Psalm 78:24-72
New American Standard Bible
24 He (A)rained down manna upon them to eat,
And gave them [a](B)food from heaven.
25 Man ate the bread of [b]angels;
He sent them [c]food [d](C)in abundance.
26 He (D)made the east wind blow in the sky
And by His [e]power He directed the south wind.
27 When He rained meat upon them like the dust,
Even (E)winged fowl like the sand of the seas,
28 He let them fall in the midst of [f]their camp,
All around their dwellings.
29 So they (F)ate and were well filled,
And He [g]satisfied their longing.
30 [h]Yet before they had abandoned their longing,
(G)While their food was in their mouths,
31 The (H)anger of God rose against them
And killed [i]some of their (I)strongest ones,
And [j]subdued the choice men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this they (J)still sinned
And (K)did not believe in His wonderful works.
33 So He brought (L)their days to an end in futility,
And their years to an end in sudden terror.
34 When He killed them, then they (M)sought Him,
And they returned and searched (N)diligently for God;
35 And they remembered that God was their (O)rock,
And the Most High God their (P)Redeemer.
36 But they (Q)flattered Him with their mouth
And (R)lied to Him with their tongue.
37 For their heart was not (S)steadfast toward Him,
Nor were they faithful with His covenant.
38 But He, being (T)compassionate, [k](U)forgave their wrongdoing and did not destroy them;
And often He [l](V)restrained His anger
And did not stir up all His wrath.
39 So (W)He remembered that they were only (X)flesh,
A [m](Y)wind that passes and does not return.
40 How often they (Z)rebelled against Him in the wilderness
And (AA)grieved Him in the (AB)desert!
41 Again and again they [n](AC)tempted God,
And pained the (AD)Holy One of Israel.
42 They (AE)did not remember (AF)His [o]power,
The day when He (AG)redeemed them from the enemy,
43 When He performed His (AH)signs in Egypt
And His (AI)marvels in the field of Zoan,
44 And (AJ)turned their rivers to blood,
And their streams, so that they could not drink.
45 He sent swarms of (AK)flies among them that devoured them,
And (AL)frogs that destroyed them.
46 He also gave their crops to the (AM)grasshopper
And the product of their labor to the (AN)locust.
47 He [p]destroyed their vines with (AO)hailstones
And their sycamore trees with frost.
48 He also turned their (AP)cattle over to the hailstones,
And their herds to bolts of lightning.
49 He (AQ)sent His burning anger upon them,
Fury and indignation and trouble,
A band of [q]destroying angels.
50 He leveled a path for His anger;
He did not spare their souls from death,
But (AR)turned their lives over to the plague,
51 And (AS)struck all the firstborn in Egypt,
The (AT)first and best of their vigor in the tents of (AU)Ham.
52 But He (AV)led His own people out like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness (AW)like a flock;
53 He led them (AX)safely, so that they did not fear;
But (AY)the sea engulfed their enemies.
54 So (AZ)He brought them to His holy [r]land,
To this [s](BA)hill country (BB)which His right hand had gained.
55 He also (BC)drove out the nations from them
And (BD)apportioned them as an inheritance by measurement,
And had the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
56 Yet they [t](BE)tempted and (BF)rebelled against the Most High God
And did not keep His testimonies,
57 But turned back and (BG)acted treacherously like their fathers;
They (BH)turned aside like a treacherous bow.
58 For they (BI)provoked Him with their (BJ)high places
And (BK)moved Him to jealousy with their (BL)carved images.
59 When God heard them, He [u]was filled with (BM)wrath
And He utterly (BN)rejected Israel;
60 So that He (BO)abandoned the (BP)dwelling place at Shiloh,
The tent [v]which He had pitched among people,
61 And He gave up His (BQ)strength to captivity
And His glory (BR)into the hand of the enemy.
62 He also (BS)turned His people over to the sword,
And [w]was filled with wrath at His inheritance.
63 (BT)Fire devoured [x]His young men,
And [y]His (BU)virgins had no wedding songs.
64 [z]His (BV)priests fell by the sword,
And [aa]His (BW)widows could not weep.
65 Then the Lord (BX)awoke as if from sleep,
Like a (BY)warrior [ab]overcome by wine.
66 He [ac](BZ)drove His adversaries backward;
He put on them an everlasting disgrace.
67 He also (CA)rejected the tent of Joseph,
And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68 But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount (CB)Zion, which He loved.
