Psalm 78

Hear my law, O my people  *

incline your ears unto the words of my mouth.

I will open my mouth in a parable *

I will declare hard sentences of old;

Which we have heard and known *

and such as our fathers have told us;

That we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come *

but to shew the honour of the Lord, his mighty and wonderful works that he hath done.

But forgat what he had done *

and the wonderful works that he had shewed for them.

Marvellous things did he in the sight of our forefathers, in the land of Egypt *

even in the field of Zoan.

He divided the sea, and let them go through *

he made the waters to stand on an heap.

In the day-time also he led them with a cloud *

and all the night through with a light of fire.

He clave the hard rocks in the wilderness *

and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of the great depth.
