Tell the next generation
Listen to my law, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth. I'll open my mouth in a parable; I'll utter dark sayings from ancient times. What we've heard and known, what our fathers told us. We won't hide it from their children. We'll tell the next generation the praises of the LORD and his strength and the wonders he's done. Because he established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to make known to their children — So the next generation would know it, the children still to be born, and they'd rise and tell it to their children. So they'd set their hope in God and not forget his works, but keep his commands. And not be like their fathers — a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not right and whose spirit was not steadfast with God. The sons of Ephraim, armed and carrying bows, turned back on the day of the battle. They didn't keep the covenant of God and refused to walk in his law. And they forgot what he'd done and the wonders he'd shown them. He did marvellous things before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. He split the sea and made them go through. He made the waters stand up like a heap. He led them with a cloud in the daytime and all night with a light of fire. He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as from the great depths. He brought streams out of the rock and made water run down like rivers. And they kept on sinning against him, rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness. They tempted God in their hearts by asking for food to satisfy their lust. Yes, they spoke against God. They said: Can God lay out a table in the wilderness? Look — he struck the rock and the waters gushed out and the streams overflowed. Can he give bread too? Can he get meat ready for his people?
Turn your ear to my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth. I'll open my mouth in a saying. I'll pour out dark things from long ago — what we've heard and known, what our fathers told us. We won't hide it from their children. We'll tell the next generation the praises of the Lord and his strength and the wonders he's done. Because he set up a testimony in Jacob and put teaching in Israel, which he ordered our fathers to make known to their children — so the next generation would know it, the children still to be born, and they'd get up and tell it to their children. So they'd set their hope in God and not forget his works, but keep his commands. And not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn't set its heart straight and whose spirit wasn't steady with God. The sons of Ephraim, armed and carrying bows, turned back on the day of the battle. They didn't keep the covenant of God and refused to walk in his teaching. And they forgot what he'd done and the wonders he'd shown them. He did marvellous things in front of their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. He split the sea and made them go through. He made the waters stand up like a heap. He led them with a cloud in the daytime and all night with a light of fire. He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them a drink like out of the great deeps. He brought streams out of the rock and made water run down like rivers. And they kept on sinning against him, rebelling against the Most High in the dry country. And they tested God in their heart by asking for the food they wanted. Yes, they spoke against God. They said: Can God lay out a table in the wilderness? Look — he struck the rock and the waters gushed out and the streams overflowed. Can he give bread too? Can he get meat ready for his people?
Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 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: That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: 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. The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
Listen to my law, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
Turn your ear to my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I'll open my mouth in a parable; I'll utter dark sayings from ancient times.
I'll open my mouth in a saying. I'll pour out dark things from long ago —

We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
Because he established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to make known to their children —
Because he set up a testimony in Jacob and put teaching in Israel, which he ordered our fathers to make known to their children —
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:
So the next generation would know it, the children still to be born, and they'd rise and tell it to their children.
so the next generation would know it, the children still to be born, and they'd get up and tell it to their children.
That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
So they'd set their hope in God and not forget his works, but keep his commands.
That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
And not be like their fathers — a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not right and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
And not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn't set its heart straight and whose spirit wasn't steady with God.
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.
The sons of Ephraim, armed and carrying bows, turned back on the day of the battle.
The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
They didn't keep the covenant of God and refused to walk in his law.
They didn't keep the covenant of God and refused to walk in his teaching.
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
And they forgot what he'd done and the wonders he'd shown them.
And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
He did marvellous things before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
He did marvellous things in front of their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
He split the sea and made them go through. He made the waters stand up like a heap.
He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
He led them with a cloud in the daytime and all night with a light of fire.

He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as from the great depths.
He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them a drink like out of the great deeps.
He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
He brought streams out of the rock and made water run down like rivers.
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
And they kept on sinning against him, rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
And they kept on sinning against him, rebelling against the Most High in the dry country.
And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
They tempted God in their hearts by asking for food to satisfy their lust.
And they tested God in their heart by asking for the food they wanted.
And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
Yes, they spoke against God. They said: Can God lay out a table in the wilderness?
Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
Look — he struck the rock and the waters gushed out and the streams overflowed. Can he give bread too? Can he get meat ready for his people?
Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
They kept on sinning
So the LORD heard it and was angry. A fire was lit against Jacob, and anger rose against Israel too — Because they didn't believe God and didn't trust in his salvation. Even so he commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of heaven, And rained manna down on them to eat and gave them the grain of heaven. A man ate the bread of mighty ones. He sent them food to fill them right up. He made an east wind blow in the heavens, and by his strength he brought in the south wind. And he rained meat down on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the seas. He let it fall in the middle of their camp, all around their dwellings. So they ate and were well filled, because he gave them their own desire. They weren't estranged from their lust; the food was still in their mouths, When the anger of God came up against them and killed the fattest of them and brought down the young men of Israel. For all this they kept on sinning and didn't believe his wonders. So he consumed their days in emptiness, and their years in terror. When he killed them, then they looked for him. They came back and searched hard for God. And they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their redeemer. But they flattered him with their mouth and lied to him with their tongue. Because their heart was not right with him, and they were not faithful to his covenant. But he was full of mercy. He covered over their wrongdoing and didn't destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away and didn't stir up all his fury. Because he remembered they were only flesh, a breath that goes past and doesn't come back. How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert. Yes, they turned back and tested God, and set a limit on the Holy One of Israel. They didn't remember his hand, or the day he delivered them from the enemy — How he set his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan. And turned their rivers to blood, and their streams, so they couldn't drink. He sent swarms of flies among them that ate them up, and frogs that destroyed them. He gave their crops to the caterpillar and what they'd worked for to the locust. He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore trees with frost. He handed their cattle over to the hail and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. He threw the heat of his anger on them — fury and rage and trouble — by sending evil angels among them. He made a way for his anger. He didn't spare their soul from death but handed their life over to the plague, And struck down every firstborn in Egypt, the first of their strength in the tents of Ham.
So the Lord heard it and was angry. A fire was lit against Jacob, and anger came up against Israel too — because they didn't believe God and didn't trust in his salvation. Even so he ordered the clouds above and opened the doors of heaven, and rained manna down on them to eat and gave them the grain of heaven. A man ate the bread of mighty ones.

