PSALMS 78:1-20
78:1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my 
mouth.
78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
78:4 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.
78:5 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:
78:6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which 
should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, 
but keep his commandments:
78:8 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.
78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in 
the day of battle.
78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
78:11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of 
Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the 
waters to stand as an heap.
78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a 
light of fire.
78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the 
great depths.
78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down 
like rivers.
78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the 
wilderness.
78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the 
wilderness?
78:20 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?
