Psalm
78
1
Pay attention, my people, to my instruction! Listen to the words I speak!
2
I will sing a song that imparts wisdom; I will make insightful observations about the past.
3
What we have heard and learned - that which our ancestors have told us -
4
we will not hide from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the LORD's praiseworthy acts, about his strength and the amazing things he has done.
5
He established a rule in Jacob; he set up a law in Israel. He commanded our ancestors to make his deeds known to their descendants,
6
so that the next generation, children yet to be born, might know about them. They will grow up and tell their descendants about them.
7
Then they will place their confidence in God. They will not forget the works of God, and they will obey his commands.
8
Then they will not be like their ancestors, who were a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that was not committed and faithful to God.
9
The Ephraimites were armed with bows, but they retreated in the day of battle.
10
They did not keep their covenant with God, and they refused to obey his law.
11
They forgot what he had done, the amazing things he had shown them.
12
He did amazing things in the sight of their ancestors, in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
13
He divided the sea and led them across it; he made the water stand in a heap.
14
He led them with a cloud by day, and with the light of a fire all night long.
15
He broke open rocks in the wilderness, and gave them enough water to fill the depths of the sea.
16
He caused streams to flow from the rock, and made the water flow like rivers.
17
Yet they continued to sin against him, and rebelled against the sovereign One in the desert.
18
They willfully challenged God by asking for food to satisfy their appetite.
19
They insulted God, saying, "Is God really able to give us food in the wilderness?
20
Yes, he struck a rock and water flowed out, streams gushed forth. But can he also give us food? Will he provide meat for his people?"
21
When the LORD heard this, he was furious. A fire broke out against Jacob, and his anger flared up against Israel,
22
because they did not have faith in God, and did not trust his ability to deliver them.
23
He gave a command to the clouds above, and opened the doors in the sky.
24
He rained down manna for them to eat; he gave them the grain of heaven.
25
Man ate the food of the mighty ones. He sent them more than enough to eat.
