| 3 | Which we have heard and known, Our fathers have told us. | Ps 44:1 Ps 48:8 Ex 12:26 Ex 12:27 Ex 13:8 Ex 13:14 Ex 13:15 |
| 4 | We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, His strength, and his wondrous works that he has done. | Ps 145:4-6 Dt 4:9 Dt 6:7 Jl 1:3 |
| 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; | Ps 81:5 Ps 119:152 Ps 147:19 Dt 4:45 Dt 6:7 Dt 11:19 Isa 8:20 Ro 3:2 1Jn 5:9-12 |
| 6 | That the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; Who should arise and tell their children, | Ps 48:13 Ps 71:18 Ps 102:18 Ps 145:4 Es 9:28 |
| 7 | That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments, | Ps 40:4 Ps 62:5 Ps 91:14 Ps 130:6 Ps 130:7 Ps 146:5 Jer 17:7 Jer 17:8 1Pe 1:21 |
| 8 | And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that didn`t make their hearts loyal, Whose spirit was not steadfast with God. | Ps 68:6 Ps 106:7 Ex 32:9 Ex 33:3 Ex 33:5 Ex 34:9 Dt 9:6 Dt 9:13 Dt 31:27 2Ki 17:14 Ezk 2:3-8 Ezk 20:8 Ezk 20:18 Mt 23:31-33 Ac 7:51 |
| 9 | The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle. | Dt 1:41-44 Jsh 17:16-18 1Sa 4:10 1Sa 31:1 |
| 10 | They didn`t keep the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law. | Dt 31:16 Dt 31:20 Jg 2:10-12 2Ki 17:14 2Ki 17:15 Ne 9:26-29 Jer 31:32 |
| 11 | They forgot his doings, His wondrous works that he had showed them. | Ps 78:7 Ps 106:13 Ps 106:21 Ps 106:22 Dt 32:18 Jer 2:32 |
| 12 | Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. | Ps 78:42-50 Ps 105:27-38 Ps 135:9 Ex 7:1-12 Dt 4:34 Dt 6:22 Ne 9:10 |
| 13 | He split the sea, and caused them to pass through; He made the waters stand as a heap. | Ps 66:6 Ps 106:9 Ps 106:10 Ps 136:13-15 Ex 14:1-15 Isa 63:13 1Co 10:2 1Co 10:3 |
| 14 | In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, All the night with a light of fire. | Ps 105:39 Ex 13:21 Ex 13:22 Ex 14:24 Ex 40:35-38 Ne 9:12 Ne 9:19 |
| 15 | He split rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths. | Ps 105:41 Ps 114:8 Ex 17:6 Nm 20:11 Isa 41:18 Isa 43:20 Jn 7:37 Jn 7:38 1Co 10:4 Rev 22:1 Rev 22:17 |
| 16 | He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers. | Ps 105:41 Dt 8:15 Dt 9:21 |
| 17 | Yet they still went on to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert. | Ps 78:32 Ps 95:8-10 Ps 106:13-32 Dt 9:8 Dt 9:12-22 Heb 3:16-19 |
| 18 | They tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire. | Ps 106:14 Ps 106:15 Ex 16:2 Ex 16:3 Nm 11:4 1Co 10:6 Jm 4:2 Jm 4:3 |
| 19 | Yes, they spoke against God. They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? | Ex 16:8-10 Nm 21:5 2Ch 32:19 Jb 34:37 Ro 9:20 Rev 13:6 |
| 20 | Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, Streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?" | Ex 17:6 Ex 17:7 Nm 20:11 |
| 21 | Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, Anger also went up against Israel, | Ps 78:31 Nm 11:10 1Co 10:5 1Co 10:11 Jud 1:5 |
| 22 | Because they didn`t believe in God, And didn`t trust in his salvation. | Ps 106:24 Isa 7:9 Heb 3:12 Heb 3:18 Heb 3:19 Heb 11:6 1Jn 5:10 Jud 1:5 |
| 23 | Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven. | Ps 33:9 Isa 5:6 |
| 24 | He rained down manna on them to eat, And gave them food from the sky. | Ps 68:9 Ps 105:40 Ex 16:4 Ex 16:14 Dt 8:3 Ne 9:15 Ne 9:20 Jn 6:31-71 1Co 10:3 |
