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.
Querverweise zu Psalm 78,71 Ps 78,71
And he saidH559 unto him, My lordH113 knowethH3045 that the childrenH3206 are tenderH7390, and the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 with youngH5763 are with me: and if men should overdriveH1849 them oneH259 dayH3117, all the flockH6629 will dieH4191.
For promotionH7311+H2022 cometh neither from the eastH4161, nor from the westH4628, nor from the southH4057. {south: Heb. desert}
Also in time pastH865+H8032, when SaulH7586 was kingH4428 over us, thou wast he that leddest outH3318 and broughtest inH935 IsraelH3478: and the LORDH3068 saidH559 to thee, Thou shalt feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and thou shalt be a captainH5057 over IsraelH3478.
He shall feedH7462 his flockH5739 like a shepherdH7462: he shall gatherH6908 the lambsH2922 with his armH2220, and carryH5375 them in his bosomH2436, and shall gently leadH5095 those that are with youngH5763. {that…: or, that give suck}
And moreover in timeH8543 pastH8032, even when SaulH7586 was kingH4428, thou wast he that leddest outH3318 and broughtest inH935 IsraelH3478: and the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 saidH559 unto thee, Thou shalt feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and thou shalt be rulerH5057 over my peopleH1571 IsraelH3478. {in time…: Heb. both yesterday and the third day} {feed: or, rule}
He raiseth upH6965 the poorH1800 out of the dustH6083, and liftethH7311 the needyH34 out of the dunghillH830;
And I will set upH6965 oneH259 shepherdH7462 over them, and he shall feedH7462 them, even my servantH5650 DavidH1732; he shall feedH7462 them, and he shall be their shepherdH7462.
And I the LORDH3068 will be their GodH430, and my servantH5650 DavidH1732 a princeH5387 amongH8432 them; I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
The LORDH3068 maketh poorH3423, and maketh richH6238: he bringeth lowH8213, andH637 lifteth upH7311.
But thou, BethlehemH1035 EphratahH672, though thou be littleH6810 among the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063, yet out of thee shall he come forthH3318 unto me that is to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478; whose goings forthH4163 have been from of oldH6924, from everlastingH3117+H5769. {everlasting: Heb. the days of eternity}
Therefore will he give them upH5414, until the timeH6256 that she which travailethH3205 hath brought forthH3205: then the remnantH3499 of his brethrenH251 shall returnH7725 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And he shall standH5975 and feedH7462 in the strengthH5797 of the LORDH3068, in the majestyH1347 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430; and they shall abideH3427: for now shall he be greatH1431 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776. {feed or, rule}
He raiseth upH6965 the poorH1800 out of the dustH6083, and lifteth upH7311 the beggarH34 from the dunghillH830, to setH3427 them among princesH5081, and to make them inheritH5157 the throneH3678 of gloryH3519: for the pillarsH4690 of the earthH776 are the LORD'SH3068, and he hath setH7896 the worldH8398 upon them.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 my GodH430; FeedH7462 the flockH6629 of the slaughterH2028;
Whose possessorsH7069 slayH2026 them, and hold themselves not guiltyH816: and they that sellH4376 them sayH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068; for I am richH6238: and their own shepherdsH7462 pityH2550 them not.
For I will no more pityH2550 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: but, lo, I will deliverH4672 the menH120 every oneH376 into his neighbour'sH7453 handH3027, and into the handH3027 of his kingH4428: and they shall smiteH3807 the landH776, and out of their handH3027 I will not deliverH5337 them. {deliver: Heb. make to be found}
And I will feedH7462 the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028, even youH3651, O poorH6041 of the flockH6629. And I tookH3947 unto me twoH8147 stavesH4731; the oneH259 I calledH7121 BeautyH5278, and the otherH259 I calledH7121 BandsH2254; and I fedH7462 the flockH6629. {even…: or, verily the poor} {Bands: or, Binders}
ThreeH7969 shepherdsH7462 also I cut offH3582 in oneH259 monthH3391; and my soulH5315 lothedH7114 them, and their soulH5315 also abhorredH973 me. {lothed…: Heb. was straightened for them}
Then saidH559 I, I will not feedH7462 you: that that diethH4191, let it dieH4191; and that that is to be cut offH3582, let it be cut offH3582; and let the restH7604 eatH398 every oneH802 the fleshH1320 of anotherH7468. {another: Heb. his fellow, or, neighbour}
And I tookH3947 my staffH4731, even BeautyH5278, and cut it asunderH1438, that I might breakH6565 my covenantH1285 which I had madeH3772 with all the peopleH5971.
