MaschilH4905 of AsaphH623. Give earH238, O my peopleH5971, to my lawH8451: inclineH5186 your earsH241 to the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310. {Maschil…: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction}
I will openH6605 my mouthH6310 in a parableH4912: I will utterH5042 dark sayingsH2420 of oldH6924:
Which we have heardH8085 and knownH3045, and our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us.
We will not hideH3582 them from their childrenH1121, shewingH5608 to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5807, and his wonderful worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213.
For he establishedH6965 a testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, and appointedH7760 a lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1, that they should make them knownH3045 to their childrenH1121:
That the generationH1755 to comeH314 might knowH3045 them, even the childrenH1121 which should be bornH3205; who should ariseH6965 and declareH5608 them to their childrenH1121:
That they might setH7760 their hopeH3689 in GodH430, and not forgetH7911 the worksH4611 of GodH410, but keepH5341 his commandmentsH4687:
And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539 with GodH410. {that…: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
The childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, being armedH5401, and carryingH7411 bowsH7198, turned backH2015 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128. {carrying: Heb. throwing forth}
They keptH8104 not the covenantH1285 of GodH430, and refusedH3985 to walkH3212 in his lawH8451;
And forgatH7911 his worksH5949, and his wondersH6381 that he had shewedH7200 them.
Marvellous thingsH6382 didH6213 he in the sightH5048 of their fathersH1, in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814.
He dividedH1234 the seaH3220, and caused them to pass throughH5674; and he made the watersH4325 to standH5324 as an heapH5067.
In the daytimeH3119 also he ledH5148 them with a cloudH6051, and all the nightH3915 with a lightH216 of fireH784.
He claveH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057, and gave them drinkH8248 as out of the greatH7227 depthsH8415.
He broughtH3318 streamsH5140 also out of the rockH5553, and caused watersH4325 to run downH3381 like riversH5104.
And they sinnedH2398 yet moreH3254 against him by provokingH4784 the most HighH5945 in the wildernessH6723.
And they temptedH5254 GodH410 in their heartH3824 by askingH7592 meatH400 for their lustH5315.
Yea, they spakeH1696 against GodH430; they saidH559, CanH3201 GodH410 furnishH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057? {furnish: Heb. order}
Behold, he smoteH5221 the rockH6697, that the watersH4325 gushed outH2100, and the streamsH5158 overflowedH7857; canH3201 he giveH5414 breadH3899 also? canH3201 he provideH3559 fleshH7607 for his peopleH5971?
Therefore the LORDH3068 heardH8085 this, and was wrothH5674: so a fireH784 was kindledH5400 against JacobH3290, and angerH639 also came upH5927 against IsraelH3478;
Because they believedH539 not in GodH430, and trustedH982 not in his salvationH3444:
Though he had commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 from aboveH4605, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064,
And had rained downH4305 mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398, and had givenH5414 them of the cornH1715 of heavenH8064.
ManH376 did eatH398 angels'H47 foodH3899: he sentH7971 them meatH6720 to the fullH7648. {Man…: or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty}
He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265 in the heavenH8064: and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090 the south windH8486. {to blow: Heb. to go}
He rainedH4305 fleshH7607 also upon them as dustH6083, and featheredH3671 fowlsH5775 like as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220: {feathered…: Heb. fowl of wing}
And he let it fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264, round aboutH5439 their habitationsH4908.
So they did eatH398, and were wellH3966 filledH7646: for he gaveH935 them their own desireH8378;
They were not estrangedH2114 from their lustH8378. But while their meatH400 was yet in their mouthsH6310,
The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927 upon them, and slewH2026 the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766 the chosenH970 men of IsraelH3478. {smote…: Heb. made to bow} {Chosen…: or, young men}
For all this they sinnedH2398 still, and believedH539 not for his wondrous worksH6381.
Therefore their daysH3117 did he consumeH3615 in vanityH1892, and their yearsH8141 in troubleH928.
When he slewH2026 them, then they soughtH1875 him: and they returnedH7725 and enquired earlyH7836 after GodH410.
And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697, and the highH5945 GodH410 their redeemerH1350.
Nevertheless they did flatterH6601 him with their mouthH6310, and they liedH3576 unto him with their tonguesH3956.
For their heartH3820 was not rightH3559 with him, neither were they stedfastH539 in his covenantH1285.
