시편 78편 NASB
- 1 Listen O my people to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
- 2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old
- 3 Which we have heard and known And our fathers have told us.
- 4 We will not conceal them from their children But tell to the generation to come the praises of the LORD And His strength and His wondrous works that He has done.
- 5 For He established a testimony in Jacob And appointed a law in Israel Which He commanded our fathers That they should teach them to their children
- 6 That the generation to come might know even the children yet to be born That they may arise and tell them to their children
- 7 That they should put their confidence in God And not forget the works of God But keep His commandments
- 8 And not be like their fathers A stubborn and rebellious generation A generation that did not prepare its heart And whose spirit was not faithful to God.
- 9 The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows Yet they turned back in the day of battle.
- 10 They did not keep the covenant of God And refused to walk in His law;
- 11 They forgot His deeds And His miracles that He had shown them.
- 12 He wrought wonders before 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 stand up like a heap.
- 14 Then He led them with the cloud by day And all the night with a light of fire.
- 15 He split the rocks in the wilderness And gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths.
- 16 He brought forth streams also from the rock And caused waters to run down like rivers.
- 17 Yet they still continued to sin against Him To rebel against the Most High in the desert.
- 18 And in their heart they put God to the test By asking food according to their desire.
- 19 Then they spoke against God; They said "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
- 20 "Behold He struck the rock so that waters gushed out And streams were overflowing; Can He give bread also? Will He provide meat for His people?"
- 21 Therefore the LORD heard and was full of wrath; And a fire was kindled against Jacob And anger also mounted against Israel
- 22 Because they did not believe in God And did not trust in His salvation.
- 23 Yet He commanded the clouds above And opened the doors of heaven;
- 24 He rained down manna upon them to eat And gave them food from heaven.
- 25 Man did eat the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.
- 26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens And by His power He directed the south wind.
- 27 When He rained meat upon them like the dust Even winged fowl like the sand of the seas
- 28 Then He let them fall in the midst of their camp Round about their dwellings.
- 29 So they ate and were well filled And their desire He gave to them.
- 30 Before they had satisfied their desire While their food was in their mouths
- 31 The anger of God rose against them And killed some of their stoutest ones And subdued the choice men of Israel.
- 32 In spite of all this they still sinned And did not believe in His wonderful works.
- 33 So He brought their days to an end in futility And their years in sudden terror.
- 34 When He killed them then they sought Him And returned and searched diligently for God;
- 35 And they remembered that God was their rock And the Most High God their Redeemer.
- 36 But they deceived Him with their mouth And lied to Him with their tongue.
- 37 For their heart was not steadfast toward Him Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
- 38 But He being compassionate forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them; And often He restrained His anger And did not arouse all His wrath.
- 39 Thus He remembered that they were but flesh A wind that passes and does not return.
- 40 How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness And grieved Him in the desert!
- 41 Again and again they tempted God And pained the Holy One of Israel.
- 42 They did not remember His power The day when He redeemed them from the adversary
- 43 When He performed His signs in Egypt And His marvels in the field of Zoan
- 44 And turned their rivers to blood And their streams they could not drink.
- 45 He sent among them swarms of flies which devoured them And frogs which destroyed them.
- 46 He gave also their crops to the grasshopper And the product of their labor to the locust.
- 47 He destroyed their vines with hailstones And their sycamore trees with frost.
- 48 He gave over their cattle also to the hailstones And their herds to bolts of lightning.
- 49 He sent upon them His burning anger Fury and indignation and trouble A band of destroying angels.
- 50 He leveled a path for His anger; He did not spare their soul from death But gave over their life to the plague
- 51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt The first issue of their virility in the tents of Ham.
- 52 But He led forth His own people like sheep And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
- 53 He led them safely so that they did not fear; But the sea engulfed their enemies.
- 54 So He brought them to His holy land To this hill country which His right hand had gained.
- 55 He also drove out the nations before them And apportioned them for an inheritance by measurement And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
- 56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God And did not keep His testimonies
- 57 But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers; They turned aside like a treacherous bow.
- 58 For they provoked Him with their high places And aroused His jealousy with their graven images.
- 59 When God heard He was filled with wrath And greatly abhorred Israel;
- 60 So that He abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh The tent which He had pitched among men
- 61 And gave up His strength to captivity And His glory into the hand of the adversary.
- 62 He also delivered His people to the sword And was filled with wrath at His inheritance.
- 63 Fire devoured His young men And His virgins had no wedding songs.
- 64 His priests fell by the sword And His widows could not weep.
- 65 Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep Like a warrior overcome by wine.
- 66 He drove His adversaries backward; He put on them an everlasting reproach.
- 67 He also rejected the tent of Joseph And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim
- 68 But chose the tribe of Judah Mount Zion which He loved.
- 69 And He built His sanctuary like the heights Like the earth which He has founded forever.
- 70 He also chose David His servant And took him from the sheepfolds;
- 71 From the care of the ewes with suckling lambs He brought him To shepherd Jacob His people And Israel His inheritance.
- 72 So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart And guided them with his skillful hands.
