Psalms 78:1-20

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 My people, hear my instruction; listen to what I say.

2 I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past-

3 things we have heard and known and that our fathers have passed down to us.

4 We must not hide them from their children, but must tell a future generation the praises of the Lord, His might, and the wonderful works He has performed.

5 He established a testimony in Jacob and set up a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers to teach to their children

6 so that a future generation- children yet to be born-might know. They were to rise and tell their children

7 so that they might put their confidence in God and not forget God's works, but keep His commandments.

8 Then they would not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not loyal and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 The Ephraimite archers turned back on the day of battle.

10 They did not keep God's covenant and refused to live by His law.

11 They forgot what He had done, the wonderful works He had shown them.

12 He worked wonders in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, the region of Zoan.

13 He split the sea and brought them across; the water stood firm like a wall.

14 He led them with a cloud by day and with a fiery light throughout the night.

15 He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the depths.

16 He brought streams out of the stone and made water flow down like rivers.

17 But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.

18 They deliberately tested God, demanding the food they craved.

19 They spoke against God, saying, "Is God able to provide food in the wilderness?

20 Look! He struck the rock and water gushed out; torrents overflowed. But can He also provide bread or furnish meat for His people?"

New International Version NIV

1 My people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.

2 I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter hidden things, things from of old—

3 things we have heard and known, things our ancestors have told us.

4 We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.

5 He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children,

6 so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.

7 Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.

8 They would not be like their ancestors— a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him.

9 The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows, turned back on the day of battle;

10 they did not keep God’s covenant and refused to live by his law.

11 They forgot what he had done, the wonders he had shown them.

12 He did miracles in the sight of their ancestors in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.

13 He divided the sea and led them through; he made the water stand up like a wall.

14 He guided them with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night.

15 He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them water as abundant as the seas;

16 he brought streams out of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers.

17 But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.

18 They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved.

19 They spoke against God; they said, “Can God really spread a table in the wilderness?

20 True, he struck the rock, and water gushed out, streams flowed abundantly, but can he also give us bread? Can he supply meat for his people?”