| 25 | Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full. | Ps 103:20 |

| 27 | He rained also flesh on them as the dust; Winged birds as the sand of the seas. | Ex 16:12 Ex 16:13 Nm 11:18 Nm 11:19 Nm 11:32 |
| 28 | He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Around their habitations. |
| 29 | So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire. | Ps 106:15 Nm 11:20 |
| 30 | They didn`t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths, | Nm 11:33 Nm 11:34 Nm 22:20-22 Pr 1:32 Lk 16:19-23 |
| 31 | When the anger of God went up against them, And killed some of the fattest of them, And struck down the young men of Israel. |
| 32 | For all this they still sinned, And didn`t believe in his wondrous works. | Nm 14:1-45 Nm 16:1-17 Nm 21:1-6 Nm 25:1-18 Ezk 20:13 |
| 33 | Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, And their years in terror. | Ps 90:7-9 Nm 14:29 Nm 14:35 Nm 26:64 Nm 26:65 Dt 2:14-16 |
| 34 | When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly. | Nm 21:7 Jg 3:8 Jg 3:9 Jg 3:12-15 Jg 4:3 Jg 10:7-10 Isa 26:6 Jer 22:23 Hos 5:15 Hos 7:14 |
| 35 | They remembered that God was their rock, The Most High God their redeemer. | Ps 78:7 Ps 78:11 Ps 78:42 Ps 106:13 Ps 106:21 |
| 36 | But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied to him with their tongue. | Ps 106:12 Ps 106:13 Dt 5:28 Dt 5:29 Isa 29:13 Ezk 33:31 Hos 11:12 |
| 37 | For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant. | Ps 119:80 Hos 7:14 Hos 7:16 Hos 10:2 Ac 8:21 |
| 38 | But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn`t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, And didn`t stir up all his wrath. | Ps 106:43-45 Ex 34:6-9 Nm 14:18-20 Nm 16:44-48 Isa 44:21 Isa 44:22 |
| 39 | He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes away, and doesn`t come again. | Ps 103:14-16 Gn 6:3 Jn 3:6 |
| 40 | How often did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert! | Ps 78:17 Ps 95:8-10 Ps 106:14-33 Nm 14:11 Dt 9:21 Dt 9:22 |
| 41 | They turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel. | Nm 14:4 Nm 14:22 Dt 6:16 Ac 7:39 Heb 3:8-11 2Pe 2:21 2Pe 2:22 |
| 42 | They didn`t remember his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary; | Ps 78:11 Ps 78:21 Ps 78:22 Ps 136:10-15 Ex 13:9 Isa 11:11 Jer 32:21 |
| 43 | How he set his signs in Egypt, His wonders in the field of Zoan, | Ps 105:27-38 Ps 135:9 Ex 3:19 Ex 3:20 Dt 4:34 Dt 6:22 Ne 9:10 |
| 44 | Turned their rivers into blood, Their streams, so that they could not drink. | Ps 105:29 Ex 7:17-21 Rev 16:3-6 |
| 45 | He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; Frogs, which destroyed them. | Ps 105:31 Ex 8:21-24 |
| 46 | He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, Their labor to the locust. | Ps 105:34 Ps 105:35 Ex 10:12-15 Jl 1:4-7 Jl 2:25 Am 7:1 Am 7:2 Rev 9:2-11 |
| 47 | He destroyed their vines with hail, Their sycamore-fig trees with frost. | Ps 105:32 Ps 105:33 Ex 9:18-34 |
| 48 | He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts. | Ex 9:28 |
| 49 | He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, indignation, and trouble, And a band of angels of evil. | Ps 11:6 Jb 20:23 Isa 42:25 Lam 4:11 Zep 3:8 Ro 2:8 Ro 2:9 |