69 And He (CC)built His sanctuary like the heights,
Like the earth which He has established forever.
70 He also (CD)chose His servant David
And took him from the sheepfolds;
71 From [ad](CE)the care of the [ae]ewes (CF)with nursing lambs He brought him
To (CG)shepherd Jacob His people,
And Israel (CH)His inheritance.
72 So he shepherded them according to the (CI)integrity of his heart,
And guided them with his skillful hands.

Psalm 78:24-72
New International Version
Psalm 78:24-72
New International Version
24 he rained down manna(A) for the people to eat,
he gave them the grain of heaven.
25 Human beings ate the bread of angels;
he sent them all the food they could eat.
26 He let loose the east wind(B) from the heavens
and by his power made the south wind blow.
27 He rained meat down on them like dust,
birds(C) like sand on the seashore.
28 He made them come down inside their camp,
all around their tents.
29 They ate till they were gorged—(D)
he had given them what they craved.
30 But before they turned from what they craved,
even while the food was still in their mouths,(E)
31 God’s anger rose against them;
he put to death the sturdiest(F) among them,
cutting down the young men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;(G)
in spite of his wonders,(H) they did not believe.(I)
33 So he ended their days in futility(J)
and their years in terror.
34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek(K) him;
they eagerly turned to him again.
35 They remembered that God was their Rock,(L)
that God Most High was their Redeemer.(M)
36 But then they would flatter him with their mouths,(N)
lying to him with their tongues;
37 their hearts were not loyal(O) to him,
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38 Yet he was merciful;(P)
he forgave(Q) their iniquities(R)
and did not destroy them.
Time after time he restrained his anger(S)
and did not stir up his full wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,(T)
a passing breeze(U) that does not return.
40 How often they rebelled(V) against him in the wilderness(W)
and grieved him(X) in the wasteland!
41 Again and again they put God to the test;(Y)
they vexed the Holy One of Israel.(Z)
42 They did not remember(AA) his power—
the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,(AB)
43 the day he displayed his signs(AC) in Egypt,
his wonders(AD) in the region of Zoan.
44 He turned their river into blood;(AE)
they could not drink from their streams.
45 He sent swarms of flies(AF) that devoured them,
and frogs(AG) that devastated them.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper,(AH)
their produce to the locust.(AI)
47 He destroyed their vines with hail(AJ)
and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
48 He gave over their cattle to the hail,
their livestock(AK) to bolts of lightning.
49 He unleashed against them his hot anger,(AL)
his wrath, indignation and hostility—
a band of destroying angels.(AM)
50 He prepared a path for his anger;
he did not spare them from death
but gave them over to the plague.
51 He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,(AN)
the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.(AO)
52 But he brought his people out like a flock;(AP)
he led them like sheep through the wilderness.
53 He guided them safely, so they were unafraid;
but the sea engulfed(AQ) their enemies.(AR)
54 And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
to the hill country his right hand(AS) had taken.
55 He drove out nations(AT) before them
and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;(AU)
he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
56 But they put God to the test
and rebelled against the Most High;
they did not keep his statutes.
57 Like their ancestors(AV) they were disloyal and faithless,
as unreliable as a faulty bow.(AW)
58 They angered him(AX) with their high places;(AY)
they aroused his jealousy with their idols.(AZ)
59 When God heard(BA) them, he was furious;(BB)
he rejected Israel(BC) completely.
60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,(BD)
the tent he had set up among humans.(BE)
61 He sent the ark of his might(BF) into captivity,(BG)
his splendor into the hands of the enemy.
62 He gave his people over to the sword;(BH)
he was furious with his inheritance.(BI)
63 Fire consumed(BJ) their young men,
and their young women had no wedding songs;(BK)
64 their priests were put to the sword,(BL)
and their widows could not weep.
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,(BM)
as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.
66 He beat back his enemies;
he put them to everlasting shame.(BN)
67 Then he rejected the tents of Joseph,
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;(BO)
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,(BP)
Mount Zion,(BQ) which he loved.
69 He built his sanctuary(BR) like the heights,
like the earth that he established forever.
70 He chose David(BS) his servant
and took him from the sheep pens;
71 from tending the sheep(BT) he brought him
to be the shepherd(BU) of his people Jacob,
of Israel his inheritance.
72 And David shepherded them with integrity of heart;(BV)
with skillful hands he led them.
