Pss 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.

וי֤קם עד֨ות׀ בֽיעק֗ב ותורה֘ ש֤ם בישר֫א֥ל אש֣ר צ֭וה את־אבות֑ינו ל֝הודיע֗ם לבניהֽם׃

Pss 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:

למ֤ען ידע֨ו׀ ד֣ור א֭חרון בנ֣ים יול֑דו י֝ק֗מו וֽיספר֥ו לבניהֽם׃

Pss 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:

ויש֥ימו בֽאלה֗ים כ֫סל֥ם ול֣א י֭שכחו מֽעללי־א֑ל ומצות֥יו ינצֽרו׃

Pss 78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

ול֤א יהי֨ו׀ כאבות֗ם דור֘ סור֪ר ומ֫ר֥ה ד֭ור לא־הכ֣ין לב֑ו ולא־נאמנ֖ה את־א֣ל רוחֽו׃

Pss 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.

בֽני־אפר֗ים נושק֥י רומי־ק֑שת ה֝פכ֗ו בי֣ום קרֽב׃

Pss 78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

ל֣א ש֭מרו בר֣ית אלה֑ים ו֝בתורת֗ו מאנ֥ו ללֽכת׃

Pss 78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

וישכח֥ו עלילות֑יו ו֝נפלאות֗יו אש֣ר הראֽם׃

Pss 78:11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.

נ֣גד א֭בותם ע֣שה פ֑לא בא֖רץ מצר֣ים שדה־צֽען׃

Pss 78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

ב֣קע י֭ם ויֽעביר֑ם וֽיצב־מ֥ים כמו־נֽד׃

Pss 78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

וינח֣ם בענ֣ן יומ֑ם וכל־ה֝ל֗ילה בא֣ור אֽש׃

Pss 78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

יבק֣ע צ֭רים במדב֑ר ו֝י֗שק כתהמ֥ות רבֽה׃

Pss 78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.

ויוצ֣א נוזל֣ים מס֑לע וי֖ורד כנהר֣ות מֽים׃

Pss 78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

ויוס֣יפו ע֖וד לחטא־ל֑ו לֽמר֥ות ע֝לי֗ון בציֽה׃

Pss 78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

וינסו־א֥ל בלבב֑ם לֽשאל־א֥כל לנפשֽם׃

Pss 78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

וֽידבר֗ו בֽאל֫ה֥ים א֭מרו הי֣וכל א֑ל לער֥ך ש֝לח֗ן במדבֽר׃

Pss 78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

ה֤ן הכה־צ֨ור׀ ויז֣ובו מים֘ ונחל֪ים י֫שט֥פו הגם־ל֭חם י֣וכל ת֑ת אם־יכ֖ין שא֣ר לעמֽו׃

Pss 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?

לכ֤ן׀ שמ֥ע יהו֗ה וֽיתעב֥ר ו֭אש נשק֣ה ביעק֑ב וגם־א֝֗ף על֥ה בישראֽל׃

Pss 78:21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

כ֤י ל֣א ה֭אמינו באלה֑ים ול֥א ב֝טח֗ו בֽישועתֽו׃

Pss 78:22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

ויצ֣ו שחק֣ים ממ֑על ודלת֖י שמ֣ים פתֽח׃

Pss 78:23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

וימט֬ר עליה֣ם מ֣ן לאכ֑ל ודגן־ש֝מ֗ים נ֣תן לֽמו׃

Pss 78:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

ל֣חם א֭בירים א֣כל א֑יש ציד֬ה של֖ח לה֣ם לשֽבע׃

Pss 78:25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

יס֣ע ק֭דים בשמ֑ים וינה֖ג בעז֣ו תימֽן׃

Pss 78:26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

וימט֬ר עליה֣ם כעפ֣ר שא֑ר וֽכח֥ול י֝מ֗ים ע֣וף כנֽף׃

Pss 78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

ו֭יפל בק֣רב מחנ֑הו ס֝ב֗יב למשכנתֽיו׃

Pss 78:28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

ויאכל֣ו וישבע֣ו מא֑ד ו֝תֽאות֗ם יב֥א להֽם׃

Pss 78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

לא־זר֥ו מתאות֑ם ע֝֗וד אכל֥ם בפיהֽם׃

Pss 78:30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

וא֤ף אלה֨ים׀ ע֮ל֤ה בה֗ם וֽ֭יהרג במשמניה֑ם ובחור֖י ישרא֣ל הכרֽיע׃

Pss 78:31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

בכל־ז֭את חֽטאו־ע֑וד ולֽא־ה֝אמ֗ינו בנפלאותֽיו׃

Pss 78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

ויכל־בה֥בל ימיה֑ם ו֝שנות֗ם בבהלֽה׃

Pss 78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

אם־הרג֥ם ודרש֑והו ו֝ש֗בו ושֽחרו־אֽל׃

Pss 78:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

וֽ֭יזכרו כֽי־אלה֣ים צור֑ם וא֥ל ע֝ליון גאלֽם׃

Pss 78:35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

ויפת֥והו בפיה֑ם ו֝בלשונ֗ם יכזבו־לֽו׃

Pss 78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

ו֭לבם לא־נכ֣ון עמ֑ו ול֥א נ֝אמנ֗ו בבריתֽו׃

Pss 78:37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

וה֤וא רח֨ום׀ יכפ֥ר עון֘ וֽלא־י֫שח֥ית ו֭הרבה להש֣יב אפ֑ו ולֽא־י֝עיר כל־חמתֽו׃

Pss 78:38 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.