But he, being full of compassionH7349, forgaveH3722 their iniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843 them not: yea, many a timeH7235 turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725, and did not stir upH5782 all his wrathH2534.
For he rememberedH2142 that they were but fleshH1320; a windH7307 that passeth awayH1980, and cometh not againH7725.
HowH4100 oft did they provokeH4784 him in the wildernessH4057, and grieveH6087 him in the desertH3452! {provoke: or, rebel against}
Yea, they turned backH7725 and temptedH5254 GodH410, and limitedH8428 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
They rememberedH2142 not his handH3027, nor the dayH3117 when he deliveredH6299 them from the enemyH6862. {from…: or, from affliction}
How he had wroughtH7760 his signsH226 in EgyptH4714, and his wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814: {wrought: Heb. set}
And had turnedH2015 their riversH2975 into bloodH1818; and their floodsH5140, that they could not drinkH8354.
He sentH7971 divers sorts of fliesH6157 among them, which devouredH398 them; and frogsH6854, which destroyedH7843 them.
He gaveH5414 also their increaseH2981 unto the caterpillerH2625, and their labourH3018 unto the locustH697.
He destroyedH2026 their vinesH1612 with hailH1259, and their sycomore treesH8256 with frostH2602. {destroyed: Heb. killed} {frost: or, great hailstones}
He gave upH5462 their cattleH1165 also to the hailH1259, and their flocksH4735 to hot thunderboltsH7565. {gave…: Heb. shut up} {hot…: or, lightnings}
He castH7971 upon them the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, wrathH5678, and indignationH2195, and troubleH6869, by sendingH4917 evilH7451 angelsH4397 among them.
He madeH6424 a wayH5410 to his angerH639; he sparedH2820 not their soulH5315 from deathH4194, but gaveH5462 their lifeH2416 overH5462 to the pestilenceH1698; {He made…: Heb. He weighed a path} {life…: or, beasts to the murrain}
And smoteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in EgyptH4714; the chiefH7225 of their strengthH202 in the tabernaclesH168 of HamH2526:
But made his own peopleH5971 to go forthH5265 like sheepH6629, and guidedH5090 them in the wildernessH4057 like a flockH5739.
And he ledH5148 them on safelyH983, so that they fearedH6342 not: but the seaH3220 overwhelmedH3680 their enemiesH341. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
And he broughtH935 them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuaryH6944, even to this mountainH2022, which his right handH3225 had purchasedH7069.
He cast outH1644 the heathenH1471 also beforeH6440 them, and dividedH5307 them an inheritanceH5159 by lineH2256, and made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931 in their tentsH168.
Yet they temptedH5254 and provokedH4784 the most highH5945 GodH430, and keptH8104 not his testimoniesH5713:
But turned backH5472, and dealt unfaithfullyH898 like their fathersH1: they were turned asideH2015 like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198.
For they provoked him to angerH3707 with their high placesH1116, and moved him to jealousyH7065 with their graven imagesH6456.
When GodH430 heardH8085 this, he was wrothH5674, and greatlyH3966 abhorredH3988 IsraelH3478:
So that he forsookH5203 the tabernacleH4908 of ShilohH7887, the tentH168 which he placedH7931 among menH120;
And deliveredH5414 his strengthH5797 into captivityH7628, and his gloryH8597 into the enemy'sH6862 handH3027.
He gaveH5462 his peopleH5971 overH5462 also unto the swordH2719; and was wrothH5674 with his inheritanceH5159.
The fireH784 consumedH398 their young menH970; and their maidensH1330 were not given to marriageH1984. {given…: Heb. praised}
Their priestsH3548 fellH5307 by the swordH2719; and their widowsH490 made no lamentationH1058.
Then the LordH136 awakedH3364 as one out of sleepH3463, and like a mighty manH1368 that shoutethH7442 by reason of wineH3196.
And he smoteH5221 his enemiesH6862 in the hinder partsH268: he putH5414 them to a perpetualH5769 reproachH2781.
Moreover he refusedH3988 the tabernacleH168 of JosephH3130, and choseH977 not the tribeH7626 of EphraimH669:
But choseH977 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063, the mountH2022 ZionH6726 which he lovedH157.
