78.27
- And our fathers have told us,
- 4We will not hide from their children,
- Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,
- And His strength, and His wondrous works that He hath done.
- 5For 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;
- 6That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born;
- Who should arise and tell them to their children,
- 7That they might put their confidence in God,
- And not forget the works of God,
- But keep His commandments;
- 8And 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.
- 9The children of Ephraim were as archers handling the bow,
- That turned back in the day of battle.
- 10They kept not the covenant of God,
- And refused to walk in His law;
- 11And they forgot His doings,
- And His wondrous works that He had shown them.
- 12Marvellous things did He in the sight of their fathers,
- In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
- 13He cleaved the sea, and caused them to pass through;
- And He made the waters to stand as a heap.
- 14By day also He led them with a cloud,
- And all the night with a light of fire.
- 15He cleaved rocks in the wilderness,
- And gave them drink abundantly as out of the great deep.
- 16He brought streams also out of the rock,
- And caused waters to run down like rivers.
- 17Yet went they on still to sin against Him,
- To rebel against the Most High in the desert.
- 18And they tried God in their heart
- By asking food for their craving.
- 19Yea, they spoke against God;
- They said 'Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
- 20Behold, He smote the rock, that waters gushed out,
- And streams overflowed;
- Can He give bread also?
- Or will He provide flesh for His people?'
- 21Therefore the Lord heard, and was wroth;
- And a fire was kindled against Jacob,
- And anger also went up against Israel;
- 22Because they believed not in God,
- And trusted not in His salvation.
- 23And He commanded the skies above,
- And opened the doors of heaven;
- 24And He caused manna to rain upon them for food,
- And gave them of the corn of heaven.
- 25Man did eat the bread of the mighty;
- He sent them provisions to the full.
- 26He caused the east wind to set forth in heaven;
- And by His power He brought on the south wind.
- 27He caused flesh also to rain upon them as the dust,
