NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Psalms 78

A  aMaskil of Asaph.

1

 aListenh238, O my peopleh5971a, to my  1instructionh8451;  bInclineh5186 your earsh241 to the wordsh561 of my mouthh6310.

2

I will  aopenh6605a my mouthh6310 in a parableh4912; I will utterh5042  bdarkh2420 sayingsh2420 of oldh6924a,

3

Whichh834 we have heardh8085 and knownh3045, And  aour fathersh1 have toldh5608 us.

4

We will  anot concealh3582 them from their childrenh1121, But  btellh5608 to the generationh1755 to comeh314 the praisesh8416 of the LORDh3068, And His strengthh5807 and His  cwondroush6381 worksh6381 that He has doneh6213a.

5

For He establishedh6965 a  atestimonyh5715 in Jacobh3290 And appointedh7760 a  blawh8451 in Israelh3478, Whichh834 He  ccommandedh6680 our fathersh1 That they should  1 dteachh3045 them to their childrenh1121,

6

 aThat the generationh1755 to comeh314 might knowh3045, even  bthe childrenh1121 yet to be bornh3205, That they may ariseh6965 and  ctellh5608 them to their childrenh1121,

7

That they should puth7760 their confidenceh3689 in Godh430 And  anot forgeth7911 the worksh4611 of Godh410, But  bkeeph5341 His commandmentsh4687,

8

And  anot be like their fathersh1, A  bstubbornh5637 and rebellioush4784 generationh1755, A generationh1755 that  cdid not  1prepareh3559 its hearth3820 And whose spirith7307 was not  dfaithfulh539 to Godh410.

9

The sonsh1121 of Ephraimh669  1were  aarchersh7411a equippedh5401b with bowsh7198, Yet  bthey turnedh2015 backh2015 in the dayh3117 of battleh7128.

10

They  adid not keeph8104 the covenanth1285 of Godh430 And refusedh3985 to  bwalkh1980 in His lawh8451;

11

They  aforgoth7911 His deedsh5949 And His  1miraclesh6381 that He had shownh7200 them.

12

 aHe wroughth6213a wondersh6382 beforeh5048 their fathersh1 In the landh776 of Egypth4714, in the  bfieldh7704 of Zoanh6814.

13

He  adividedh1234 the seah3220 and caused them to passh5674a throughh5674a, And He made the watersh4325 standh5324  bup likeh3644 a heaph5067a.

14

Then He ledh5148 them with the cloudh6051 by  adayh3119 And allh3605 the nighth3915 with a  blighth216 of fireh784.

15

He  asplith1234 the rocksh6697 in the wildernessh4057b And gaveh8248 them abundanth7227a drinkh8248 like the oceanh8415 depthsh8415.

16

He  abroughth3318 forthh3318 streamsh5140 also from the rockh5553 And caused watersh4325 to runh3381 downh3381 like riversh5104.

17

Yet they stillh5750 continuedh3254 to sinh2398 against Him, To  arebelh4784 against the Mosth5945b Highh5945b in the deserth6723.

18

And in their hearth3824 they  aputh5254 Godh410 to the testh5254 By askingh7592  bfoodh3978 according to their desireh5315.

19

Then they spokeh1696 against Godh430; They saidh559, " aCanh3201 Godh410 prepareh6186a a tableh7979 in the wildernessh4057b?

20

"Beholdh2005, He  astruckh5221 the rockh6697 so that watersh4325 gushedh2100 out, And streamsh5158a were overflowingh7857; Canh3201 He giveh5414 breadh3899 alsoh1571? Will He provideh3559  1 bmeath7607 for His peopleh5971a?"

21

Thereforeh3651 the LORDh3068 heardh8085 and  1was  afullh5674b of wrathh5674b; And a fireh784 was kindledh8026b against Jacobh3290 And angerh639 alsoh1571 mountedh5927 against Israelh3478,

22

Becauseh3588 they  adid not believeh539 in Godh430 And did not trusth982 in His salvationh3444.

