1: A ContemplationH4905 of Asaph.H0623 Give ear,H0238 my people,H5971 [to] my law-H8451 InclineH5186 your earsH0241 to the wordsH0561 of my mouth.H6310
2: I will openH6605 in a parable-H4912 my mouthH6310 I will utterH5042 dark sayingsH2420 ofH4480 old,H6924
3: whichH0834 we have heardH8085 and known,H3045 and our fathersH0001 have toldH5608
4: NotH3808 we will hide [them]H3582 from their children,H1121 to the generationH1755 to comeH0314 TellingH5608 the praisesH8416 of Yahweh,H3068 and His strength,H5807 and His wonderful worksH6381 thatH0834 He has done.H6213
5: For He establishedH6965 a testimonyH5715 in Jacob,H3290 and a lawH8451 appointedH7760 in Israel,H3478 whichH0834 He commandedH6680 -H0853 our fathers,H0001 that they should make them knownH3045 to their children,H1121
6: thatH4616 might know [them]H3045 the generationH1755 to comeH0314 the sonsH1121 [who] would be born-H3205 [That] they may ariseH6965 and declare [them]H5608 to their children,H1121
7: that they may setH7760 in God,H0430 their hopeH3689 and notH3808 forgetH7911 the worksH4611 of God,H0410 but His commandments,H4687 keep.H5341
8: And notH3808 may beH1961 like their fathers,H0001 a generation-H1755 stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 a generationH1755 notH3808 [that] did set aright,H3559 its heartH3820 and notH3808 was faithfulH0539 toH0854 GodH0410 whose spirit.H7307
9: The sonsH1121 of Ephraim,H0669 [being] armed,H5401 [and] carryingH7411 bows,H7198 Turned backH2015 in the dayH3117 of battle.H7128
10: NotH3808 they did keepH8104 the covenantH1285 of God,H0430 and in His law-H8451 they refusedH3985 to walk.H1980
11: And forgotH7911 His works,H5949 and His wondersH6381 thatH0834 He had shown them.H7200
12: In the sightH5048 of their fathers,H0001 He didH6213 Marvelous thingsH6382 in the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 [in] the fieldH7704 of Zoan.H6814
13: He dividedH1234 the sea,H3220 and caused them to pass through-H5674 and He made stand upH5324 the watersH4325 likeH3644 a heap.H5067
14: And He led themH5148 with the cloud,H6051 in the daytimeH3119 and allH3605 the nightH3915 with a lightH0216 of fire.H0784
15: He splitH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wilderness,H4057 and gave [them] drinkH8248 like the depthsH8415 in abundance.H7227
16: And He broughtH3318 streamsH5140 out of the rock,H5553 and caused to run downH3381 like riversH5104 waters.H4325
17: But moreH3254 evenH5750 they sinnedH2398 by rebelling againstH4784 the Most HighH5945 in the wilderness.H6723
18: And they testedH5254 GodH0410 in their heartH3824 by asking forH7592 the foodH0400 of their fancy.H5315
19: And Yes they spokeH1696 against God-H0430 they said,H0559 canH3201 GodH0410 prepareH6186 a tableH7979 in the wilderness?H4057
20: behold,H2005 He struckH5221 the rock,H6697 so that gushed out,H2100 the watersH4325 and the streamsH5158 overflowed-H7857 can also?H1571 breadH3899 HeH3201 giveH5414 loH0518 can He provideH3559 meatH7607 for His people?H5971
21: thereforeH3651 heard [this]H8085 YahwehH3068 and was furious-H5674 so a fireH0784 was kindledH5400 against Jacob,H3290 and alsoH1571 angerH0639 came upH5927 against Israel-H3478
22: becauseH3588 notH3808 they did believeH0539 in God,H0430 and notH3808 did trustH0982 in His salvation.H3444
23: And yet He had commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 above,H4605 and the doorsH1817 of heaven,H8064 opened.H6605
24: And Had rained downH4305 on themH5921 mannaH4478 to eat,H0398 and of the breadH1715 of heavenH8064 givenH5414
25: Food-H3899 of mighty [angels]H0047 ateH0398 MenH0376 foodH6720 He sentH7971 themH1992 to the full.H7648
26: He caused to blowH5265 an east windH6921 in the heavens-H8064 and He brought inH5090 by His powerH5797 the south wind.H8486
27: And He rainedH4305 on themH5921 like the dust,H6083 meatH7607 and like the sandH2344 of the seas,H3220 fowlH5775 Feathered.H3671
28: And He let [them] fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their camp,H4264 all aroundH5439 their dwellings.H4908
29: So they ate,H0398 and were filled,H7646 wellH3966 for their own desire-H8378 He gaveH0935 them.H1992
30: NotH3808 they were deprivedH2114 of their craving.H8378 But whileH5750 their food [was]H0400 still in their mouths,H6310
31: and the wrathH0639 of GodH0430 cameH5927 and slewH2026 the stoutest of themH4924 and the choice [men]H0970 of IsraelH3478 struck down.H3766
32: In spiteH3605 of thisH2063 they sinnedH2398 still,H5750 and notH3808 did believeH0539 in His wondrous works.H6381
33: Therefore He consumedH3615 in futility,H1892 their daysH3117 and their yearsH8141 in fear.H0928
34: WhenH0518 He slew themH2026 then they sought HimH1875 and they returnedH7725 and sought earnestlyH7836 for God.H0410
35: And they rememberedH2142 thatH3588 God [was]H0430 their rock,H6697 and the GodH0410 Most HighH5945 their Redeemer.H1350
