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.

wayyāqem ‘ēḏûṯ bəya‘ăqōḇ wəṯôrāh śām bəyiśərā’ēl ’ăšer ṣiwwāh ’eṯ-’ăḇôṯênû ləhôḏî‘ām liḇənêhem

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:

ləma‘an yēḏə‘û dôr ’aḥărôn bānîm yiwwālēḏû yāqumû wîsappərû liḇənêhem

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:

wəyāśîmû ḇē’lōhîm kisəlām wəlō’ yišəkəḥû ma‘aləlê-’ēl ûmiṣəwōṯāyw yinəṣōrû

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

wəlō’ yihəyû ka’ăḇôṯām dôr sôrēr ûmōreh dôr lō’-hēḵîn libbô wəlō’-ne’emənāh ’eṯ-’ēl rûḥô

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.

bənê-’ep̱ərayim nôšəqê rômê-qāšeṯ hāp̱əḵû bəyôm qərāḇ

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

lō’ šāmərû bərîṯ ’ĕlōhîm ûḇəṯôrāṯô mē’ănû lāleḵeṯ

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

wayyišəkəḥû ‘ălîlôṯāyw wənip̱ələ’ôṯāyw ’ăšer herə’ām

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

neg̱eḏ ’ăḇôṯām ‘āśāh p̱ele’ bə’ereṣ miṣərayim śəḏēh-ṣō‘an

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

bāqa‘ yām wayya‘ăḇîrēm wayyaṣṣeḇ-mayim kəmô-nēḏ

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

wayyanəḥēm be‘ānān yômām wəḵāl-hallayəlāh bə’ôr ’ēš

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

yəḇaqqa‘ ṣurîm bammiḏəbār wayyašəq kiṯəhōmôṯ rabbāh

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

wayyôṣi’ nôzəlîm missāla‘ wayyôreḏ kannəhārôṯ māyim

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

wayyôsîp̱û ‘ôḏ laḥăṭō’-lô lamərôṯ ‘eləyôn baṣṣiyyāh

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

wayənassû-’ēl biləḇāḇām lišə’āl-’ōḵel lənap̱əšām

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

wayəḏabbərû bē’lōhîm ’āmərû hăyûḵal ’ēl la‘ărōḵ šuləḥān bammiḏəbār

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

hēn hikkāh-ṣûr wayyāzûḇû mayim ûnəḥālîm yišəṭōp̱û hăg̱am-leḥem yûḵal tēṯ ’im-yāḵîn šə’ēr lə‘ammô

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?

lāḵēn šāma‘ yəhwāh wayyiṯə‘abbār wə’ēš niśśəqāh ḇəya‘ăqōḇ wəg̱am-’ap̱ ‘ālāh ḇəyiśərā’ēl

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;

kî lō’ he’ĕmînû bē’lōhîm wəlō’ ḇāṭəḥû bîšû‘āṯô

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

wayəṣaw šəḥāqîm mimmā‘al wəḏaləṯê šāmayim pāṯāḥ

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

wayyaməṭēr ‘ălêhem mān le’ĕḵōl ûḏəg̱an-šāmayim nāṯan lāmô

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

leḥem ’abbîrîm ’āḵal ’îš ṣêḏāh šālaḥ lāhem lāśōḇa‘

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

yassa‘ qāḏîm baššāmāyim wayənahēg̱ bə‘uzzô ṯêmān

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

wayyaməṭēr ‘ălêhem ke‘āp̱ār šə’ēr ûḵəḥôl yammîm ‘ôp̱ kānāp̱

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

wayyappēl bəqereḇ maḥănēhû sāḇîḇ ləmišəkənōṯāyw

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

wayyō’ḵəlû wayyiśəbə‘û mə’ōḏ wəṯa’ăwāṯām yāḇi’ lāhem

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

lō’-zārû mitta’ăwāṯām ‘ôḏ ’āḵəlām bəp̱îhem

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

wə’ap̱ ’ĕlōhîm ‘ālāh ḇāhem wayyahărōg̱ bəmišəmannêhem ûḇaḥûrê yiśərā’ēl hiḵərîa‘

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

bəḵāl-zō’ṯ ḥāṭə’û-‘ôḏ wəlō’-he’ĕmînû bənip̱ələ’ôṯāyw

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

wayəḵal-baheḇel yəmêhem ûšənôṯām babbehālāh

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

’im-hărāg̱ām ûḏərāšûhû wəšāḇû wəšiḥărû-’ēl

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

wayyizəkərû kî-’ĕlōhîm ṣûrām wə’ēl ‘eləyôn gō’ălām

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

wayəp̱attûhû bəp̱îhem ûḇiləšônām yəḵazzəḇû-lô

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

wəlibbām lō’-nāḵôn ‘immô wəlō’ ne’emənû biḇərîṯô

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

wəhû’ raḥûm yəḵappēr ‘āwōn wəlō’-yašəḥîṯ wəhirəbāh ləhāšîḇ ’appô wəlō’-yā‘îr kāl-ḥămāṯô

