Psalms 78
1 A maschil of Asaph. Hear my teaching, my people, listen to the words of my mouth.
A poem of Asaph give ear to! O people my instruction my incline ear your to [the] words of mouth my.
2 I will open my mouth in parables; I will sing about hidden things about the past.
I will open in a parable mouth my I will pour forth riddles from antiquity.
3 These are things that we have heard and learned, things that our ancestors have told us.
Which we have heard and we have known them and ancestors our they have recounted to us.
4 We will not keep them from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the praiseworthy deeds of Yahweh, his strength, and the wonders that he has done.
Not we will hide - from descendants their to a generation later recounting [the] praises of Yahweh and might his and wonders his which he has done.
5 For he established covenant decrees in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel. He commanded our ancestors that they were to teach them to their children.
And he established a testimony - in Jacob and a law he appointed in Israel which he commanded ancestors our to make known them to children their.
6 He commanded this so that the generation to come might know his decrees, the children not yet born, who should tell them in turn to their own children.
So that they may know - a generation later children [who] they will be born they will arise and may they recount [them] to children their.
7 Then they would place their hope in God and not forget his deeds but keep his commandments.
So they may put in God confidence their and not they will forget [the] deeds of God and commandments his they will observe.
8 Then they would not be like their ancestors, who were a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose hearts were not right, and whose spirits were not committed and faithful to God.
And not they will be - like ancestors their a generation stubborn and rebellious a generation [which] not it directed heart its and [which] not it was faithful with God spirit its.
9 The Ephraimites were armed with bows, but they turned back on the day of battle.
[the] people of Ephraim [were] equipped of shooters of a bow they turned back on [the] day of battle.
10 They did not keep the covenant with God, and they refused to obey his law.
Not they kept [the] covenant of God and in law his they refused to walk.
11 They forgot his deeds, the wonderful things that he had shown them.
And they forgot deeds his and wonders his which he had shown them.
12 They forgot the marvelous things he did in the sight of their ancestors in the land of Egypt, in the land of Zoan.
Before ancestors their he did wonder[s] in [the] land of Egypt [the] region of Zoan.
13 He divided the sea and led them across it; he made the waters to stand like walls.
He split open [the] sea and he brought through them and he made to stand up [the] waters like a heap.
14 In the daytime he led them with a cloud and all the night with the light of fire.
And he guided them by the cloud by day and all the night by [the] light of a fire.
15 He split the rocks in the wilderness, and he gave them water abundantly, enough to fill the depths of the sea.
He split open rocks in the wilderness and he gave [them] to drink like deeps much.
16 He made streams flow out of the rock and made the water flow like rivers.
And he brought out streams from a rock and he made to flow down like rivers water.
17 Yet they continued to sin against him, rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
And they repeated again to sin to him by rebelling against [the] Most High in the dry region.
18 They challenged God in their hearts by asking for food to satisfy their appetites.
And they put to [the] test God in heart their by requesting food for selves their.
19 They spoke against God; they said, “Can God really lay out a table for us in the wilderness?
And they spoke against God they said ¿ is he able God to arrange a table in the wilderness.
20 See, when he struck the rock, waters gushed out and streams overflowed. But can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”
There! he struck a rock - and they flowed out waters and torrents they overflowed ¿ also food is he able to give or? will he prepare meat for people his.
21 When Yahweh heard this, he was angry; so his fire burned against Jacob, and his anger attacked Israel,
Therefore - he heard Yahweh and he was furious and fire it was kindled in Jacob and also anger it went up in Israel.
22 because they did not believe in God and did not trust in his salvation.
For not they trusted in God and not they trusted in salvation his.
23 Yet he commanded the skies above and opened the doors of the sky.
And he commanded clouds above and [the] doors of heaven he opened.
24 He rained down manna for them to eat, and gave them the grain from heaven.
And he rained down on them manna to eat and [the] grain of heaven he gave to them.
25 People ate the bread of angels. He sent them food in abundance.
Bread of mighty [ones] he ate everyone food he sent to them to satiety.
26 He caused the east wind to blow in the sky, and by his power he guided the south wind.
He led out an east wind in the heavens and he led forth by strength his a south wind.
27 He rained down meat on them like dust, birds as numerous as the sands of the sea.
And he rained down on them like dust meat and like [the] sand of [the] seas bird[s] of wing.
28 They fell in the middle of their camp, all around their tents.
And he made [them] fall in [the] midst of camp his around dwelling his.
29 So they ate and were full. He gave them what they craved.
And they ate and they were satisfied exceedingly and desire their he brought to them.
30 But they had not yet filled up; their food was still in their mouths.
Not they had become estranged from desire their still food their [was] in mouth their.
31 Then God's anger attacked them and killed the strongest of them. He brought down the young men of Israel.
And [the] anger of God - it went up in them and he killed among vigorous ones their and [the] young men of Israel he made bow down.
32 Despite this, they continued to sin and did not believe his wonderful deeds.
In all this they sinned again and not they believed in wonders his.
33 Therefore God cut short their days; their years were filled with terror.
And he brought to an end in futility days their and years their in sudden terror.
34 Whenever God afflicted them, they would start to seek him, and they would return and look earnestly for him.
If he killed them and they sought him and they returned and they sought earnestly God.