And it was brokenH6565 in that dayH3117: and so the poorH6041 of the flockH6629 that waitedH8104 upon me knewH3045 that it was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. {so…: or, the poor of the flock, etc. certainly knew}
And I saidH559 unto them, If ye thinkH5869 goodH2896, giveH3051 me my priceH7939; and if not, forbearH2308. So they weighedH8254 for my priceH7939 thirtyH7970 pieces of silverH3701. {If ye…: Heb. If it be good in your eyes}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, CastH7993 it unto the potterH3335: a goodlyH145 priceH3366 that I was prised atH3365 of them. And I tookH3947 the thirtyH7970 pieces of silverH3701, and castH7993 them to the potterH3335 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Then I cut asunderH1438 mine otherH8145 staffH4731, even BandsH2254, that I might breakH6565 the brotherhoodH264 between JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478. {Bands: or, Binders}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, TakeH3947 unto thee yet the instrumentsH3627 of a foolishH196 shepherdH7462.
For, lo, I will raise upH6965 a shepherdH7462 in the landH776, which shall not visitH6485 those that be cut offH3582, neither shall seekH1245 the young oneH5289, nor healH7495 that that is brokenH7665, nor feedH3557 that that standethH5324 still: but he shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of the fatH1277, and tearH6561 their clawsH6541 in piecesH6561. {cut off: or, hidden} {feed: or, bear}
WoeH1945 to the idolH457 shepherdH7473 that leavethH5800 the flockH6629! the swordH2719 shall be upon his armH2220, and upon his rightH3225 eyeH5869: his armH2220 shall be cleanH3001 dried upH3001, and his rightH3225 eyeH5869 shall be utterlyH3543 darkenedH3543.
I have madeH6213 the earthH776, the manH120 and the beastH929 that are uponH6440 the groundH776, by my greatH1419 powerH3581 and by my outstretchedH5186 armH2220, and have givenH5414 it unto whom it seemedH5869 meetH3474 unto me.
AndG2532 thouG4771 BethlehemG965, in the landG1093 of JudaG2448, artG1488 notG3760 the leastG1646 amongG1722 the princesG2232 of JudaG2448: forG1063 out ofG1537 theeG4675 shall comeG1831 a GovernorG2233, thatG3748 shall ruleG4165 myG3450 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474. {rule: or, feed}
And now have I givenH5414 all these landsH776 into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650; and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 have I givenH5414 him also to serveH5647 him.
SoG3767 whenG3753 they had dinedG709, JesusG2424 saithG3004 to SimonG4613 PeterG4074, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovest thouG25 meG3165 more thanG4119 theseG5130? He saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962; thouG4771 knowestG1492 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. He saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG1006 myG3450 lambsG721.
He saithG3004 to himG846 againG3825 the second timeG1208, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovest thouG25 meG3165? He saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962; thouG4771 knowestG1492 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. He saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG4165 myG3450 sheepG4263.
He saithG3004 unto himG846 the thirdG5154 time, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovestG5368 thou meG3165? PeterG4074 was grievedG3076 becauseG3754 he saidG2036 unto himG846 the thirdG5154 time, LovestG5368 thou meG3165? AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto himG846, LordG2962, thouG4771 knowestG1492 all thingsG3956; thouG4771 knowestG1097 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG1006 myG3450 sheepG4263.