ו֭יזכר כי־בש֣ר ה֑מה ר֥וח ה֝ול֗ך ול֣א ישֽוב׃

Pss 78:39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

כ֭מה ימר֣והו במדב֑ר י֝עציב֗והו בֽישימֽון׃

Pss 78:40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

ויש֣ובו וינס֣ו א֑ל וקד֖וש ישרא֣ל התוו׃

Pss 78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

לא־זכר֥ו את־יד֑ו י֝֗ום אֽשר־פד֥ם מני־צֽר׃

Pss 78:42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

אשר־ש֣ם ב֭מצרים אֽתות֑יו ו֝מופת֗יו בשדה־צֽען׃

Pss 78:43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan.

ויהפ֣ך ל֭דם יאריה֑ם ו֝נזליה֗ם בל־ישתיֽון׃

Pss 78:44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

ישל֬ח בה֣ם ע֭רב ויאכל֑ם ו֝צפרד֗ע ותשחיתֽם׃

Pss 78:45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

וית֣ן לחס֣יל יבול֑ם וֽ֝יגיע֗ם לארבֽה׃

Pss 78:46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

יהר֣ג בבר֣ד גפנ֑ם ו֝שקמות֗ם בֽחנמֽל׃

Pss 78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.

ויסג֣ר לבר֣ד בעיר֑ם ו֝מקניה֗ם לרשפֽים׃

Pss 78:48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

ישלח־ב֨ם׀ חר֬ון אפ֗ו עבר֣ה וז֣עם וצר֑ה מ֝של֗חת מלאכ֥י רעֽים׃

Pss 78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

יפל֥ס נת֗יב לא֫פ֥ו לא־חש֣ך ממ֣ות נפש֑ם ו֝חית֗ם לד֥בר הסגֽיר׃

Pss 78:50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

וי֣ך כל־בכ֣ור במצר֑ים ראש֥ית א֝ונ֗ים באהלי־חֽם׃

Pss 78:51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

ויס֣ע כצ֣אן עמ֑ו וֽינהג֥ם כ֝ע֗דר במדבֽר׃

Pss 78:52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

וינח֣ם ל֭בטח ול֣א פח֑דו ואת־א֝ויביה֗ם כס֥ה היֽם׃

Pss 78:53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

ו֭יביאם אל־גב֣ול קדש֑ו הר־ז֝֗ה קנת֥ה ימינֽו׃

Pss 78:54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

ויג֤רש מפניה֨ם׀ גוי֗ם וֽ֭יפילם בח֣בל נחל֑ה וישכ֥ן ב֝אהליה֗ם שבט֥י ישראֽל׃

Pss 78:55 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.

וינס֣ו ו֭ימרו את־אלה֣ים עלי֑ון ו֝עדות֗יו ל֣א שמֽרו׃

Pss 78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

ויס֣גו וֽ֭יבגדו כאבות֑ם נ֝הפכ֗ו כק֣שת רמיֽה׃

Pss 78:57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

ויכעיס֥והו בבמות֑ם ו֝בפסיליה֗ם יקניאֽוהו׃

Pss 78:58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

שמ֣ע א֭להים וֽיתעב֑ר וימא֥ס מ֝א֗ד בישראֽל׃

Pss 78:59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

ו֭יטש משכ֣ן של֑ו א֝֗הל שכ֥ן באדֽם׃

Pss 78:60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

וית֣ן לשב֣י עז֑ו וֽתפארת֥ו ביד־צֽר׃

Pss 78:61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.

ויסג֣ר לח֣רב עמ֑ו ו֝בנחלת֗ו התעבֽר׃

Pss 78:62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.

בחור֥יו אֽכלה־א֑ש ו֝בתולת֗יו ל֣א הולֽלו׃

Pss 78:63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.

כ֭הניו בח֣רב נפ֑לו ו֝אלמנת֗יו ל֣א תבכֽינה׃

Pss 78:64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

ויק֖ץ כיש֥ן׀ אדנ֑י כ֝גב֗ור מתרונ֥ן מיֽין׃

Pss 78:65 Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

ויך־צר֥יו אח֑ור חרפ֥ת ע֝ול֗ם נ֣תן לֽמו׃

Pss 78:66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.

ו֭ימאס בא֣הל יוס֑ף וֽבש֥בט א֝פר֗ים ל֣א בחֽר׃

Pss 78:67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

ו֭יבחר את־ש֣בט יהוד֑ה אֽת־ה֥ר צ֝י֗ון אש֣ר אהֽב׃

Pss 78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

וי֣בן כמו־ר֭מים מקדש֑ו כ֝א֗רץ יסד֥ה לעולֽם׃

Pss 78:69 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

ו֭יבחר בדו֣ד עבד֑ו ו֝יקח֗הו מֽמכלא֥ת צֽאן׃

Pss 78:70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

מאח֥ר על֗ות ה֫ביא֥ו ל֭רעות ביעק֣ב עמ֑ו ו֝בישרא֗ל נחלתֽו׃

Pss 78:71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

ו֭ירעם כת֣ם לבב֑ו ובתבונ֖ות כפ֣יו ינחֽם׃

Pss 78:72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
