
44 God turned the rivers into blood,
and the Egyptians could not drink the water.
45 He sent swarms of flies that bit them.
He sent the frogs that ruined their lives.
46 He gave their crops to grasshoppers
and their other plants to locusts.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail
and their trees with sleet.
48 He killed their animals with hail
and their cattle with lightning.
49 He showed the Egyptians his anger.
He sent his destroying angels against them.
50 He found a way to show his anger.
He did not spare their lives.
He let them die with a deadly disease.
51 He killed all the firstborn sons in Egypt.
He killed every firstborn in Ham’s[a] family.
52 Then he led Israel like a shepherd.
He led his people like sheep into the desert.
53 He guided them safely.
They had nothing to fear.
He drowned their enemies in the sea.
54 He led his people to his holy land,
to the mountain he took with his own power.
55 He forced the other nations out before them
and gave each family its share of the land.
He gave each tribe of Israel a place to live.
56 But they tested God Most High and made him very sad.
They didn’t obey his commands.
57 They turned against him and were unfaithful just like their ancestors.
They changed directions like a boomerang.
58 They built high places and made God angry.
They built statues of false gods and made him jealous.
59 God heard what they were doing and became very angry.
So he rejected Israel completely!
60 He abandoned his place at Shiloh,[b]
the Holy Tent where he lived among the people.
61 He let foreigners capture the Box of the Agreement,
the symbol of his power and glory.
62 He showed his anger against his people
and let them be killed in war.
63 Their young men were burned to death,
and there were no wedding songs for their young women.
64 Their priests were killed,
but the widows had no time to mourn for them.
65 Finally, our Lord got up
like a man waking from his sleep,
like a soldier after drinking too much wine.
66 He forced his enemies to turn back defeated.
He brought them shame that will last forever.
67 Then he rejected Joseph’s family.
He did not accept Ephraim’s family.
68 No, he chose the tribe of Judah,
and he chose Mount Zion, the place he loves.
69 He built his holy Temple high on that mountain.
Like the earth, God built his Temple to last forever.
70 He chose David to be his special servant.
He took him from the sheep pens.
71 He took him away from the job of caring for sheep
and gave him the job of caring for the descendants of Jacob—Israel, his chosen people.
72 And David led them with a pure heart
and guided them very wisely.

Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang pagakay ng Panginoon sa kaniyang bayan sa kabila ng pagkawalang tiwala. Masquil ni Asaph.
78 Makinig kayo, Oh bayan ko, sa aking kautusan:
Ikiling ninyo ang inyong mga pakinig sa mga salita ng aking bibig.
2 (A)Aking bubukhin ang aking bibig sa isang talinghaga;
Ako'y magsasalita ng mga malabong (B)sabi ng una:
3 (C)Na aming narinig at naalaman,
At isinaysay sa amin ng aming mga magulang.
4 (D)Hindi namin ikukubli sa kanilang mga anak,
(E)Na isasaysay sa salin ng lahing darating ang mga pagpuri sa Panginoon,
At ang kaniyang kalakasan, at ang kaniyang mga kagilagilalas na mga gawa na kaniyang ginawa.
5 Sapagka't siya'y nagtatag ng (F)patotoo sa Jacob,
At nagtakda ng kautusan sa Israel,
Na kaniyang iniutos sa aming mga magulang,
Na kanilang ipabatid sa kanilang mga anak:
6 (G)Upang maalaman ng lahing darating, sa makatuwid baga'y ng mga anak na ipanganganak;
Na siyang magsisibangon, at mangagsasaysay sa kanilang mga anak:
7 Upang kanilang mailagak ang kanilang pagasa sa Dios,
At huwag kalimutan ang mga gawa ng Dios,
Kundi ingatan ang kaniyang mga utos:
8 At huwag maging gaya ng kanilang mga magulang,
(H)May matigas na ulo at mapanghimagsik na lahi;
Isang lahing di naglagay sa matuwid ng kanilang puso,
At ang kanilang diwa ay hindi tapat sa Dios,
9 Ang mga anak ni Ephraim, gayong may sakbat at may dalang mga busog,
At nagsitalikod sa kaarawan ng pagbabaka.
