[1]
Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
[2] I will open my mouth in a parable.
I will utter dark sayings of old,
[3] which we have heard and known,
and our fathers have told us.
[4] We will not hide them from their children,
telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh,
his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.
[5] For he established a covenant in Jacob,
and appointed a teaching in Israel,
which he commanded our fathers,
that they should make them known to their children;
[6] that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born;
who should arise and tell their children,
[7] that they might set their hope in God,
and not forget God’s deeds,
but keep his commandments,
[8] and might not be as their fathers—
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal,
whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
[9] The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows,
turned back in the day of battle.
[10] They didn’t keep God’s covenant,
and refused to walk in his law.
[11] They forgot his doings,
his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
[12] He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers,
in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
[13] He split the sea, and caused them to pass through.
He made the waters stand as a heap.
[14] In the daytime he also led them with a cloud,
and all night with a light of fire.
[15] He split rocks in the wilderness,
and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
[16] He brought streams also out of the rock,
and caused waters to run down like rivers.
[17] Yet they still went on to sin against him,
to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
[18] They tempted God in their heart
by asking food according to their desire.
[19] Yes, they spoke against God.
They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
[20] Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out,
and streams overflowed.
Can he give bread also?
Will he provide meat for his people?”
[21] Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry.
A fire was kindled against Jacob,
anger also went up against Israel,
[22] because they didn’t believe in God,
and didn’t trust in his salvation.
[23] Yet he commanded the skies above,
and opened the doors of heaven.
[24] He rained down manna on them to eat,
and gave them food from the sky.
[25] Man ate the bread of angels.
He sent them food to the full.
[26] He caused the east wind to blow in the sky.
By his power he guided the south wind.
[27] He also rained meat on them as the dust,
winged birds as the sand of the seas.
[28] He let them fall in the middle of their camp,
around their habitations.
[29] So they ate, and were well filled.
He gave them their own desire.
[30] They didn’t turn from their cravings.
Their food was yet in their mouths,
[31] when the anger of God went up against them,
killed some of their strongest,
and struck down the young men of Israel.
[32] For all this they still sinned,
and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.
[33] Therefore he consumed their days in vanity,
and their years in terror.
[34] When he killed them, then they inquired after him.
They returned and sought God earnestly.
[35] They remembered that God was their rock,
the Most High God, their redeemer.
[36] But they flattered him with their mouth,
and lied to him with their tongue.
[37] For their heart was not right with him,
neither were they faithful in his covenant.
[38] But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them.
Yes, many times he turned his anger away,
and didn’t stir up all his wrath.
[39] He remembered that they were but flesh,
a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.
[40] How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness,
and grieved him in the desert!
[41] They turned again and tempted God,
and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
[42] They didn’t remember his hand,
nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
[43] how he set his signs in Egypt,
his wonders in the field of Zoan,
[44] he turned their rivers into blood,
and their streams, so that they could not drink.
[45] He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them;
and frogs, which destroyed them.
[46] He also gave their increase to the caterpillar,
and their labor to the locust.
[47] He destroyed their vines with hail,
their sycamore fig trees with frost.
[48] He also gave over their livestock to the hail,
and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
[49] He threw on them the fierceness of his anger,
wrath, indignation, and trouble,
and a band of angels of evil.
[50] He made a path for his anger.
He didn’t spare their soul from death,
but gave their life over to the pestilence,
[51] and struck all the firstborn in Egypt,
the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
[52] But he led out his own people like sheep,
and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
[53] He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid,
but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
[54] He brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.
[55] He also drove out the nations before them,
allotted them for an inheritance by line,
and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
[56] Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God,
and didn’t keep his testimonies,
[57] but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers.
They were twisted like a deceitful bow.
[58] For they provoked him to anger with their high places,
and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.
[59] When God heard this, he was angry,
and greatly abhorred Israel,
[60] so that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh,
the tent which he placed among men,
[61] and delivered his strength into captivity,
his glory into the adversary’s hand.
[62] He also gave his people over to the sword,
and was angry with his inheritance.
[63] Fire devoured their young men.
Their virgins had no wedding song.
[64] Their priests fell by the sword,
and their widows couldn’t weep.
[65] Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep,
like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
[66] He struck his adversaries backward.
He put them to a perpetual reproach.
[67] Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph,
and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim,
[68] But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion which he loved.
[69] He built his sanctuary like the heights,
like the earth which he has established forever.
