- Psalms 78:10–37Rank 6 from verse 57
10They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
11And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
12Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
14In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
16He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
18And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
19Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20Behold, 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?
21Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
22Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
23Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
24And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.
26He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
27He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
28And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
29So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
30They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
31The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
32For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
33Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.
35And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
36Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
10They kept not the couenant of God: and refused to walke in his Law:
11And forgat his workes: and his wonders that he had shewed them.
12Marueilous things did he in the sight of their fathers: in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13*Hee diuided the Sea, and caused them to passe through: and he made the waters to stand as an heape.
14*In the day time also he led them with a cloud: and all the night with a light of fire.
15*Hee claue the rockes in the wildernes: and gaue them drinke as out of the great depthes.
16Hee brought streames also out of the rocke, and caused waters to runne downe like riuers.
17And they sinned yet more against him: by prouoking the most High in the wildernes.
18And 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 wildernes?
20*Behold, he smote the rocke, that the waters gushed out, & the streames ouerflowed; can he giue bread also? can he prouide flesh for his people?
21Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth, so a fire was kindled against Iacob: and anger also came vp against Israel.
22Because they beleeued not in God: and trusted not in his saluation:
23Though he had commanded the cloudes from aboue: and opened the doores of heauen:
24*And had rained downe Manna vpon them to eate, and had giuen them of the corne of heauen.
25*‖Man did eate Angels food: hee sent them meat to the full.
26†He caused an East wind to blow in the heauen: and by his power hee brought in the South wind.
27†He rained flesh also vpon them as dust: and feathered soules like as the sand of the sea.
28And hee let it fall in the midst of their campe, round about their habitations.
29So they did eate, & were well filled: for he gaue them their owne desire.
30*They were not estranged from their lust: but while their meate was yet in their mouthes,
31†‖The wrath of God came vpon them, and slew the fattest of them: and smote downe the chosen men of Israel.
32For all this they sinned still: and beleeued not for his wondrous works.
33Therefore their dayes did he consume in vanitie, and their yeeres in trouble.
34When hee slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and inquired early after God.
35And they remembred that God was their rocke: and the high God, their redeemer.
36Neuerthelesse they did flatter him with their mouth: and they lyed vnto him with their tongues.
37For their heart was not right with him: neither were they stedfast in his couenant.