10 Hindi nila tinupad ang tipan ng Dios,
At nagsitangging magsilakad sa kaniyang kautusan;
11 At kanilang kinalimutan ang kaniyang mga gawa,
At ang kaniyang mga kagilagilalas na mga gawa na kaniyang ipinakita sa kanila.
12 Mga kagilagilalas na mga bagay ay ginawa niya (I)sa paningin ng kanilang mga magulang,
Sa lupain ng Egipto, (J)sa parang ng Zoan.
13 (K)Hinawi niya ang dagat, at pinaraan niya sila;
At kaniyang pinatayo ang tubig na parang bunton.
14 (L)Sa araw naman ay kaniyang pinatnubayan sila sa pamamagitan ng isang ulap,
At buong gabi ay sa pamamagitan ng tanglaw na apoy.
15 (M)Kaniyang pinuwangan ang mga bato sa ilang,
At pinainom niya sila ng sagana na gaya ng mula sa mga kalaliman.
16 Nagpabukal naman siya mula sa bato.
At nagpababa ng tubig na parang mga ilog.
17 Gayon ma'y nagkasala uli sila laban sa kaniya,
(N)Upang manghimagsik laban sa Kataastaasan sa ilang.
18 At kanilang (O)tinukso ang Dios sa kanilang puso,
Sa paghingi ng pagkain sa kanilang pita.
19 Oo, sila'y nagsalita laban sa Dios;
Kanilang sinabi, Makapaghahanda ba ang Dios ng dulang sa ilang?
20 (P)Narito, kaniyang pinalo ang bato, na ang mga tubig ay bumubuluwak,
At mga bukal ay nagsisiapaw;
Makapagbibigay ba siya ng tinapay naman?
Ipaghahanda ba niya ng karne ang kaniyang bayan?
21 Kaya't narinig ng Panginoon, (Q)at napoot:
At isang apoy ay nagalab laban sa Jacob,
At galit naman ay napailanglang laban sa Israel;
22 Sapagka't sila'y hindi nagsisampalataya sa Dios,
At hindi nagsitiwala sa kaniyang pagliligtas.
23 Gayon ma'y nagutos siya sa mga langit sa itaas,
At binuksan ang mga pintuan ng langit;
24 (R)At pinaulanan niya sila ng mana upang makain.
At binigyan sila ng (S)trigo ng langit.
25 Kumain ang tao ng (T)tinapay ng makapangyarihan:
Pinadalhan niya sila ng pagkain Hanggang sa nangabusog.
26 (U)Kaniyang pinahihip ang hanging silanganan sa mga langit:
At sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kapangyarihan ay pinatnubayan niya ang hanging timugan.
27 Pinaulanan naman niya sila ng karne na parang alabok,
At ng mga ibong parang buhangin sa mga dagat:
28 (V)At pinalagpak niya sa gitna ng kanilang kampamento,
Sa palibot ng kanilang mga tahanan.
29 Sa gayo'y nagsikain sila, at nangabusog na mabuti;
At ibinigay niya sa kanila ang (W)kanilang pita.
30 Hindi sila nagsihiwalay sa kanilang pita,
Ang kanilang pagkain ay nasa kanila pang mga bibig,
31 Nang ang galit ng Dios ay paitaas laban sa kanila,
At (X)pumatay sa mga pinakamataba sa kanila,
At sinaktan ang mga binata sa Israel.
32 Sa lahat ng ito ay (Y)nangagkasala pa sila,
At hindi naniwala sa kaniyang kagilagilalas na mga gawa.
33 (Z)Kaya't kaniyang pinaram ang kanilang mga kaarawan sa (AA)walang kabuluhan,
At ang kanilang mga taon ay sa mga kakilabutan.
34 (AB)Nang kaniyang patayin sila, sila'y nangagusisa sa kaniya: at sila'y nagsibalik, at nagsihanap ng tapat sa Dios.
