Salmos 78:3,4+ - Bíblia Online

A Maskil of Asaph. 
Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth! 
I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, 
things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. 
We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders which he has wrought. 
He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children; 
that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, 
so that they should set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments; 
and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God. 
The E'phraimites, armed with the bow, turned back on the day of battle. 
They did not keep God's covenant, but refused to walk according to his law. 
They forgot what he had done, and the miracles that he had shown them. 
In the sight of their fathers he wrought marvels in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zo'an. 
He divided the sea and let them pass through it, and made the waters stand like a heap. 
In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a fiery light. 
He cleft rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep. 
He made streams come out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down like rivers. 
Yet they sinned still more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert. 
They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved. 
They spoke against God, saying, "Can God spread a table in the wilderness? 
He smote the rock so that water gushed out and streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide meat for his people?" 
Therefore, when the LORD heard, he was full of wrath; a fire was kindled against Jacob, his anger mounted against Israel; 
because they had no faith in God, and did not trust his saving power. 
Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven; 
and he rained down upon them manna to eat, and gave them the grain of heaven. 
Man ate of the bread of the angels; he sent them food in abundance. 
He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens, and by his power he led out the south wind; 
he rained flesh upon them like dust, winged birds like the sand of the seas; 
he let them fall in the midst of their camp, all around their habitations. 
And they ate and were well filled, for he gave them what they craved. 
But before they had sated their craving, while the food was still in their mouths, 
the anger of God rose against them and he slew the strongest of them, and laid low the picked men of Israel. 
In spite of all this they still sinned; despite his wonders they did not believe. 
So he made their days vanish like a breath, and their years in terror. 
When he slew them, they sought for him; they repented and sought God earnestly. 
They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God their redeemer. 
But they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues. 
Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not true to his covenant. 
Yet he, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often, and did not stir up all his wrath. 
He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again. 
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert! 
They tested him again and again, and provoked the Holy One of Israel. 
They did not keep in mind his power, or the day when he redeemed them from the foe; 
when he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his miracles in the fields of Zo'an. 
He turned their rivers to blood, so that they could not drink of their streams. 
He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them. 
He gave their crops to the caterpillar, and the fruit of their labor to the locust. 
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamores with frost. 
He gave over their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to thunderbolts. 
He let loose on them his fierce anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, a company of destroying angels. 
He made a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death, but gave their lives over to the plague. 
He smote all the first-born in Egypt, the first issue of their strength in the tents of Ham. 
Then he led forth his people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 
He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid; but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 
And he brought them to his holy land, to the mountain which his right hand had won. 
He drove out nations before them; he apportioned them for a possession and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents. 
Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God, and did not observe his testimonies, 
but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers; they twisted like a deceitful bow. 
For they provoked him to anger with their high places; they moved him to jealousy with their graven images. 
When God heard, he was full of wrath, and he utterly rejected Israel. 
He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh, the tent where he dwelt among men, 
and delivered his power to captivity, his glory to the hand of the foe. 
He gave his people over to the sword, and vented his wrath on his heritage. 
Fire devoured their young men, and their maidens had no marriage song. 
Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation. 
Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a strong man shouting because of wine. 
And he put his adversaries to rout; he put them to everlasting shame. 
He rejected the tent of Joseph, he did not choose the tribe of E'phraim; 
but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loves. 
He built his sanctuary like the high heavens, like the earth, which he has founded for ever. 
He chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds; 
from tending the ewes that had young he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob his people, of Israel his inheritance. [ (Psalms 78:73) With upright heart he tended them, and guided them with skilful hand. ]
