It was not hid from their sons, to a later generation recounting the praises of Jehovah and his strength, and his wonders which he did.

And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true to God.

The sea was cut in two so that they might go through; the waters were massed together on this side and on that.

In the daytime he was guiding them in the cloud, and all through the night with a light of fire.

To test God was in their minds, when they demanded food to satisfy their cravings.

See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel;

But they were not turned from their desires; and while the food was still in their mouths,

In the memory that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their saviour.

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

But he [was] compassionate; he pardoned [their] guilt and did not destroy [them]. And many [times] he turned back his anger and did not stir up all his wrath,

Ice was rained down on their cattle; thunderstorms sent destruction among the flocks.

And he was their guide to his holy land, even to the mountain, which his right hand had made his;

When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;

He gave his people up to the sword, and was angry with his heritage.

Then was the Lord like one awaking from sleep, and like a strong man crying out because of wine.

As he was following the ewes great with young, he took him, that he might feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. A Psalm by Asaph.

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

Why should the nations say, "Where [is] their God?" Let it be known among the nations before our eyes, [by] the avenging of the blood of your servants that was poured out.

It was sending out its branches to the sea
And its shoots to the River.

Even to the tree which was planted by your right hand, and to the branch which you made strong for yourself.

It was cut down and burned up;
they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

And my people heard not to my voice; and Israel was not inclined to me.

Also Assur was joined with them: they were an arm to the sons of Lot Silence.

“I will mention those who know Me:
Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—
each one was born there.”

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

When He registers the peoples,
the Lord will record,
“This one was born there.”Selah

For my soul was filled with evils, and my life touched upon hades.

I was reckoned with those going down to the pit: I was as a man of no strength:

Thou didst remove far from me mine acquaintance; thou didst set me an abomination to them: I was shut up, and I shall not go forth.

I have been troubled and in fear of death from the time when I was young; your wrath is hard on me, and I have no strength.

I will declare that your gracious love was established forever; in the heavens itself, you have established your faithfulness.

Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters.

Forever will I watch my mercy to him, and my covenant was firm to him.

All those passing over the way plundered him: he was a reproach to his neighbors:

That when the wicked sprouted up like grass
And all who did iniquity flourished,
It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

You've grown my strength like the horn of a wild ox; I was anointed with fresh oil.

Thy throne was prepared from then: thou art from forever.

Thy testimonies were very firm: holiness was becoming to thy house, O Jehovah, to length of days.

The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands.

For 40 years I was disgusted with that generation;
I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray;
they do not know My ways.”

Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.

Light was sown for the just one, and gladness for the upright of heart

Jehovah is great in Zion, and he was raised up over all peoples.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests;
Samuel also was among those calling on His name.
They called to Yahweh and He answered them.

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

{A prayer of the afflicted, when he was in woe, and poured out his complaint before the Lord} Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my crying come unto thee.

My heart was struck and dried up as grass, that I forget eating my bread.

I was like to the pelican of the desert: I was as the owl of the dry places.

For Jehovah built Zion, he was seen in his glory

but when the wind blows through it, it withers away and no one remembers where it was.

How thy works were multiplied. O Jehovah! in wisdom thou madest them all: the earth was filled with thy possessions.

When there was yet but a few of them - and they strangers in the land -

He had sent a man ahead of them—
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

They hurt his feet with shackles;
his neck was put in an iron collar.

Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.

Then Israel came [to] Egypt, and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Ham.

He sent darkness, and it was dark; for they were not obedient unto his word.

Their land was overrun with frogs,
even in their royal chambers.

He sent hail along with the rain; there was lightning in their land.

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

Egypt was glad when they left,
for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.

A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.

But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.

He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,

And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

And their glory was changed into the image of an ox, whose food is grass.

And he was purposing to put an end to them if Moses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.

Thus they provoked him unto anger with their own inventions; and the plague was great among them.

But Phinehas stood up and intervened,
and the plague was stopped.

It was credited to him as righteousness
throughout all generations to come.

They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;

He broke their spirits with hard labor;
they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

They reached up to the sky, then dropped into the depths. The sailors' strength left them because the danger was so great.

they reeled and staggered like drunken men,
and all their skill was useless.

Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.

For my love, they have been accusing me, while, I, was at prayer:

Let his children wander and beg;
Let them seek their food and be driven far from their ruined homes.

Because he had no mercy, but was cruel to the low and the poor, designing the death of the broken-hearted.

Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn't delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

As the shadow according to its declining I was gone: I was shaken off as the locust.

And I was a reproach to them: they will see me and they will shake the head.

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

Why was it, sea, that you fled?
Jordan, that you turned back?

But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.

The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.

The Lord guards the inexperienced;
I was helpless, and He saved me.

I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

For his mercy was strengthened upon us, and the truth of Jehovah is forever. Praise ye Jah.

I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.

The right hand of Jehovah was exalted: the right hand of Jehovah did strength.
