¹ Maschil of Asaph 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, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, And his strength, And his wondrous 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 tell 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 they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had shewed them

¹² Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan

¹³ He clave the sea, And caused them to pass through; And he made the waters to stand as an heap

¹⁴ In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire

¹⁵ He clave rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers

¹⁷ Yet went they on still to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, That waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; can he give bread also? will he provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore the LORD heard, And was wroth: : And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel;

²² Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation

²³ Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven;

²⁴ And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them of the corn of heaven

²⁵ Man did eat the bread of the mighty: He sent them meat to the full

²⁶ He caused the east wind to blow in the heaven: : And by his power he guided the south wind

²⁷ He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged fowl as the sand of the seas:

²⁸ And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations

²⁹ So they did eat, And were well filled; And he gave them that they lusted after

³⁰ They were not estranged from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel

³² For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works

³³ Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in terror

³⁴ When he slew them, then they inquired after him: : And they returned and sought God early

³⁵ And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer

³⁶ But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue

³⁷ For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant

³⁸ But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, And destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath

³⁹ And he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, And cometh not again

⁴⁰ How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!

⁴¹ And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel

⁴² They remembered not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary

⁴³ How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan;

⁴⁴ And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, That they could not drink

⁴⁵ He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them

⁴⁶ He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, And their labour unto the locust

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore trees with frost

⁴⁸ He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts

⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, And indignation, And trouble, a band of angels of evil

⁵⁰ He made a path for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

⁵¹ And smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham:

⁵² But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock

⁵³ And he led them safely, so that they feared not: But the sea overwhelmed their enemies

⁵⁴ And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased

⁵⁵ He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;

⁵⁷ But turned back, And dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images

⁵⁹ When God heard this, he was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel:

⁶⁰ So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

⁶¹ And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the adversary's hand

⁶² He gave his people over also unto the sword; And was wroth with his inheritance

⁶³ Fire devoured their young men; And their maidens had no marriage-song

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword; And their widows made no lamentation

⁶⁵ Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine

⁶⁶ And he smote his adversaries backward: He put them to a perpetual reproach

⁶⁷ Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim;

⁶⁸ But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved

⁶⁹ And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he hath established for ever

⁷⁰ He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds:

⁷¹ From following the ewes that give suck he brought him, to feed Jacob his people, And Israel his inheritance

⁷² So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