[70] He also chose David his servant,
and took him from the sheepfolds;
[71] from following the ewes that have their young,
he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people,
and Israel, his inheritance.
[72] So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart,
and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
A contemplation by Asaph.

MaschilH4905(HiphPtc) of Asaph.H623
Give ear,H238(HiphImpv) O my people,H5971 [to] my law:H8451 inclineH5186(HiphImpv) your earsH241 to the wordsH561 of my mouth.H6310 [2] I will openH6605(QalImpf) my mouthH6310 in a parable:H4912 I will utterH5042(HiphImpf) dark sayingsH2420 of old:H6924 [3] Which we have heardH8085(QalPerf) and known,H3045(QalImpf) and our fathersH1 have toldH5608(PielPerf) us. [4] We will not hideH3582(PielImpf) [them] from their children,H1121 shewingH5608(PielPtc) to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the Lord,H3068 and his strength,H5807 and his wonderful worksH6381(NiphPtc) that he hath done.H6213(QalPerf) [5] For he establishedH6965(HiphImpf) a testimonyH5715 in Jacob,H3290 and appointedH7760(QalPerf) a lawH8451 in Israel,H3478 which he commandedH6680(PielPerf) our fathers,H1 that they should make them knownH3045(HiphInf) to their children:H1121 [6] That the generationH1755 to comeH314 might knowH3045(QalImpf) [them, even] the childrenH1121 [which] should be born;H3205(NiphImpf) [who] should ariseH6965(QalImpf) and declareH5608(PielImpf) [them] to their children:H1121 [7] That they might setH7760(QalImpf) their hopeH3689 in God,H430 and not forgetH7911(QalImpf) the worksH4611 of God,H410 but keepH5341(QalImpf) his commandments:H4687 [8] And might not be as their fathers,H1 a stubbornH5637(QalActPtc) and rebelliousH4784(QalActPtc) generation;H1755 a generationH1755 [that] setH3559 not their heartH3820 aright,H3559(HiphPerf) and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539(NiphPerf) with God.H410 [9] The childrenH1121 of Ephraim,H669 [being] armed,H5401(QalActPtc) [and] carryingH7411(QalActPtc) bows,H7198 turned backH2015(QalPerf) in the dayH3117 of battle.H7128 [10] They keptH8104(QalPerf) not the covenantH1285 of God,H430 and refusedH3985(PielPerf) to walkH3212(QalInf) in his law;H8451 [11] And forgatH7911(QalImpf) his works,H5949 and his wondersH6381(NiphPtc) that he had shewedH7200(HiphPerf) them. [12] Marvellous thingsH6382 didH6213(QalPerf) he in the sightH5048 of their fathers,H1 in the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 [in] the fieldH7704 of Zoan.H6814 [13] He dividedH1234(QalPerf) the sea,H3220 and caused them to pass through;H5674(HiphImpf) and he made the watersH4325 to standH5324(HiphImpf) as an heap.H5067 [14] In the daytimeH3119 also he ledH5148(HiphImpf) them with a cloud,H6051 and all the nightH3915 with a lightH216 of fire.H784 [15] He claveH1234(PielImpf) the rocksH6697 in the wilderness,H4057 and gave [them] drinkH8248(HiphImpf) as [out of] the greatH7227 depths.H8415 [16] He broughtH3318(HiphImpf) streamsH5140(QalActPtc) also out of the rock,H5553 and caused watersH4325 to run downH3381(HiphImpf) like rivers.H5104 [17] And they sinnedH2398(QalInf) yet moreH3254(HiphImpf) against him by provokingH4784(HiphInf) the most HighH5945 in the wilderness.H6723 [18] And they temptedH5254(PielImpf) GodH410 in their heartH3824 by askingH7592(QalInf) meatH400 for their lust.H5315 [19] Yea, they spakeH1696(PielImpf) against God;H430 they said,H559(QalPerf) CanH3201(QalImpf) GodH410 furnishH6186(QalInf) a tableH7979 in the wilderness?H4057 [20] Behold, he smoteH5221(HiphPerf) the rock,H6697 that the watersH4325 gushed out,H2100(QalImpf) and the streamsH5158 overflowed;H7857(QalImpf) canH3201(QalImpf) he giveH5414(QalInf) breadH3899 also? canH3201(QalImpf) he provideH3559(HiphImpf) fleshH7607 for his people?H5971 [21] Therefore the