And he rained meat down on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the seas. And he made it fall in the middle of their camp, right round where they lived. So they ate and were filled right up, because he gave them what they wanted. They weren't off what they wanted — the food was still in their mouths — when the anger of God came up against them and killed the fattest of them and brought down the young men of Israel. For all this they kept on sinning and didn't believe his wonders. So he finished their days in emptiness, and their years in terror. When he killed them, then they looked for him. They came back and searched hard for God. And they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their redeemer. But they flattered him with their mouth and lied to him with their tongue. Because their heart wasn't straight with him, and they weren't steady in his covenant. But he was full of mercy. He covered over their wrongdoing and didn't wreck them. Yes, plenty of times he turned his anger away and didn't stir up all his fury. Because he remembered they were only flesh, a breath that goes past and doesn't come back. How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and made him sad in the desert. Yes, they turned back and tested God, and set a limit on the Holy One of Israel. They didn't remember his hand, or the day he got them out from the enemy — how he set his signs in Egypt and his wonders in the field of Zoan, and turned their rivers to blood, and their streams, so they couldn't drink. He sent swarms of flies among them that ate them up, and frogs that wrecked them. He gave their crops to the caterpillar and what they'd worked for to the locust.

He didn't spare their soul from death but handed their life over to the plague, and struck down every firstborn in Egypt, the first of their strength in the tents of Ham.
Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full. He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. 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. For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost. He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
So the LORD heard it and was angry. A fire was lit against Jacob, and anger rose against Israel too —
So the Lord heard it and was angry. A fire was lit against Jacob, and anger came up against Israel too —
Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
Because they didn't believe God and didn't trust in his salvation.

Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
Even so he commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of heaven,

He let it fall in the middle of their camp, all around their dwellings.
And he made it fall in the middle of their camp, right round where they lived.

So they ate and were well filled, because he gave them their own desire.

They weren't estranged from their lust; the food was still in their mouths,

He chose David
But he made his own people go out like sheep and led them in the wilderness like a flock. And he led them safely so they weren't frightened, and the sea covered their enemies. He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain which his right hand had purchased. And he drove the nations out before them and divided them an inheritance by line, and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents. But they tested and rebelled against the Most High God and didn't keep his instructions. They turned back and dealt falsely like their fathers. They turned aside like a slack bow. Because they made him angry with their worship shrines and stirred him to jealousy with their carved images. When God heard it he was furious and loathed Israel completely. So he forsook the tent of Shiloh, the tent he had placed among men. And handed his strength over to captivity and his glory into the enemy's hand. He handed his people over to the sword too, and he was furious with his own inheritance. Fire ate up their young men, and their young women had no wedding song. Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows didn't weep. Then the LORD woke up like a man out of sleep, like a strong man shouting because of wine. And he struck his enemies on the back. He put an everlasting insult on them. And he refused the tent of Joseph and didn't choose the tribe of Ephraim, But he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion that he loved. And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth he established forever. He chose David his servant too, and took him from the sheepfolds. He brought him from following the ewes with young, to feed Jacob his people and Israel his inheritance. So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart and guided them by the skill of his hands.
But he made his own people go out like sheep and led them in the wilderness like a flock. And he led them safely so they weren't frightened, and the sea covered their enemies. And he brought them to the border of his holy place, to this mountain his right hand had got. And he drove the nations out in front of them and divided them an inheritance by line, and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents. But they tested and rebelled against the Most High God and didn't keep his testimonies. They turned back and dealt falsely like their fathers. They turned aside like a slack bow. Because they made him angry with their high places and stirred him to jealousy with their carved images. When God heard it he was furious and loathed Israel completely. So he left the tent at Shiloh, the tent he'd set among men, and handed his strength over to captivity and his glory into the enemy's hand. He handed his people over to the sword too, and he was furious with his own inheritance. Fire ate up their young men, and their young women had no wedding song. Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows didn't weep. Then the Master woke up like a man out of sleep, like a strong man shouting because of wine. And he struck the ones against him on the back. He put an everlasting insult on them. And he refused the tent of Joseph and didn't choose the tribe of Ephraim, but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion that he loved. And he built his holy place like the heights, like the earth he set up forever. He chose David his servant too, and took him from the sheepfolds. He brought him from following the ewes with young, to feed Jacob his people and Israel his inheritance. So he fed them according to what was whole in his heart, and led them by the skill of his hands.
But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand. He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage. Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach. Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
But he made his own people go out like sheep and led them in the wilderness like a flock.

And handed his strength over to captivity and his glory into the enemy's hand.

And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand.
He handed his people over to the sword too, and he was furious with his own inheritance.