And he builtH1129 his sanctuaryH4720 like highH7311 palaces, like the earthH776 which he hath establishedH3245 for everH5769. {established: Heb. founded}
He choseH977 DavidH1732 also his servantH5650, and tookH3947 him from the sheepfoldsH4356+H6629:
From followingH310 the ewes great with youngH5763 he broughtH935 him to feedH7462 JacobH3290 his peopleH5971, and IsraelH3478 his inheritanceH5159. {following: Heb. after}
So he fedH7462 them according to the integrityH8537 of his heartH3824; and guidedH5148 them by the skilfulnessH8394 of his handsH3709.

EgyptH4714 was gladH8055 when they departedH3318: for the fearH6343 of them fellH5307 upon them.
And JacobH3290 sentH7971 messengersH4397 before himH6440 to EsauH6215 his brotherH251 unto the landH776 of SeirH8165, the countryH7704 of EdomH123. {country: Heb. field}
Who sentH7971 tokensH226 and wondersH4159 into the midstH8432 of thee, O EgyptH4714, upon PharaohH6547, and upon all his servantsH5650.
And they ascendedH5927 by the southH5045, and cameH935 unto HebronH2275; where AhimanH289, SheshaiH8344, and TalmaiH8526, the childrenH3211 of AnakH6061, were. (Now HebronH2275 was builtH1129 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 beforeH6440 ZoanH6814 in EgyptH4714.)
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SeeH7200, I have madeH5414 thee a godH430 to PharaohH6547: and AaronH175 thy brotherH251 shall be thy prophetH5030.
Thou shalt speakH1696 all that I commandH6680 thee: and AaronH175 thy brotherH251 shall speakH1696 unto PharaohH6547, that he sendH7971 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of his landH776.
And I will hardenH7185 Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820, and multiplyH7235 my signsH226 and my wondersH4159 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
But PharaohH6547 shall not hearkenH8085 unto you, that I may layH5414 my handH3027 upon EgyptH4714, and bring forthH3318 mine armiesH6635, and my peopleH5971 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 by greatH1419 judgmentsH8201.
And the EgyptiansH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I stretch forthH5186 mine handH3027 upon EgyptH4714, and bring outH3318 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from amongH8432 them.
And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 didH6213 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 them, so didH6213 they.
And MosesH4872 was fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and AaronH175 fourscoreH8084 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when they spakeH1696 unto PharaohH6547.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, sayingH559,
When PharaohH6547 shall speakH1696 unto you, sayingH559, ShewH5414 a miracleH4159 for you: then thou shalt sayH559 unto AaronH175, TakeH3947 thy rodH4294, and castH7993 it beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, and it shall become a serpentH8577.
And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 went inH935 unto PharaohH6547, and they didH6213 so as the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680: and AaronH175 cast downH7993 his rodH4294 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, and beforeH6440 his servantsH5650, and it became a serpentH8577.
Then PharaohH6547 also calledH7121 the wise menH2450 and the sorcerersH3784: now the magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714, they also didH6213 in like mannerH3651 with their enchantmentsH3858.
For they cast downH7993 every manH376 his rodH4294, and they became serpentsH8577: but Aaron'sH175 rodH4294 swallowed upH1104 their rodsH4294.
Surely the princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are foolsH191, the counselH6098 of the wiseH2450 counsellorsH3289 of PharaohH6547 is become brutishH1197: how sayH559 ye unto PharaohH6547, I am the sonH1121 of the wiseH2450, the sonH1121 of ancientH6924 kingsH4428?
Or hath GodH430 assayedH5254 to goH935 and takeH3947 him a nationH1471 from the midstH7130 of another nationH1471, by temptationsH4531, by signsH226, and by wondersH4159, and by warH4421, and by a mightyH2389 handH3027, and by a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and by greatH1419 terrorsH4172, according to all that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 for you in EgyptH4714 before your eyesH5869?
The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are become foolsH2973, the princesH8269 of NophH5297 are deceivedH5377; they have also seducedH8582 EgyptH4714, even they that are the stayH6438 of the tribesH7626 thereof. {they that…: or, governors: Heb. corners}
And the LORDH3068 shewedH5414 signsH226 and wondersH4159, greatH1419 and soreH7451, upon EgyptH4714, upon PharaohH6547, and upon all his householdH1004, before our eyesH5869: {sore: Heb. evil}
