4. 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.
|
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:
|
6. That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
|
7. That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
|
8. 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.
|
12. Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
|
13. He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
|
20. 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?
|
21. Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
|
31. The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
|
38. 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.
|
49. He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
|
50. He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
|
54. And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
|
55. 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.
|
57. But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
|
58. For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
|
65. Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
|
69. And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
|
71. From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
|
72. So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
