When the waters saw theeyou O God when the waters saw theeyou they were afraid; yea the very deep trembled |
| 77:17 |
The clouds poured out water; the skies gave forth thunderthundered; thyyour arrows flashed on every side |
| 77:18 |
The crash of thyyour thunder was in the whirlwind; thyyour lightnings lightedlit up the world; the earth trembled and shook |
| 77:19 |
ThyYour way was through the sea thyyour path through the greatmighty waters; yet thyyour footprints were unseen |
| 77:20 |
ThouYou didstled leadyour thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron |
| 78:3 |
things that we have heard and known that our fathersancestors have told us |
| 78:4 |
We will not hide them from their children; butwe will tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord and his might and the wonders whichthat he has wroughtdone |
| 78:5 |
He established a testimonydecree in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel which he commanded our fathersancestors to teach to their children; |
| 78:6 |
that the next generation might know them the children yet unborn and ariserise up and tell them to their children |
| 78:7 |
so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God but keep his commandments; |
| 78:8 |
and that they should not be like their fathersancestors a stubborn and rebellious generation a generation whose heart was not steadfast whose spirit was not faithful to God |
| 78:9 |
The E′phraimitesEphraimites armed with the bow turned back on the day of battle |
| 78:12 |
In the sight of their fathersancestors he wroughtworked marvels in the land of Egypt in the fields of Zo′anZoan |
| 78:14 |
In the daytime he led them with a cloud and all the night long with a fiery light |
| 78:15 |
He cleftsplit rocks open in the wilderness and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep |
| 78:20 |
HeEven smotethough he struck the rock so that water gushed out and streamstorrents overflowed Cancan he also give bread or provide meat for his people |
| 78:21 |
Therefore when the Lord heard he was full of wrathrage; a fire was kindled against Jacob his anger mounted against Israel; |
| 78:24 |
and he rained down uponon them manna to eat and gave them the grain of heaven |
| 78:25 |
ManMortals ate of the bread of the angels; he sent them food in abundance |
| 78:28 |
he let them fall inwithin the midst of their camp all around their habitationsdwellings |
| 78:30 |
But before they had satedsatisfied their craving while the food was still in their mouths |
| 78:31 |
the anger of God rose against them and he slewkilled the strongest of them and laid low the pickedflower men of Israel |
| 78:32 |
In spite of all this they still sinned; despite his wonders they did not believe in his wonders |
| 78:34 |
When he slewkilled them they sought for him; they repented and sought God earnestly |
| 78:38 |
Yet he being compassionate forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them; often he restrained his anger often and did not stir up all his wrath |
| 78:39 |
He remembered that they were but flesh a wind that passes and comesdoes not come again |
| 78:41 |
They tested himGod again and again and provoked the Holy One of Israel |
| 78:43 |
when he wroughtdisplayed his signs in Egypt and his miracles in the fields of Zo′anZoan |
| 78:51 |
He smotestruck all the firstfirstborn born in Egypt the first issue of their strength in the tents of Ham |
| 78:52 |
Then he led forthout his people like sheep and guided them in the wilderness like a flock |
| 78:54 |
And he brought them to his holy landhill to the mountain whichthat his right hand had won |
| 78:56 |
Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God and rebelled against him They did not observe his testimoniesdecrees |
| 78:57 |
but turned away and actedwere treacherouslyfaithless like their fathersancestors; they twisted like a deceitfultreacherous bow |
| 78:58 |
For they provoked him to anger with their high places; they moved him to jealousy with their graven imagesidols |
| 78:60 |
He forsookabandoned his dwelling at Shiloh the tent where he dwelt among menmortals |
| 78:62 |
He gave his people over to the sword and vented his wrath on his heritage |
| 78:63 |
Fire devoured their young men and their maidensgirls had no marriage song |
| 78:65 |
Then the Lord awoke as from sleep like a strongwarrior man shouting because of wine |
| 78:66 |
AndHe he put his adversaries to rout; he put them to everlasting shamedisgrace |
| 78:67 |
He rejected the tent of Joseph he did not choose the tribe of E′phraimEphraim; |
| 78:69 |
He built his sanctuary like the high heavens like the earth which he has founded for everforever |
| 78:70 |
He chose David his servant David and took him from the sheepfolds; |
| 78:71 |
from tending the nursing ewes that had young he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob his people Jacob of Israel his inheritance |
| 78:72 |
With upright heart he tended them and guided them with skilfulskillful hand |
| 79:1 |
O God the heathennations have come into thyyour inheritance; they have defiled thyyour holy temple; they have laid Jerusalem in ruins |
| 79:2 |
They have given the bodies of thyyour servants to the birds of the air for food the flesh of thyyour saintsfaithful to the beastswild animals of the earth |
| 79:3 |
They have poured out their blood like water roundall aboutaround Jerusalem and there was noneno one to bury them |
| 79:4 |
We have become a taunt to our neighbors mocked and derided by those roundaround about us |
| 79:5 |
How long O Lord WiltWill thouyou be angry forforever ever Will thyyour jealous wrath burn like fire |
| 79:6 |
Pour out thyyour anger on the nations that do not know theeyou and on the kingdoms that do not call on thyyour name |
| 79:8 |
Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathersancestors; let thyyour compassion come speedily to meet us for we are brought very low |
| 79:9 |
Help us O God of our salvation for the glory of thyyour name; deliver us and forgive our sins for thyyour names sake |
| 79:10 |
Why should the nations say Where is their God Let the avenging of the outpoured blood of thyyour servants be known among the nations before our eyes |
| 79:11 |
Let the groans of the prisoners come before theeyou; according to thyyour great power preserve those doomed to die |
| 79:12 |
Return sevenfold into the bosom of our neighbors the taunts with which they have taunted theeyou O Lord |
| 79:13 |
Then we thyyour people the flock of thyyour pasture will give thanks to theeyou for everforever; from generation to generation we will recount thyyour praise |
| 80:1 |
Give ear O Shepherd of Israel thouyou who leadestlead Joseph like a flock ThouYou who artare enthroned upon the cherubim shine forth |

ThouYou dost make us the scorn of our neighbors; and our enemies laugh among themselves |
| 80:7 |
Restore us O God of hosts; let thyyour face shine that we may be saved |
| 80:8 |
ThouYou didstbrought bring a vine out of Egypt; thouyou didstdrove drive out the nations and plantplanted it |
| 80:9 |
ThouYou didstcleared clear the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land |
| 80:12 |
Why then hasthave thouyou broken down its walls so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit |
| 80:14 |
Turn again O God of hosts; Looklook down from heaven and see; have regard for this vine |

But let thyyour hand be upon the manone ofat thyyour right hand the sonone of man whom thouyou hast made strong for thyselfyourself |
| 80:18 |
Then we will never turn back from theeyou; give us life and we will call on thyyour name |