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.

wayyizəkōr kî-ḇāśār hēmmāh rûaḥ hôlēḵ wəlō’ yāšûḇ

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

kammāh yamərûhû ḇammiḏəbār ya‘ăṣîḇûhû bîšîmôn

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

wayyāšûḇû wayənassû ’ēl ûqəḏôš yiśərā’ēl hiṯəwû

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

lō’-zāḵərû ’eṯ-yāḏô yôm ’ăšer-pāḏām minnî-ṣār

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

’ăšer-śām bəmiṣərayim ’ōṯôṯāyw ûmôp̱əṯāyw biśəḏēh-ṣō‘an

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

wayyahăp̱ōḵ ləḏām yə’ōrêhem wənōzəlêhem bal-yišətāyûn

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

yəšallaḥ bāhem ‘ārōḇ wayyō’ḵəlēm ûṣəp̱arədēa‘ wattašəḥîṯēm

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

wayyittēn leḥāsîl yəḇûlām wîg̱î‘ām lā’arəbeh

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

yahărōg̱ babbārāḏ gap̱ənām wəšiqəmôṯām baḥănāmal

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

wayyasəgēr labbārāḏ bə‘îrām ûmiqənêhem lārəšāp̱îm

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

yəšallaḥ-bām ḥărôn ’appô ‘eḇərāh wāza‘am wəṣārāh mišəlaḥaṯ malə’ăḵê rā‘îm

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

yəp̱allēs nāṯîḇ lə’appô lō’-ḥāśaḵ mimmāweṯ nap̱əšām wəḥayyāṯām laddeḇer hisəgîr

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;

wayyaḵ kāl-bəḵôr bəmiṣərāyim rē’šîṯ ’ônîm bə’āhŏlê-ḥām

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

wayyassa‘ kaṣṣō’n ‘ammô wayənahăg̱ēm ka‘ēḏer bammiḏəbār

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

wayyanəḥēm lāḇeṭaḥ wəlō’ p̱āḥāḏû wə’eṯ-’ôyəḇêhem kissāh hayyām

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

wayəḇî’ēm ’el-gəḇûl qāḏəšô har-zeh qānəṯāh yəmînô

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

wayəg̱āreš mippənêhem gôyim wayyappîlēm bəḥeḇel naḥălāh wayyašəkēn bə’āhŏlêhem šiḇəṭê yiśərā’ēl

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.

wayənassû wayyamərû ’eṯ-’ĕlōhîm ‘eləyôn wə‘ēḏôṯāyw lō’ šāmārû

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

wayyissōg̱û wayyiḇəgəḏû ka’ăḇôṯām nehəpəḵû kəqešeṯ rəmiyyāh

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

wayyaḵə‘îsûhû bəḇāmôṯām ûḇip̱əsîlêhem yaqənî’ûhû

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

šāma‘ ’ĕlōhîm wayyiṯə‘abbār wayyimə’as mə’ōḏ bəyiśərā’ēl

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

wayyiṭṭōš mišəkan šilô ’ōhel šikkēn bā’āḏām

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

wayyittēn laššəḇî ‘uzzô wəṯip̱ə’arətô ḇəyaḏ-ṣār

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

wayyasəgēr laḥereḇ ‘ammô ûḇənaḥălāṯô hiṯə‘abbār

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

baḥûrāyw ’āḵəlāh-’ēš ûḇəṯûlōṯāyw lō’ hûllālû

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

kōhănāyw baḥereḇ nāp̱ālû wə’aləmənōṯāyw lō’ ṯiḇəkeynāh

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

wayyiqaṣ kəyāšēn ’ăḏōnāy kəg̱ibbôr miṯərônēn miyyāyin

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

wayyaḵ-ṣārāyw ’āḥôr ḥerəpaṯ ‘ôlām nāṯan lāmô

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

wayyimə’as bə’ōhel yôsēp̱ ûḇəšēḇeṭ ’ep̱ərayim lō’ ḇāḥār

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

wayyiḇəḥar ’eṯ-šēḇeṭ yəhûḏāh ’eṯ-har ṣiyyôn ’ăšer ’āhēḇ

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

wayyiḇen kəmô-rāmîm miqədāšô kə’ereṣ yəsāḏāhh lə‘ôlām

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

wayyiḇəḥar bəḏāwiḏ ‘aḇədô wayyiqqāḥēhû mimmiḵələ’ōṯ ṣō’n

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

mē’aḥar ‘ālôṯ hĕḇî’ô lirə‘ôṯ bəya‘ăqōḇ ‘ammô ûḇəyiśərā’ēl naḥălāṯô

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

wayyirə‘ēm kəṯōm ləḇāḇô ûḇiṯəḇûnôṯ kappāyw yanəḥēm

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