35 They would call to mind that God was their rock and that the Most High God was their rescuer.
And they remembered that God [was] rock their and God Most High [was] redeemer their.
36 But they would flatter him with their mouth and lie to him with their words.
And they deceived him with mouth their and with tongue their they lied to him.
37 For their hearts were not firmly fixed on him, and they were not faithful to his covenant.
And heart their not [was] steadfast with him and not they were faithful in covenant his.
38 Yet he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. Yes, many times he held back his anger and did not stir up all his wrath.
And he [was] compassionate - he atoned for iniquity and not he destroyed [them] and he increased to turn back anger his and not he stirred up all rage his.
39 He called to mind that they were made of flesh, a wind that passes away and does not return.
And he remembered that [were] flesh they a wind [which] goes and not it returns.
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the barren regions!
How often! they rebelled against him in the wilderness they grieved him in a desolate place.
41 Again and again they challenged God and offended the Holy One of Israel.
And they returned and they put to [the] test God and [the] holy [one] of Israel they pained.
42 They did not think about his power, how he had rescued them from the enemy
Not they remembered hand his [the] day when he ransomed them from [the] opponent.
43 when he performed his terrifying signs in Egypt and his wonders in the region of Zoan.
When he performed in Egypt signs his and wonders his in [the] region of Zoan.
44 He turned the Egyptians' rivers to blood so that they could not drink from their streams.
And he turned into blood canals their and streams their not they drank!
45 He sent swarms of flies that devoured them and frogs that overran their land.
He sent among them a swarm of flies and it devoured them and frog[s] and it ruined them.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper and their labor to the locust.
And he gave to the locust produce their and [the] result of toil their to the locust.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore trees with more hail.
He killed with hail vine[s] their and sycamore-fig trees their with a flood.
48 He rained hail on their cattle and hurled lightning bolts at their livestock.
And he delivered up to hail cattle their and livestock their to lightning bolts.
49 The fierceness of his anger lashed out against them. He sent wrath, fury, and trouble like agents who bring disaster.
He sent on them - [the] burning of anger his fury and indignation and trouble a band of angels of calamities.
50 He leveled a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death but gave them over to the plague.
He made level a path for anger his not he kept back from death life their and life their to the pestilence he delivered up.
51 He killed all the firstborn in Egypt, the firstborn of their strength in the tents of Ham.
And he struck down every firstborn in Egypt [the] beginning of manly vigor in [the] tents of Ham.
52 He led his own people out like sheep and guided them through the wilderness like a flock.
And he led out like sheep people his and he led them like flock in the wilderness.
53 He led them secure and unafraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
And he guided them to security and not they were afraid and enemies their it covered the sea.
54 Then he brought them to the border of his holy land, to this mountain that his right hand acquired.
And he brought them to [the] territory of holiness his [the] mountain which it had acquired right [hand] his.
55 He drove out the nations from before them and assigned them their inheritance. He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
And he drove out from before them - nations and he made fall them by a measuring-line of inheritance and he caused to dwell in tents their [the] tribes of Israel.
56 Yet they challenged and defied the Most High God and did not keep his solemn commands.
And they put to [the] test and they rebelled against God Most High and testimonies his not they kept.
57 They were unfaithful and acted treacherously like their fathers; they were as undependable as a faulty bow.
And they turned back and they acted treacherously like ancestors their they changed like a bow of deceit.
58 For they made him angry with their high places and provoked him to jealous anger with their idols.
And they provoked to anger him by high places their and by idols their they made jealous him.
59 When God heard this, he was angry and completely rejected Israel.
He heard God and he was furious and he rejected exceedingly Israel.
60 He abandoned the sanctuary of Shiloh, the tent where he had lived among people.
And he abandoned [the] tabernacle of Shiloh [the] tent [which] he had pitched among humankind.
61 He allowed his strength to be captured and gave his glory into the enemy's hand.
And he gave to captivity strength his and splendor his in [the] hand of [the] opponent.
62 He handed his people over to the sword, and he was angry with his heritage.
And he delivered up to the sword people his and with inheritance his he was furious.
63 Fire devoured their young men, and their young women had no wedding songs.
Young men its it consumed fire and young women its not they were praised.
64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows could not weep.
Priests its by the sword they fell and widows its not they wept.
65 Then the Lord awakened as one from sleep, like a warrior who shouts because of wine.
And he awoke like a sleeper - [the] Lord like a warrior overcome from wine.
66 He drove his adversaries back; he put them to everlasting shame.
And he struck opponents his backwards a reproach of perpetuity he gave to them.
67 He rejected the tent of Joseph, and he did not chose the tribe of Ephraim.
And he rejected [the] tent of Joseph and [the] tribe of Ephraim not he chose.
68 He chose the tribe of Judah and Mount Zion that he loved.
And he chose [the] tribe of Judah [the] mountain of Zion which he loved.
69 He built his sanctuary like the heavens, like the earth that he has established forever.
And he built like [the] high [things] sanctuary his like [the] earth [which] he founded it for ever.

72 David shepherded them with the integrity of his heart, and he guided them with the skill of his hands.
And he shepherded them according to [the] integrity of heart his and with [the] skill of hands his he led them.