35 At kanilang naalaala na ang (AC)Dios ay kanilang malaking bato,
At ang Kataastaasang Dios ay (AD)kanilang manunubos.
36 Nguni't tinutuya nila (AE)siya ng kanilang bibig,
At pinagbubulaanan nila siya ng kanilang dila.
37 Sapagka't ang kanilang puso ay hindi matuwid sa kaniya,
Ni tapat man sila sa kaniyang tipan.
38 (AF)Nguni't siya, palibhasa'y puspos ng kaawaan, ay pinatawad ang kanilang kasamaan at hindi sila nilipol:
Oo, madalas na inihiwalay ang kaniyang galit,
At hindi pinukaw ang buo niyang poot.
39 (AG)At naalaala niyang (AH)sila'y laman lamang;
Hanging dumadaan, at hindi bumabalik.
40 Kay dalas na nanghimagsik nila laban sa kaniya sa ilang,
At pinapanglaw nila (AI)siya sa ilang!
41 At sila'y nagsibalik uli, at tinukso ang Dios,
At minungkahi ang Banal ng Israel.
42 Hindi nila inalaala ang kaniyang kamay,
Ni ang araw man nang kaniyang tubusin sila sa kaaway.
43 (AJ)Kung paanong kaniyang inilagay ang kaniyang mga tanda sa Egipto,
At ang kaniyang mga kababalaghan sa parang ng Zoan;
44 (AK)At pinapaging dugo ang kanilang mga ilog,
At ang kanilang mga bukal, na anopa't hindi sila makainom.
45 (AL)Nagsugo rin siya sa gitna nila ng mga pulutong ng mga bangaw na lumamon sa kanila;
At mga (AM)palaka, na nagsigiba sa kanila.
46 Ibinigay rin niya ang kanilang bunga sa tipaklong,
At ang kanilang pakinabang sa (AN)balang.
47 Sinira niya ang (AO)kanilang ubasan ng granizo,
At ang mga puno nila ng sikomoro ng escarcha.
48 (AP)Ibinigay rin naman niya ang kanilang mga hayop sa granizo,
At sa mga lintik ang kanilang mga kawan.
49 Ibinugso niya sa kanila ang kabangisan ng kaniyang galit,
Poot at galit, at kabagabagan,
Pulutong ng mga anghel ng kasamaan.
50 Kaniyang iginawa ng landas ang kaniyang galit;
Hindi niya pinigil ang kanilang buhay sa kamatayan,
Kundi ibinigay ang kanilang buhay sa pagkapuksa;
51 (AQ)At sinaktan ang lahat na panganay sa Egipto,
Ang panguna ng kanilang kalakasan sa mga tolda ni (AR)Cham:
52 Nguni't kaniyang pinayaon ang kaniyang sariling bayan na (AS)parang mga tupa,
At pinatnubayan sila sa ilang na parang kawan.
53 At inihatid niya silang tiwasay, na anopa't hindi sila nangatakot:
Nguni't (AT)tinakpan ng dagat ang kanilang mga kaaway.
54 At dinala niya sila sa hangganan ng kaniyang (AU)santuario,
Sa bundok na ito na binili ng kaniyang kanang kamay.
55 Pinalayas din niya ang mga bansa sa harap nila,
At (AV)binahagi sa kanila na pinakamana (AW)sa pamamagitan ng pising panukat,
At pinatahan ang mga lipi ng Israel sa kanilang mga tolda.
56 Gayon ma'y nanukso at nanghimagsik sila laban sa Kataastaasang Dios,
At hindi iningatan ang kaniyang mga patotoo;
57 Kundi nagsitalikod, at nagsigawang may paglililo na gaya ng kanilang mga magulang:
Sila'y nagsilisyang (AX)parang magdarayang busog.
58 Sapagka't minungkahi nila siya sa galit ng kanilang mga (AY)mataas na dako,
At kinilos nila siya sa panibugho ng kanilang mga larawang inanyuan.
