Psalm seventy eight from 57 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 2: the King James's version says, give ear, o, my people, 58 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: to my law. Incline your ears to the words of 59 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable 60 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 2: I will utter dark sayings of old, which we have 61 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We 62 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: will not hide them from their children, shewing to the 63 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 2: generation to come the praises of the Lord and his 64 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: strength and his wonderful works that he hath done. For 65 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: he established a testimony in Jacob and a potted, a 66 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they 67 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 2: should make them known to their children, that the generation 68 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: to come might know them, even the children which should 69 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: be born, who should arise and declare them to their children, 70 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: that they might set their hope in God, and not 71 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: fear the works of God, but keep His commandments, and 72 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: might not be as their fathers. A stubborn and rebellious generation, 73 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose 74 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: spirit was not steadfast with God. The children of Ephram, 75 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day 76 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: of battle. They kept not the covenant of God, and 77 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: refused to walk in his law, and forgot his works 78 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: and his wonders. That he had shoot them. Marvelous things 79 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: did he in the sight of their fathers, in the 80 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: land of Egypt, in the field of his own He 81 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: divided the sea and caused them to pass through, and 82 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 2: he made the waters to stand as an heap. In 83 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: the daytime, also he led them with a cloud, and 84 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: all the night with the light of fire. He clave 85 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as 86 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: out of the great depths. He brought streams also out 87 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 88 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the 89 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: most high in the wilderness. And they tempted God in 90 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 2: their heart by asking meat for their lust. Yea, they 91 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: spake against God. They said, can God furnish a table 92 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: in the wilderness? Behold, he smote the rock that the 93 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he give bread? Also? 94 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: Can he provide flesh for his people? Therefore the Lord 95 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: heard this and was wroth. So a fire was kindled 96 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel, because 97 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: they believed not in God and trusted not in his salvation. 98 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: Though He had commanded the clouds from above and opened 99 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: the doors of heaven, and had rained down manna upon 100 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: them to eat, and had given them of the corn 101 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: of heaven, man did eat angels food. He sent them 102 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: meat to the full. He caused an east wind to 103 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: blow in the heaven, and by his power he brought 104 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: in the south wind. He rained flesh also upon them 105 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: as dust, and feathered fowl like as the sand of 106 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: the sea, and he let it fall in the midst 107 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 2: of their camp round about their habitations. So they did 108 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: eat and were well filled, for He gave them their 109 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: own desire. They were not estranged from their lust. But 110 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: while their meat was yet in their mouths, the wrath 111 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 2: of God came upon them and slew the fattest of them, 112 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: and smote down the chosen men of Israel. For all 113 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 2: this they sinned still and believed not for his wondrous works. 114 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their 115 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: years in trouble. When he slew them, then they sought him, 116 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: and they returned and inquired early after God. And they 117 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: remembered that God was their rock and the High God 118 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 2: their redeemer. Nevertheless, they did flatter him with their mouth, 119 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: and they lied unto him with their tongues. For their 120 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: heart was not right with him. Neither were they steadfast 121 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: in his covenant. But he, being full of compassion, forgave 122 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: their iniquity and destroyed them. Not Yea, many a time 123 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 2: turned he his anger away and did not stir up 124 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: all his wrath, for he remembered that they were but flesh, 125 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: a wind that passeth away and cometh not again. How 126 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: oft did they provoke him in the wilderness and grieve 127 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: him in the desert. Yea, they turned back and tempted 128 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,239 Speaker 2: God and limited the Holy One of Israel. They remembered 129 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 2: not his hand nor the day when he delivered them 130 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: from the enemy. How he had wrought his signs in 131 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 2: Egypt and his wonders in the field of z Own, 132 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: and had turned the rivers into blood, and their floods 133 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: that they could not drink. He sent divers, sorts of 134 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: flies among them, which devoured them, and frogs which destroyed them. 135 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their 136 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 2: labor unto the locusts. He destroyed their vines with hail, 137 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: and their sycamore trees with frost. He gave up their 138 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 139 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, 140 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 2: and indignation, and trouble. By sending evil angels among them, 141 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: he made a way to his anger. He spared not 142 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: their soul from death, but gave their life over to 143 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: the pestilence, and smote all first born in Egypt, the 144 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 2: chief of their strength, in the tabernacles of Ham. But 145 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 2: made his own people to go forth like sheep, and 146 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: guided them in the wilderness like a flock. And he 147 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: led them on safely, so that they feared not. But 148 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 2: the sea overwhelmed their enemies, and he brought them to 149 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain which 150 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: his right hand had purchased. He cast out the heathen 151 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: also before them, and divided them in inheritance by line, 152 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 2: and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 153 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 2: Yet they tempted and provoked the most High God, and 154 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: kept not his testimonies, but turned back and dealt unfaithfully. 155 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: Like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 156 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: For they provoked him to anger with their high places, 157 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. When 158 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 2: God heard this, he was wroth and greatly abhorred Israel, 159 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: so that he forstook the Tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent 160 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: which he had placed among men, and delivered his strength 161 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 2: into captivity and his glory into the enemy's hand. He 162 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: gave his people over also unto the sword, and was 163 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: wroth with his inheritance. The fire consumed their young men, 164 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 2: and their maidens were not given to marriage. Their priests 165 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 2: fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation. 166 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, and 167 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 2: like a mighty man that shouteth by the reason of wine, 168 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 2: and he smote his enemies in the hinder parts.