| 50 | He made a path for his anger. He didn`t spare their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence, | Jb 27:22 Ezk 5:11 Ezk 7:4 Ezk 7:9 Ezk 8:18 Ezk 9:10 Ro 8:32 2Pe 2:4 2Pe 2:5 |
| 51 | And struck all the firstborn in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham. | Ps 105:36 Ps 135:8 Ps 136:10 Ex 12:12 Ex 12:29 Ex 12:30 Ex 13:15 Heb 11:28 |
| 52 | But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock. | Ps 77:20 Ps 105:37 Ne 9:12 Isa 63:11-14 |
| 53 | He led them safely, so that they weren`t afraid, But the sea overwhelmed their enemies. | Ex 14:15 Ex 14:19 Ex 14:20 Heb 11:29 |
| 54 | He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had taken. | Ex 15:13 Ex 15:17 Dn 9:16-20 Dn 11:45 |
| 55 | He also drove out the nations before them, Allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. | Ps 44:2 Ps 105:44 Ps 105:45 Ps 135:10-12 Ps 136:18-22 Jsh 6:1-21 Ne 9:22-25 |
| 56 | Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And didn`t keep his testimonies; | Ps 78:40 Ps 78:41 Dt 31:16-20 Dt 32:15-21 Jg 2:11 Jg 2:12 2Ki 17:7-23 Ne 9:25 Ne 9:26 Ezk 16:15-26 |
| 57 | But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow. | Ps 78:41 Jg 3:5-7 Jg 3:12-7 Ezk 20:27 Ezk 20:28 |
| 58 | For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their engraved images. | Lv 26:30 Nm 33:52 Dt 12:2 Dt 12:4 Ezk 20:28 Ezk 20:29 |
| 59 | When God heard this, he was angry, And greatly abhorred Israel; | Ps 11:4 Ps 14:2-5 Gn 18:20 Gn 18:21 |
| 60 | So that he forsook the tent of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men; | Jsh 18:1 1Sa 1:3 1Sa 4:4-11 Jer 7:12-14 Jer 26:6-9 |
| 61 | And delivered his strength into captivity, His glory into the adversary`s hand. | Ps 132:8 Jg 18:30 1Sa 5:1 1Sa 5:2 2Ch 6:41 |
| 62 | He also gave his people over to the sword, And was angry with his inheritance. | 1Sa 4:2 1Sa 4:10 1Sa 4:11 |
| 63 | Fire devoured their young men; Their virgins had no wedding song. | Ps 78:21 Dt 29:20 Dt 32:22 |
| 64 | Their priests fell by the sword; Their widows made no lamentation. | 1Sa 2:33 1Sa 2:34 1Sa 4:11 1Sa 4:17 1Sa 22:18 1Sa 22:19 |
| 65 | Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine. | Ps 7:6 Ps 44:23 Isa 51:9 |
| 66 | He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach. | 1Sa 5:6 1Sa 6:4 Jb 40:12 |
| 67 | Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, And didn`t choose the tribe of Ephraim, | 1Sa 6:21 1Sa 7:1 2Sa 6:2 2Sa 6:17 |
| 68 | But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved. | Gn 49:8-10 Ru 4:17-22 1Sa 16:1 2Ch 6:6 |
| 69 | He built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he has established forever. | 1Ki 6:2 1Ki 9:8 2Ch 3:4 |
| 70 | He also chose David his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds; | Ps 89:19 Ps 89:20 1Sa 16:11 1Sa 16:12 2Sa 3:18 2Sa 6:21 Ac 13:22 |
| 71 | From following the ewes that have their young he brought him To be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance. | Gn 33:13 Isa 40:11 |
| 72 | So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. Psalm 79 A Psalm by Asaph. | Ps 75:2 Ps 101:1-8 2Sa 8:15 1Ki 9:4 1Ki 15:5 Isa 11:2-4 Ac 13:22 Ac 13:36 |