23

Yet He commandedh6680 the cloudsh7834 aboveh4480h4605 And  aopenedh6605a the doorsh1817 of heavenh8064;

24

He  arainedh4305 downh4305 mannah4478a upon them to eath398 And gaveh5414 them  1 bfoodh1715 from heavenh8064.

25

Manh376 did eath398 the breadh3899 of  1angelsh47; He senth7971 them  2foodh6720  3 ain abundanceh7648.

26

He  acaused the easth6921 windh6921 to blowh5265 in the heavensh8064 And by His  1powerh5797 He directedh5090a the southh8486 windh8486.

27

When He rainedh4305  1meath7607 upon them like the dusth6083, Even  awingedh3671 fowlh5775 like the sandh2344 of the seash3220,

28

Then He let them fallh5307 in the midsth7130 of  1their camph4264, Roundh5439 abouth5439 their dwellingsh4908.

29

So they  aateh398 and were wellh3966 filledh7646, And their desireh8378 He gaveh935 to them.

30

 1Before they had satisfiedh2114a their desireh8378,  aWhileh5750 their foodh400 was in their mouthsh6310,

31

The  aangerh639 of Godh430 roseh5927 against them And killedh2026  1some of their  bstoutesth4924a ones, And  2subduedh3766 the choiceh970 menh977 of Israelh3478.

32

In spite of allh3605 thish384 they  astillh5750 sinnedh2398 And  bdid not believeh539 in His wonderfulh6381 worksh6381.

33

So He broughth3615  atheir daysh3117 to an endh3615 in  1futilityh1892 And their yearsh8141 in suddenh928 terrorh928.

34

Whenh518 He killedh2026 them, then they  asoughth1875 Him, And returnedh7725 and searchedh7836  bdiligentlyh7836 for Godh410;

35

And they rememberedh2142 that Godh430 was their  arockh6697, And the Mosth5945b Highh5945b Godh410 their  bRedeemerh1350.

36

But they  adeceivedh6601b Him with their mouthh6310 And  bliedh3576 to Him with their tongueh3956.

37

For their hearth3820 was not  asteadfasth3559 towardh5973 Him, Norh3808 were they faithfulh539 in His covenanth1285.

38

But He, being  acompassionateh7349,  1 bforgaveh3722a their iniquityh5771 and did not destroyh7843 them; And oftenh7235a He  2 crestrainedh7725 His angerh639 And did not arouseh5782 allh3605 His wrathh2534.

39

Thus  aHe rememberedh2142 that they were but  bfleshh1320, A  1 cwindh7307 that passesh1980 and does not returnh7725.

40

Howh4100 oftenh4100 they  arebelledh4784 against Him in the wildernessh4057b And  bgrievedh6087a Him in the  cdeserth3452!

41

Againh7725 and again they  1 atemptedh5254 Godh410, And painedh8428 the  bHolyh6918 Oneh6918 of Israelh3478.

42

They  adid not rememberh2142  bHis  1powerh3027, The dayh3117 whenh834 He  credeemedh6299 them from the adversaryh6862c,

43

Whenh834 He performedh7760 His  asignsh226 in Egypth4714 And His  bmarvelsh4159 in the fieldh7704 of Zoanh6814,

44

And  aturnedh2015 their riversh2975 to bloodh1818, And their streamsh5140, they could not drinkh8354.

45

He senth7971 among them swarmsh6157 of  afliesh6157 which devouredh398 them, And  bfrogsh6854 which destroyedh7843 them.

46

He gaveh5414 also their cropsh2981 to the  agrasshopperh2625 And the producth3018 of their laborh3018 to the  blocusth697.

47

He  1destroyedh2026 their vinesh1612 with  ahailstonesh1259 And their sycamoreh8256 treesh8256 with frosth2602.

48

He gaveh5462 overh5462 their  acattleh1165 also to the hailstonesh1259 And their herdsh4735 to boltsh7565 of lightningh7565.