LordH3068 heardH8085(QalPerf) [this], and was wroth:H5674(HithImpf) so a fireH784 was kindledH5400(NiphPerf) against Jacob,H3290 and angerH639 also came upH5927(QalPerf) against Israel;H3478 [22] Because they believedH539(HiphPerf) not in God,H430 and trustedH982(QalPerf) not in his salvation:H3444 [23] Though he had commandedH6680(PielImpf) the cloudsH7834 from above,H4605 and openedH6605(QalPerf) the doorsH1817 of heaven,H8064 [24] And had rained downH4305(HiphImpf) mannaH4478 upon them to eat,H398(QalInf) and had givenH5414(QalPerf) them of the cornH1715 of heaven.H8064 [25] ManH376 did eatH398(QalPerf) angels’H47 food:H3899 he sentH7971(QalPerf) them meatH6720 to the full.H7648 [26] He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265(HiphImpf) in the heaven:H8064 and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090(PielImpf) the south wind.H8486 [27] He rainedH4305(HiphImpf) fleshH7607 also upon them as dust,H6083 and featheredH3671 fowlsH5775 like as the sandH2344 of the sea:H3220 [28] And he let [it] fallH5307(HiphImpf) in the midstH7130 of their camp,H4264 round aboutH5439 their habitations.H4908 [29] So they did eat,H398(QalImpf) and were wellH3966 filled:H7646(QalImpf) for he gaveH935(HiphImpf) them their own desire;H8378 [30] They were not estrangedH2114(QalPerf) from their lust.H8378 But while their meatH400 [was] yet in their mouths,H6310 [31] The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927(QalPerf) upon them, and slewH2026(QalImpf) the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766(HiphPerf) the chosenH970 [men] of Israel.H3478 [32] For all this they sinnedH2398(QalPerf) still, and believedH539(HiphPerf) not for his wondrous works.H6381(NiphPtc) [33] Therefore their daysH3117 did he consumeH3615(PielImpf) in vanity,H1892 and their yearsH8141 in trouble.H928 [34] When he slewH2026(QalPerf) them, then they soughtH1875(QalPerf) him: and they returnedH7725(QalPerf) and enquired earlyH7836(PielPerf) after God.H410 [35] And they rememberedH2142(QalImpf) that GodH430 [was] their rock,H6697 and the highH5945 GodH410 their redeemer.H1350(QalActPtc) [36] Nevertheless they did flatterH6601(PielImpf) him with their mouth,H6310 and they liedH3576(PielImpf) unto him with their tongues.H3956 [37] For their heartH3820 was not rightH3559(NiphPtc) with him, neither were they stedfastH539(NiphPerf) in his covenant.H1285 [38] But he, [being] full of compassion,H7349 forgaveH3722(PielImpf) [their] iniquity,H5771 and destroyedH7843(HiphImpf) [them] not: yea, many a timeH7235(HiphPerf) turnedH7725 he his angerH639 away,H7725(HiphInf) and did not stir upH5782(HiphImpf) all his wrath.H2534 [39] For he rememberedH2142(QalImpf) that they [were but] flesh;H1320 a windH7307 that passeth away,H1980(QalActPtc) and cometh not again.H7725(QalImpf) [40] HowH4100 oft did they provokeH4784(HiphImpf) him in the wilderness,H4057 [and] grieveH6087(HiphImpf) him in the desert!H3452 [41] Yea, they turned backH7725(QalImpf) and temptedH5254(PielImpf) God,H410 and limitedH8428(HiphPerf) the Holy OneH6918 of Israel.H3478 [42] They rememberedH2142(QalPerf) not his hand,H3027 [nor] the dayH3117 when he deliveredH6299(QalPerf) them from the enemy.H6862 [43] How he had wroughtH7760(QalPerf) his signsH226 in Egypt,H4714 and his wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of Zoan:H6814 [44] And had turnedH2015(QalImpf) their riversH2975 into blood;H1818 and their floods,H5140(QalActPtc) that they could not drink.H8354(QalImpf) [45] He sentH7971(PielImpf) divers sorts of fliesH6157 among them, which devouredH398(QalImpf) them; and frogs,H6854 which destroyedH7843(HiphImpf) them. [46] He gaveH5414(QalImpf) also their increaseH2981 unto the caterpiller,H2625 and their labourH3018 unto the locust.H697 [47] He destroyedH2026(QalImpf) their vinesH1612 with