36: And nevertheless they flattered HimH6601 with their mouth,H6310 and with their tongueH3956 they liedH3576
37: For their heartH3820 notH3808 was steadfastH3559 with HimH5973 norH3808 were they faithfulH0539 in His covenant.H1285
38: But He,H1931 [being full] of compassion,H7349 forgaveH3722 [their] iniquity,H5771 and not-H3808 did destroy [them]H7843 and Yes many a timeH7235 He turned awayH7725 His anger,H0639 and notH3808 did stir upH5782 allH3605 His wrath.H2534
39: For He rememberedH2142 thatH3588 flesh-H1320 they [were but]H1992 a breathH7307 that passes away,H1980 and notH3808 does come again.H7725
40: How oftenH4100 they provoked HimH4784 in the wilderness,H4057 [And] grieved HimH6087 in the desert!H3452
41: and Yes again and againH7725 and they temptedH5254 God,H0410 and the Holy oneH6918 of IsraelH3478 limited.H8428
42: NotH3808 they did rememberH2142 -H0853 His power,H3027 the dayH3117 whenH0834 He redeemed themH6299 fromH4480 the enemy.H6862
43: WhenH0834 He workedH7760 in Egypt,H4714 His signsH0226 and His wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of Zoan,H6814
44: and TurnedH2015 into blood-H1818 their riversH2975 and their streams,H5140 notH1077 that they could drink.H8354
45: He sentH7971 swarms of [flies]H6157 and which devoured themH0398 and frogs,H6854 and which destroyed them.H7843
46: And He gaveH5414 to the caterpillar,H2625 their cropsH2981 and their laborH3018 to the locust.H0697
47: He destroyedH2026 with hail,H1259 their vinesH1612 and their sycamore treesH8256 with frost.H2602
48: And He gave upH5462 to the hail,H1259 their cattleH1165 and their flocksH4735 to fiery lightning.H7565
49: He castH7971 the fiercenessH2740 of His anger,H0639 Wrath,H5678 and indignation,H2195 and trouble,H6869 by sending [among them]H4917 angelsH4397 of destruction.H7451
50: He madeH6424 a pathH5410 for His anger-H0639 notH3808 He did spareH2820 from death,H4194 their soulH5315 but their lifeH2416 to the plague-H1698 gave over.H5462
51: And destroyedH5221 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 in Egypt-H4714 the firstH7225 of [their] strengthH0202 in the tentsH0168 of Ham.H2526
52: But He made go forthH5265 like sheep,H6629 His own peopleH5971 and guided themH5090 like a flockH5739 in the wilderness.H4057
53: And He led themH5148 on safely,H0983 so that not-H3808 they did fearH6342 butH0853 their enemiesH0341 overwhelmedH3680 the sea.H3220
54: And He brought themH0935 toH0413 borderH1366 His holy,H6944 mountain,H2022 thisH2088 [which] had acquiredH7069 His right hand.H3225
55: And He drove outH1644 before themH6440 the nationsH1471 and Allotted themH5307 by survey,H2256 an inheritanceH5159 and made dwellH7931 in their tentsH0168 the tribesH7626 of Israel.H3478
56: And yet they testedH5254 and provokedH4784 -H0853 God,H0430 the Most HighH5945 and His testimonies,H5713 notH3808 did keep.H8104
57: But turned back,H5472 and acted unfaithfullyH0898 like their fathers-H0001 they were turned asideH2015 like a bowH7198 deceitful.H7423
58: For they provoked Him to angerH3707 with their high places,H1116 and with their carved imagesH6456 moved Him to jealousy.H7065
59: When heard [this]H8085 GodH0430 and He was furious,H5674 and abhorredH3988 greatlyH3966 Israel-H3478
60: so that He forsookH5203 the tabernacleH4908 of Shiloh,H7887 the tentH0168 He had placedH7931 among men-H0120
61: and deliveredH5414 into captivity,H7628 His strengthH5797 and His gloryH8597 into the handH3027 of enemy.H6862
62: And He gave overH5462 to the sword-H2719 His peopleH5971 and with His inheritanceH5159 was furious.H5674
63: Their young men-H0970 consumedH0398 the fireH0784 and their maidensH1330 notH3808 were given in marriage.H1984
64: Their priestsH3548 by the sword-H2719 fellH5307 and their widowsH0490 noH3808 made lamentation.H1058
65: And awokeH3364 as [from] sleep,H3463 the LordH0136 Like a mighty manH1368 who shoutsH7442 because of wine.H3196
66: And He beatH5221 His enemiesH6862 back-H0268 to a reproach.H2781 PerpetualH5769 He putH5414
67: Moreover He rejectedH3988 the tentH0168 of Joseph,H3130 and the tribeH7626 of Ephraim,H0669 notH3808 did choose.H0977
68: But choseH0977 -H0853 the tribeH7626 of Judah,H3063 -H0853 MountH2022 ZionH6726 whichH0834 He loved.H0157
69: And He builtH1129 likeH3644 the heightsH7311 His sanctuaryH4720 Like the earthH0776 which He has establishedH3245 forever.H5769
70: And He choseH0977 DavidH1732 His servant,H5650 and took himH3947 fromH4356 the sheepfolds.H6629
71: From followingH0310 the ewes that had youngH5763 He brought himH0935 to shepherdH7462 JacobH3290 His people,H5971 and IsraelH3478 His inheritance.H5159
72: So he shepherded themH7462 according to the integrityH8537 of his heart-H3824 and by the skillfulnessH8394 of his handsH3709 guided them.H5148
