Turn your ears to the words of my mouth. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old, <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> 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; <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> That the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; Who should arise and tell their children, <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments, <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that didn&#8217;t make their hearts loyal, Whose spirit was not steadfast with God. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> They didn&#8217;t keep God&#8217;s covenant, And refused to walk in his law. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> They forgot his doings, His wondrous works that he had shown them. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> He split the sea, and caused them to pass through; He made the waters stand as a heap. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, And all night with a light of fire. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> He split rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Yet they still went on to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> They tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Yes, they spoke against God. They said, &#8220;Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, Streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?&#8221; <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, Anger also went up against Israel, <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Because they didn&#8217;t believe in God, And didn&#8217;t trust in his salvation. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> He rained down manna on them to eat, And gave them food from the sky. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> He rained also flesh on them as the dust; Winged birds as the sand of the seas. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Around their habitations. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> They didn&#8217;t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths, <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> When the anger of God went up against them, Killed some of the fattest of them, And struck down the young men of Israel. <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> For all this they still sinned, And didn&#8217;t believe in his wondrous works. <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, And their years in terror. <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly. <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> They remembered that God was their rock, The Most High God their redeemer. <\/br><strong>36<\/strong> But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied to him with their tongue. <\/br><strong>37<\/strong> For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant. <\/br><strong>38<\/strong> But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn&#8217;t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, And didn&#8217;t stir up all his wrath. <\/br><strong>39<\/strong> He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes away, and doesn&#8217;t come again. <\/br><strong>40<\/strong> How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, And grieved him in the desert! <\/br><strong>41<\/strong> They turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel. <\/br><strong>42<\/strong> They didn&#8217;t remember his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary; <\/br><strong>43<\/strong> How he set his signs in Egypt, His wonders in the field of Zoan, <\/br><strong>44<\/strong> Turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink. <\/br><strong>45<\/strong> He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them. <\/br><strong>46<\/strong> He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, And their labor to the locust. <\/br><strong>47<\/strong> He destroyed their vines with hail, Their sycamore-fig trees with frost. <\/br><strong>48<\/strong> He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts. <\/br><strong>49<\/strong> He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, indignation, and trouble, And a band of angels of evil. <\/br><strong>50<\/strong> He made a path for his anger. He didn&#8217;t spare their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence, <\/br><strong>51<\/strong> And struck all the firstborn in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham. <\/br><strong>52<\/strong> But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock. <\/br><strong>53<\/strong> He led them safely, so that they weren&#8217;t afraid, But the sea overwhelmed their enemies. <\/br><strong>54<\/strong> He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had taken. <\/br><strong>55<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>56<\/strong> Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And didn&#8217;t keep his testimonies; <\/br><strong>57<\/strong> But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow. <\/br><strong>58<\/strong> For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their engraved images. <\/br><strong>59<\/strong> When God heard this, he was angry, And greatly abhorred Israel; <\/br><strong>60<\/strong> So that he forsook the tent of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men; <\/br><strong>61<\/strong> And delivered his strength into captivity, His glory into the adversary&#8217;s hand. <\/br><strong>62<\/strong> He also gave his people over to the sword, And was angry with his inheritance. <\/br><strong>63<\/strong> Fire devoured their young men; Their virgins had no wedding song. <\/br><strong>64<\/strong> Their priests fell by the sword, And their widows couldn&#8217;t weep. <\/br><strong>65<\/strong> Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine. <\/br><strong>66<\/strong> He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach. <\/br><strong>67<\/strong> Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, And didn&#8217;t choose the tribe of Ephraim, <\/br><strong>68<\/strong> But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved. <\/br><strong>69<\/strong> He built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he has established forever. <\/br><strong>70<\/strong> He also chose David his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds; <\/br><strong>71<\/strong> From following the ewes that have their young, He brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, And Israel, his inheritance. <\/br><strong>72<\/strong> So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height = 100;\n<\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_320x100_more_for_mobile --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_responsive_link_ads --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4647651612525789\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2949445208\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>If you know someone that needs to give their heart to Jesus, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/2014\/05\/26\/bill-winstons-prayer-of-salvation-the-sinners-prayer\/\" title=\"great video of the Salvation Prayer\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a great video of the Salvation Prayer (Sinner&#8217;s Prayer).<\/a><\/strong><\/br><\/br>If you (or anyone you know) needs prayer, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/24-hour-toll-free-prayer-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a list of toll free 24 hour prayer lines.<\/a><\/strong> <\/br><br \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/salvation\/faqs-about-salvation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s a list of frequently asked questions about Salvation.<\/a><\/strong> <br \/><\/br>To access different versions of the Bible, click the following links: <br \/> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=king+james+version\" target=\"_blank\">King James Version (KJV), <\/a><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=American+Standard+Version\" target=\"_blank\">American Standard Version (ASV), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=World+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">World English Bible (WEB), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Darby+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Darby English Bible (DARBY), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Bible+in+Basic+English\" target=\"_blank\">Bible in Basic English (BBE), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Webster+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Webster&#8217;s Bible (WBT), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Young+Literal+Translation\" target=\"_blank\">Young&#8217;s Literal Translation (YLT)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 &gt; Hear my law, my people.
