12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.

16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

21 Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan.

44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.

48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

55 He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.

62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.

63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.

64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.

67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

69 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

12 He did miracles(A) in the sight of their ancestors
    in the land of Egypt,(B) in the region of Zoan.(C)
13 He divided the sea(D) and led them through;
    he made the water stand up like a wall.(E)
14 He guided them with the cloud by day
    and with light from the fire all night.(F)
15 He split the rocks(G) 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(H) against him,
    rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.
18 They willfully put God to the test(I)
    by demanding the food they craved.(J)
19 They spoke against God;(K)
    they said, “Can God really
    spread a table in the wilderness?
20 True, he struck the rock,
    and water gushed out,(L)
    streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
    Can he supply meat(M) for his people?”
21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
    his fire broke out(N) against Jacob,
    and his wrath rose against Israel,
22 for they did not believe in God
    or trust(O) in his deliverance.
23 Yet he gave a command to the skies above
    and opened the doors of the heavens;(P)
24 he rained down manna(Q) 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(R) from the heavens
    and by his power made the south wind blow.
27 He rained meat down on them like dust,
    birds(S) 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—(T)
    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,(U)
31 God’s anger rose against them;
    he put to death the sturdiest(V) among them,
    cutting down the young men of Israel.

32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;(W)
    in spite of his wonders,(X) they did not believe.(Y)
33 So he ended their days in futility(Z)
    and their years in terror.
34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek(AA) him;
    they eagerly turned to him again.
35 They remembered that God was their Rock,(AB)
    that God Most High was their Redeemer.(AC)
36 But then they would flatter him with their mouths,(AD)
    lying to him with their tongues;
37 their hearts were not loyal(AE) to him,
    they were not faithful to his covenant.
38 Yet he was merciful;(AF)
    he forgave(AG) their iniquities(AH)
    and did not destroy them.
Time after time he restrained his anger(AI)
    and did not stir up his full wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,(AJ)
    a passing breeze(AK) that does not return.

40 How often they rebelled(AL) against him in the wilderness(AM)
    and grieved him(AN) in the wasteland!
41 Again and again they put God to the test;(AO)
    they vexed the Holy One of Israel.(AP)
42 They did not remember(AQ) his power—
    the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,(AR)
43 the day he displayed his signs(AS) in Egypt,
    his wonders(AT) in the region of Zoan.
44 He turned their river into blood;(AU)
    they could not drink from their streams.
45 He sent swarms of flies(AV) that devoured them,
    and frogs(AW) that devastated them.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper,(AX)
    their produce to the locust.(AY)
47 He destroyed their vines with hail(AZ)
    and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
48 He gave over their cattle to the hail,
    their livestock(BA) to bolts of lightning.
49 He unleashed against them his hot anger,(BB)
    his wrath, indignation and hostility—
    a band of destroying angels.(BC)
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,(BD)
    the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.(BE)
52 But he brought his people out like a flock;(BF)
    he led them like sheep through the wilderness.
53 He guided them safely, so they were unafraid;
    but the sea engulfed(BG) their enemies.(BH)
54 And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
    to the hill country his right hand(BI) had taken.
55 He drove out nations(BJ) before them
    and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;(BK)
    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(BL) they were disloyal and faithless,
    as unreliable as a faulty bow.(BM)
58 They angered him(BN) with their high places;(BO)
    they aroused his jealousy with their idols.(BP)
59 When God heard(BQ) them, he was furious;(BR)
    he rejected Israel(BS) completely.
60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,(BT)
    the tent he had set up among humans.(BU)
61 He sent the ark of his might(BV) into captivity,(BW)
    his splendor into the hands of the enemy.
62 He gave his people over to the sword;(BX)
    he was furious with his inheritance.(BY)
63 Fire consumed(BZ) their young men,
    and their young women had no wedding songs;(CA)
64 their priests were put to the sword,(CB)
    and their widows could not weep.

65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,(CC)
    as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.
66 He beat back his enemies;
    he put them to everlasting shame.(CD)
67 Then he rejected the tents of Joseph,
    he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;(CE)
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,(CF)
    Mount Zion,(CG) which he loved.
69 He built his sanctuary(CH) like the heights,
    like the earth that he established forever.
70 He chose David(CI) his servant
    and took him from the sheep pens;
71 from tending the sheep(CJ) he brought him
    to be the shepherd(CK) of his people Jacob,
    of Israel his inheritance.
72 And David shepherded them with integrity of heart;(CL)
    with skillful hands he led them.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

11 Then his people recalled[a] the days of old,
    the days of Moses and his people—
where is he who brought them through the sea,(A)
    with the shepherd of his flock?(B)
Where is he who set
    his Holy Spirit(C) among them,
12 who sent his glorious arm(D) of power
    to be at Moses’ right hand,
who divided the waters(E) before them,
    to gain for himself everlasting renown,(F)
13 who led(G) them through the depths?(H)
Like a horse in open country,
    they did not stumble;(I)
14 like cattle that go down to the plain,
    they were given rest(J) by the Spirit of the Lord.
This is how you guided your people
    to make for yourself a glorious name.

15 Look down from heaven(K) and see,
    from your lofty throne,(L) holy and glorious.
Where are your zeal(M) and your might?
    Your tenderness and compassion(N) are withheld(O) from us.