59 Nang marinig ito ng Dios, ay napoot,
At kinayamutang lubha ang Israel:
60 (AZ)Sa gayo'y kaniyang pinabayaan ang tabernakulo ng (BA)Silo,
Ang tolda na kaniyang inilagay sa gitna ng mga tao;
61 At ibinigay ang kaniyang (BB)kalakasan sa pagkabihag,
At ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian ay sa kamay ng kaaway.
62 (BC)Ibinigay rin niya ang kaniyang bayan sa tabak;
At napoot sa kaniyang mana.
63 Nilamon ng apoy ang kanilang mga binata;
At (BD)ang mga dalaga nila'y hindi nagkaroon ng awit ng pagaasawa.
64 (BE)Ang mga saserdote nila'y nabuwal sa pamamagitan ng tabak;
At (BF)ang mga bao nila'y hindi nanganaghoy.
65 Nang magkagayo'y gumising ang Panginoon na gaya (BG)ng mula sa pagkakatulog,
Gaya ng malakas na tao na humihiyaw dahil sa alak.
66 At (BH)sinaktan niya sa likod ang kaniyang mga kaaway:
Inilagay niya sila sa laging kadustaan.
67 Bukod dito'y tinanggihan niya ang tolda ng Jose,
At hindi pinili ang lipi ni Ephraim;
68 Kundi pinili ang lipi ni Juda,
Ang bundok ng Zion (BI)na kaniyang inibig.
69 At itinayo niya ang kaniyang santuario na parang mga kataasan,
Parang lupa na kaniyang itinatag magpakailan man.
70 (BJ)Pinili naman niya si David na kaniyang lingkod,
At kinuha niya siya mula sa kulungan ng mga tupa:
71 (BK)Dinala niya siya na mula sa pagsunod sa mga tupa ng nagpapasuso,
Upang maging pastor ng Jacob na kaniyang bayan, at ang Israel na kaniyang mana.
72 Sa gayo'y siya ang kanilang pastor ayon sa (BL)pagtatapat ng kaniyang puso;
At pinatnubayan niya sila sa pamamagitan ng kabihasahan ng kaniyang mga kamay.

Psalm 78
New International Version
Psalm 78
A maskil[a] of Asaph.
1 My people, hear my teaching;(A)
listen to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth with a parable;(B)
I will utter hidden things, things from of old—
3 things we have heard and known,
things our ancestors have told us.(C)
4 We will not hide them from their descendants;(D)
we will tell the next generation(E)
the praiseworthy deeds(F) of the Lord,
his power, and the wonders(G) he has done.
5 He decreed statutes(H) for Jacob(I)
and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach their children,
6 so the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,(J)
and they in turn would tell their children.
7 Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget(K) his deeds
but would keep his commands.(L)
8 They would not be like their ancestors(M)—
a stubborn(N) and rebellious(O) generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.
9 The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows,(P)
turned back on the day of battle;(Q)
10 they did not keep God’s covenant(R)
and refused to live by his law.(S)
11 They forgot what he had done,(T)
the wonders he had shown them.
12 He did miracles(U) in the sight of their ancestors
in the land of Egypt,(V) in the region of Zoan.(W)
13 He divided the sea(X) and led them through;
he made the water stand up like a wall.(Y)
14 He guided them with the cloud by day
and with light from the fire all night.(Z)
15 He split the rocks(AA) in the wilderness
and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
16 he brought streams out of a rocky crag
and made water flow down like rivers.
17 But they continued to sin(AB) against him,
rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.
18 They willfully put God to the test(AC)
by demanding the food they craved.(AD)
19 They spoke against God;(AE)
they said, “Can God really
spread a table in the wilderness?
20 True, he struck the rock,
and water gushed out,(AF)
streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
Can he supply meat(AG) for his people?”
21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
his fire broke out(AH) against Jacob,
and his wrath rose against Israel,
22 for they did not believe in God
or trust(AI) in his deliverance.