49

He  asenth7971 upon them His burningh2740 angerh639, Furyh5678 and indignationh2195 and troubleh6869a,  1A bandh4917 of destroyingh7451a angelsh4397.

50

He leveledh6424 a pathh5410a for His angerh639; He did not spareh2820 their soulh5315 from deathh4194, But  agaveh5462 overh5462 their lifeh2421b to the plagueh1698,

51

And  asmoteh5221 allh3605 the firstbornh1060 in Egypth4714, The  bfirsth7225 issue of their virilityh202 in the tentsh168 of  cHamh2526.

52

But He  aledh5265 forthh5265 His own peopleh5971a like sheeph6629 And guidedh5090a them in the wildernessh4057b  blike a flockh5739;

53

He ledh5148 them  asafelyh983, so that they did not fearh6342; But  bthe seah3220 engulfedh3680 their enemiesh340.

54

So  aHe broughth935 them to His holyh6944  1landh1366, To thish2088  2 bhillh2022 countryh2022  cwhich His righth3225 handh3225 had gainedh7069.

55

He also  adroveh1644 out the nationsh1471 beforeh4480h6440 them And  bapportionedh5307 them for an inheritanceh5159 by measurementh2256a, And made the tribesh7626 of Israelh3478 dwellh7931 in their tentsh168.

56

Yet they  1 atemptedh5254 and  brebelledh4784 againsth854 the Mosth5945b Highh5945b Godh430 And did not keeph8104 His testimoniesh5713b,

57

But turnedh5472 backh5472 and  aactedh898 treacherouslyh898 like their fathersh1; They  bturnedh2015 asideh2015 like a treacheroush7423a bowh7198.

58

For they  aprovokedh3707 Him with their  bhighh1116 placesh1116 And  caroused His jealousyh7065 with their  dgravenh6456 imagesh6456.

59

When Godh430 heardh8085, He  1was filledh5674b with  awrathh5674b And greatlyh3966  babhorredh3988a Israelh3478;

60

So that He  aabandonedh5203 the  bdwellingh4908 placeh4908 at Shilohh7887, The tenth168  1which He had pitchedh7931 among menh120,

61

And gaveh5414 up His  astrengthh5797 to captivityh7628b And His gloryh8597  binto the handh3027 of the adversaryh6862c.

62

He also  adeliveredh5462 His peopleh5971a to the swordh2719, And  1was filledh5674b with wrathh5674b at His inheritanceh5159.

63

 aFireh784 devouredh398  1His youngh970 menh970, And  1His  bvirginsh1330 had noh3808 weddingh1984b songsh1984b.

64

 1His  apriestsh3548 fellh5307 by the swordh2719, And  1His  bwidowsh490 could not weeph1058.

65

Then the Lordh136  aawokeh3364 as if from sleeph3463, Like a  bwarriorh1368  1overcomeh7320b by wineh3196.

66

He  1 adroveh5221 His adversariesh6862c backwardh268; He puth5414 on them an everlastingh5769 reproachh2781.

67

He also  arejectedh3988a the tenth168 of Josephh3130, And did not chooseh977 the tribeh7626 of Ephraimh669,

68

But choseh977 the tribeh7626 of Judahh3063, Mounth2022  aZionh6726 whichh834 He lovedh157.

69

And He  abuilth1129 His sanctuaryh4720 likeh3644 the heightsh7311, Like the earthh776 which He has foundedh3245 foreverh5769.

70

He also  achoseh977 Davidh1732 His servanth5650 And tookh3947 him from the sheepfoldsh6629h4356;

71

From  1 athe careh310 of the  2ewesh5763  bwith sucklingh5763 lambsh5763 He broughth935 him To  cshepherdh7462a Jacobh3290 His peopleh5971a, And Israelh3478  dHis inheritanceh5159.

72

So he shepherdedh7462a them according to the  aintegrityh8537 of his hearth3824, And guidedh5148 them with his skillfulh8394 handsh3709.
