⁸ You have brought ^(A)a vine out of Egypt;
^(B)You have cast out the ^[a]nations, and planted it.

^12 (A)Marvelous things He did in the sight of their fathers,
In the land of Egypt, ^(B)in the field of Zoan.
^13 (C)He divided the sea and caused them to pass through;
And ^(D)He made the waters stand up like a heap.
^14 (E)In the daytime also He led them with the cloud,
And all the night with a light of fire.
^15 (F)He split the rocks in the wilderness,
And gave them drink in abundance like the depths.
¹⁶ He also brought ^(G)streams out of the rock,
And caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ But they sinned even more against Him
By ^(H)rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
¹⁸ And ^(I)they tested God in their heart
By asking for the food of their fancy.
^19 (J)Yes, they spoke against God:
They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
^20 (K)Behold, He struck the rock,
So that the waters gushed out,
And the streams overflowed.
Can He give bread also?
Can He provide meat for His people?”

²¹ Therefore the Lord heard this and ^(L)was furious;
So a fire was kindled against Jacob,
And anger also came up against Israel,
²² Because they ^(M)did not believe in God,
And did not trust in His salvation.
²³ Yet He had commanded the clouds above,
^(N)And opened the doors of heaven,
^24 (O)Had rained down manna on them to eat,
And given them of the ^[a]bread of ^(P)heaven.
²⁵ Men ate angels’ food;
He sent them food to ^[b]the full.

^26 (Q)He caused an east wind to blow in the heavens;
And by His power He brought in the south wind.
²⁷ He also rained meat on them like the dust,
Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas;
²⁸ And He let them fall in the midst of their camp,
All around their dwellings.
^29 (R)So they ate and were well filled,
For He gave them their own desire.
³⁰ They were not ^[c]deprived of their craving;
But ^(S)while their food was still in their mouths,
³¹ The wrath of God came against them,
And slew the stoutest of them,
And struck down the choice men of Israel.

³² In spite of this ^(T)they still sinned,
And ^(U)did not believe in His wondrous works.
^33 (V)Therefore their days He consumed in futility,
And their years in fear.

^34 (W)When He slew them, then they sought Him;
And they returned and sought earnestly for God.
³⁵ Then they remembered that ^(X)God was their rock,
And the Most High God ^(Y)their Redeemer.
³⁶ Nevertheless they ^(Z)flattered Him with their mouth,
And they lied to Him with their tongue;
³⁷ For their heart was not steadfast with Him,
Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
^38 (AA)But He, being full of ^(AB)compassion, forgave their iniquity,
And did not destroy them.
Yes, many a time ^(AC)He turned His anger away,
And ^(AD)did not stir up all His wrath;
³⁹ For ^(AE)He remembered ^(AF)that they were but flesh,
^(AG)A breath that passes away and does not come again.

⁴⁰ How often they ^(AH)provoked^[d] Him in the wilderness,
And grieved Him in the desert!
⁴¹ Yes, ^(AI)again and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.
⁴² They did not remember His ^[e]power:
The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,
⁴³ When He worked His signs in Egypt,
And His wonders in the field of Zoan;
^44 (AJ)Turned their rivers into blood,
And their streams, that they could not drink.
^45 (AK)He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them,
And ^(AL)frogs, which destroyed them.
⁴⁶ He also gave their crops to the caterpillar,
And their labor to the ^(AM)locust.
^47 (AN)He destroyed their vines with hail,
And their sycamore trees with frost.
⁴⁸ He also gave up their ^(AO)cattle to the hail,
And their flocks to fiery ^[f]lightning.
⁴⁹ He cast on them the fierceness of His anger,
Wrath, indignation, and trouble,
By sending angels of destruction among them.
⁵⁰ He made a path for His anger;
He did not spare their soul from death,
But gave ^[g]their life over to the plague,
⁵¹ And destroyed all the ^(AP)firstborn in Egypt,
The first of their strength in the tents of Ham.
⁵² But He ^(AQ)made His own people go forth like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
⁵³ And He ^(AR)led them on safely, so that they did not fear;
But the sea ^(AS)overwhelmed their enemies.
⁵⁴ And He brought them to His ^(AT)holy border,
This mountain ^(AU)which His right hand had acquired.
^55 (AV)He also drove out the nations before them,
^(AW)Allotted them an inheritance by ^[h]survey,
And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

^56 (AX)Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God,
And did not keep His testimonies,
⁵⁷ But ^(AY)turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers;
They were turned aside ^(AZ)like a deceitful bow.
^58 (BA)For they provoked Him to anger with their ^(BB)high places,
And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.
⁵⁹ When God heard this, He was furious,
And greatly abhorred Israel,
^60 (BC)So that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,
The tent He had placed among men,
^61 (BD)And delivered His strength into captivity,
And His glory into the enemy’s hand.
^62 (BE)He also gave His people over to the sword,
And was furious with His inheritance.
⁶³ The fire consumed their young men,
And ^(BF)their maidens were not given in marriage.
^64 (BG)Their priests fell by the sword,
And ^(BH)their widows made no lamentation.

⁶⁵ Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,
^(BI)Like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.
⁶⁶ And ^(BJ)He beat back His enemies;
He put them to a perpetual reproach.

⁶⁷ Moreover He rejected the tent of Joseph,
And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
⁶⁸ But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion ^(BK)which He loved.
⁶⁹ And He built His ^(BL)sanctuary like the heights,
Like the earth which He has established forever.
^70 (BM)He also chose David His servant,
And took him from the sheepfolds;
⁷¹ From following ^(BN)the ewes that had young He brought him,
^(BO)To shepherd Jacob His people,
And Israel His inheritance.
⁷² So he shepherded them according to the ^(BP)integrity of his heart,
And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