23 Yet he gave a command to the skies above
and opened the doors of the heavens;(AJ)
24 he rained down manna(AK) for the people to eat,
he gave them the grain of heaven.
25 Human beings ate the bread of angels;
he sent them all the food they could eat.
26 He let loose the east wind(AL) from the heavens
and by his power made the south wind blow.
27 He rained meat down on them like dust,
birds(AM) like sand on the seashore.
28 He made them come down inside their camp,
all around their tents.
29 They ate till they were gorged—(AN)
he had given them what they craved.
30 But before they turned from what they craved,
even while the food was still in their mouths,(AO)
31 God’s anger rose against them;
he put to death the sturdiest(AP) among them,
cutting down the young men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;(AQ)
in spite of his wonders,(AR) they did not believe.(AS)
33 So he ended their days in futility(AT)
and their years in terror.
34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek(AU) him;
they eagerly turned to him again.
35 They remembered that God was their Rock,(AV)
that God Most High was their Redeemer.(AW)
36 But then they would flatter him with their mouths,(AX)
lying to him with their tongues;
37 their hearts were not loyal(AY) to him,
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38 Yet he was merciful;(AZ)
he forgave(BA) their iniquities(BB)
and did not destroy them.
Time after time he restrained his anger(BC)
and did not stir up his full wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,(BD)
a passing breeze(BE) that does not return.
40 How often they rebelled(BF) against him in the wilderness(BG)
and grieved him(BH) in the wasteland!
41 Again and again they put God to the test;(BI)
they vexed the Holy One of Israel.(BJ)
42 They did not remember(BK) his power—
the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,(BL)
43 the day he displayed his signs(BM) in Egypt,
his wonders(BN) in the region of Zoan.
44 He turned their river into blood;(BO)
they could not drink from their streams.
45 He sent swarms of flies(BP) that devoured them,
and frogs(BQ) that devastated them.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper,(BR)
their produce to the locust.(BS)
47 He destroyed their vines with hail(BT)
and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
48 He gave over their cattle to the hail,
their livestock(BU) to bolts of lightning.
49 He unleashed against them his hot anger,(BV)
his wrath, indignation and hostility—
a band of destroying angels.(BW)
50 He prepared a path for his anger;
he did not spare them from death
but gave them over to the plague.
51 He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,(BX)
the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.(BY)
52 But he brought his people out like a flock;(BZ)
he led them like sheep through the wilderness.
53 He guided them safely, so they were unafraid;
but the sea engulfed(CA) their enemies.(CB)
54 And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
to the hill country his right hand(CC) had taken.
55 He drove out nations(CD) before them
and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;(CE)
he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
56 But they put God to the test
and rebelled against the Most High;
they did not keep his statutes.
57 Like their ancestors(CF) they were disloyal and faithless,
as unreliable as a faulty bow.(CG)
58 They angered him(CH) with their high places;(CI)
they aroused his jealousy with their idols.(CJ)
59 When God heard(CK) them, he was furious;(CL)
he rejected Israel(CM) completely.
60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,(CN)
the tent he had set up among humans.(CO)
61 He sent the ark of his might(CP) into captivity,(CQ)
his splendor into the hands of the enemy.
62 He gave his people over to the sword;(CR)
he was furious with his inheritance.(CS)
63 Fire consumed(CT) their young men,
and their young women had no wedding songs;(CU)
64 their priests were put to the sword,(CV)
and their widows could not weep.
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,(CW)
as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.
66 He beat back his enemies;
he put them to everlasting shame.(CX)
67 Then he rejected the tents of Joseph,
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;(CY)
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,(CZ)
Mount Zion,(DA) which he loved.
69 He built his sanctuary(DB) like the heights,
like the earth that he established forever.
70 He chose David(DC) his servant
and took him from the sheep pens;
71 from tending the sheep(DD) he brought him
to be the shepherd(DE) of his people Jacob,
of Israel his inheritance.
72 And David shepherded them with integrity of heart;(DF)
with skillful hands he led them.