hail,H1259 and their sycomore treesH8256 with frost.H2602 [48] He gave upH5462(HiphImpf) their cattleH1165 also to the hail,H1259 and their flocksH4735 to hot thunderbolts.H7565 [49] He castH7971(PielImpf) upon them the fiercenessH2740 of his anger,H639 wrath,H5678 and indignation,H2195 and trouble,H6869 by sendingH4917 evilH7451 angelsH4397 [among them]. [50] He madeH6424(PielImpf) a wayH5410 to his anger;H639 he sparedH2820(QalPerf) not their soulH5315 from death,H4194 but gaveH5462 their lifeH2416 overH5462(HiphPerf) to the pestilence;H1698 [51] And smoteH5221(HiphImpf) all the firstbornH1060 in Egypt;H4714 the chiefH7225 of [their] strengthH202 in the tabernaclesH168 of Ham:H2526 [52] But made his own peopleH5971 to go forthH5265(HiphImpf) like sheep,H6629 and guidedH5090(PielImpf) them in the wildernessH4057 like a flock.H5739 [53] And he ledH5148(HiphImpf) them on safely,H983 so that they fearedH6342(QalPerf) not: but the seaH3220 overwhelmedH3680(PielPerf) their enemies.H341(QalActPtc) [54] And he broughtH935(HiphImpf) them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuary,H6944 [even to] this mountain,H2022 [which] his right handH3225 had purchased.H7069(QalPerf) [55] He cast outH1644(PielImpf) the heathenH1471 also beforeH6440 them, and dividedH5307(HiphImpf) them an inheritanceH5159 by line,H2256 and made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931(HiphImpf) in their tents.H168 [56] Yet they temptedH5254(PielImpf) and provokedH4784(HiphImpf) the most highH5945 God,H430 and keptH8104(QalPerf) not his testimonies:H5713 [57] But turned back,H5472(NiphImpf) and dealt unfaithfullyH898(QalImpf) like their fathers:H1 they were turned asideH2015(NiphPerf) like a deceitfulH7423 bow.H7198 [58] For they provoked him to angerH3707(HiphImpf) with their high places,H1116 and moved him to jealousyH7065(HiphImpf) with their graven images.H6456 [59] When GodH430 heardH8085(QalPerf) [this], he was wroth,H5674(HithImpf) and greatlyH3966 abhorredH3988(QalImpf) Israel:H3478 [60] So that he forsookH5203(QalImpf) the tabernacleH4908 of Shiloh,H7887 the tentH168 [which] he placedH7931(PielPerf) among men;H120 [61] And deliveredH5414(QalImpf) his strengthH5797 into captivity,H7628 and his gloryH8597 into the enemy’sH6862 hand.H3027 [62] He gaveH5462 his peopleH5971 overH5462(HiphImpf) also unto the sword;H2719 and was wrothH5674(HithPerf) with his inheritance.H5159 [63] The fireH784 consumedH398(QalPerf) their young men;H970 and their maidensH1330 were not given to marriage.H1984(PualPerf) [64] Their priestsH3548 fellH5307(QalPerf) by the sword;H2719 and their widowsH490 made no lamentation.H1058(QalImpf) [65] Then the LordH136 awakedH3364(QalImpf) as one out of sleep,H3463 [and] like a mighty manH1368 that shoutethH7442(HiplPtc) by reason of wine.H3196 [66] And he smoteH5221(HiphImpf) his enemiesH6862 in the hinder parts:H268 he putH5414(QalPerf) them to a perpetualH5769 reproach.H2781 [67] Moreover he refusedH3988(QalImpf) the tabernacleH168 of Joseph,H3130 and choseH977(QalPerf) not the tribeH7626 of Ephraim:H669 [68] But choseH977(QalImpf) the tribeH7626 of Judah,H3063 the mountH2022 ZionH6726 which he loved.H157(QalPerf) [69] And he builtH1129(QalImpf) his sanctuaryH4720 like highH7311(QalActPtc) [palaces], like the earthH776 which he hath establishedH3245(QalPerf) for ever.H5769 [70] He choseH977(QalImpf) DavidH1732 also his servant,H5650 and tookH3947(QalImpf) him from the sheepfolds:H4356 [71] From followingH310 the ewes great with youngH5763(QalActPtc) he broughtH935(HiphPerf) him to feedH7462(QalInf) JacobH3290 his people,H5971 and IsraelH3478 his inheritance.H5159 [72] So he fedH7462(HiphImpf) them according to the integrityH8537 of his heart;H3824 and guidedH5148(HiphImpf) them by the skilfulnessH8394 of his hands.H3709Byzantine Greek New Testament
