17
The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
18
The voice of thy thunder
was
in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth
trembled and shook.
19
Thy way
is
in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
20
Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
CHAPTER 78
Give ear, O my people,
to
my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
3
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4
We will not hide
them
from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises
of the L
ORD
, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
5
For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded
our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
6
That the generation to come might know
them, even
the children
which
should be born;
who
should arise and declare
them
to their children:
7
That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his
commandments:
8
And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation
that
set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9
The children of Ephraim,
being
armed,
and
carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
11
And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
12
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt,
in
the field of
Zoan.
13
He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as
an heap.
14
In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15
He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave
them
drink as
out of
the great depths.
16
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17
And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
18
And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
19
Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20
Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can
he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
