\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-Maschil|Maschil]] of Asaph.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-1|1]] Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-2|2]] I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-3|3]] Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-4|4]] We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-5|5]] For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-6|6]] That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-7|7]] That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-8|8]] And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-9|9]] The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-10|10]] They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-11|11]] And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-12|12]] Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-13|13]] He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-14|14]] In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-15|15]] He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-16|16]] He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-17|17]] And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-18|18]] And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-19|19]] Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-20|20]] Behold, 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?
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-21|21]] Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-22|22]] Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-23|23]] Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-24|24]] And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-25|25]] Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-26|26]] He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-27|27]] He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-28|28]] And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-29|29]] So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-30|30]] They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-31|31]] The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-32|32]] For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-33|33]] Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-34|34]] When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-35|35]] And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-36|36]] Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-37|37]] For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-38|38]] But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-39|39]] For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-40|40]] How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-41|41]] Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-42|42]] They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-43|43]] How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-44|44]] And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-45|45]] He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-46|46]] He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-47|47]] He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-48|48]] He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-49|49]] He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-50|50]] He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-51|51]] And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-52|52]] But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-53|53]] And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-54|54]] And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-55|55]] He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-56|56]] Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-57|57]] But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-58|58]] For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-59|59]] When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-60|60]] So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-61|61]] And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-62|62]] He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-63|63]] The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-64|64]] Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-65|65]] Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-66|66]] And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-67|67]] Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-68|68]] But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-69|69]] And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-70|70]] He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-71|71]] From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
\\ [[commentaar:psalmen78-72|72]] So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
