Turn your ears to the words from my mouth.1 Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.1 {An instruction. Of Asaph.} Give ear, O my people, to my law; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

I will explain what has been hidden long ago,2 I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter riddles from of old,
3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.3 things that we have heard and known about, things that our parents have told us.3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us:
4 We will not conceal them from their children, But tell to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, And His strength and His wondrous works that He has done.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.4 We will not hide them from our children. We will tell the next generation about the LORD's power and great deeds and the miraculous things he has done.4 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.4 We will not hide them from their sons, shewing forth to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, and his strength, and his marvellous works which 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 teach them to their children,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:5 He established written instructions for Jacob's people. He gave his teachings to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to make them known to their children5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;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, even the children yet to be born, That they may arise and tell them 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:6 so that the next generation would know them. Children yet to be born [would learn them]. They will grow up and tell their children6 that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,6 That the generation to come might know them, the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell them to their children,
7 That they should put their confidence in God And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments,7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:7 to trust God, to remember what he has done, and to obey his commands.7 that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments,7 And that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of �God, but observe his commandments;
8 And not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not prepare its heart And whose spirit was not faithful to God.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.8 Then they will not be like their ancestors, a stubborn and rebellious generation. Their hearts were not loyal. Their spirits were not faithful to God.8 and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn't make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that prepared not their heart, and whose spirit was not stedfast with �God.

10 They did not keep the covenant of God And refused to walk in His law;10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;10 They had not been faithful to God's promise. They refused to follow his teachings. 10 They didn't keep God's covenant, and refused to walk in his law.10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

12 He wrought wonders before their fathers In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.12 In front of their ancestors he performed miracles in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.12 He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.12 In the sight of their fathers had he done wonders, in the land of Egypt, the field of Zoan.

16 He brought forth streams also from the rock And caused waters to run down like rivers.16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.16 He made streams come out of a rock. He made the water flow like rivers.16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.16 And he brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17 Yet they still continued to sin against Him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.17 They continued to sin against him, to rebel in the desert against the Most High.17 Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.17 Yet they still went on sinning against him, provoking the Most High in the desert;

19 Then they spoke against God; They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?19 They spoke against God by saying, "Can God prepare a banquet in the desert?19 Yes, they spoke against God. They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?19 And they spoke against God: they said, Is �God able to prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 "Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out, And streams were overflowing; Can He give bread also? Will He provide meat for His people?"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?20 True, he did strike a rock, and water did gush out, and the streams did overflow. But can he also give us bread or provide us, his people, with meat?"20 Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?"20 Behold, he smote the rock, and waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; is he able to give bread also, or provide flesh for his people?

21 Therefore the LORD heard and was full of wrath; And a fire was kindled against Jacob And anger also mounted against Israel,21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;21 When the LORD heard this, he became furious. His fire burned against Jacob and his anger flared up at Israel21 Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,21 Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; and fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel:
22 Because they did not believe in God And did not trust in His salvation.22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:22 because they did not believe God or trust him to save them.22 because they didn't believe in God, and didn't trust in his salvation.22 Because they believed not in God, and confided not in his salvation;
23 Yet He commanded the clouds above And opened the doors of heaven;23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,23 In spite of that, he commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of heaven.23 Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of the heavens,
24 He rained down manna upon them to eat And gave them food from heaven.24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.24 He rained manna down on them to eat and gave them grain from heaven.24 He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the corn of the heavens.
25 Man did eat the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.25 Humans ate the bread of the mighty ones, and God sent them plenty of food.25 Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.25 Man did eat the bread of the mighty; he sent them provision to the full.

26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens And by His power He directed the south wind.26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.26 He made the east wind blow in the heavens and guided the south wind with his might.26 He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.26 He caused the east wind to rise in the heavens, and by his strength he brought the south wind;
27 When He rained meat upon them like the dust, Even winged fowl like the sand of the seas,27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:27 He rained meat down on them like dust, birds like the sand on the seashore.27 He rained also flesh on them as the dust; winged birds as the sand of the seas.27 And he rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the seas,
28 Then He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their dwellings.28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.28 He made the birds fall in the middle of his camp, all around his dwelling place.28 He let them fall in the midst of their camp, around their habitations.28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations:
29 So they ate and were well filled, And their desire He gave to them.29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;29 They ate more than enough. He gave them what they wanted,29 So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.29 And they did eat, and were well filled; for that they lusted after, he brought to them.
30 Before they had satisfied their desire, While their food was in their mouths,30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,30 but they still wanted more. While the food was still in their mouths,30 They didn't turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,30 They were not alienated from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths,

31 The anger of God rose against them And killed some of their stoutest ones, And subdued the choice men of Israel.31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.31 the anger of God flared up against them. He killed their strongest men and slaughtered the best young men in Israel.31 when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of the fattest of them, and struck down the young men of Israel.31 When the anger of God went up against them; and he slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this they still sinned And did not believe in His wonderful works.32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.32 In spite of all this, they continued to sin, and they no longer believed in his miracles.32 For all this they still sinned, and didn't believe in his wondrous works.32 For all this, they sinned still, and believed not in his marvellous works;
33 So He brought their days to an end in futility And their years in sudden terror.33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.33 He brought their days to an end like a whisper in the wind. He brought their years to an end in terror.33 Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.33 And he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
34 When He killed them, then they sought Him, And returned and searched diligently for God;34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.34 When he killed [some of] them, [the rest] searched for him. They turned from their sins and eagerly looked for God.34 When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.34 When he slew them, then they sought him, and returned and sought early after �God;
35 And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their Redeemer.35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.35 They remembered that God was their rock, that the Most High was their defender.35 They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and �God, the Most High, their redeemer.

36 But they deceived Him with their mouth And lied to Him with their tongue.36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.36 They flattered him with their mouths and lied to him with their tongues.36 But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.36 But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied unto him with their tongue;
37 For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful in His covenant.37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.37 Their hearts were not loyal to him. They were not faithful to his promise.37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.37 For their heart was not firm toward him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
38 But He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them; And often He restrained His anger And did not arouse all His wrath.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.38 But he is compassionate. He forgave their sin. He did not destroy them. He restrained his anger many times. He did not display all of his fury.38 But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn't destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn't stir up all his wrath.38 But he was merciful: he forgave the iniquity, and destroyed them not; but many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his fury:
39 Thus He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes and does not return.39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.39 He remembered that they were only flesh and blood, a breeze that blows and does not return.39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn't come again.39 And he remembered that they were flesh, a breath that passeth away and cometh not again.
40 How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness And grieved Him in the desert!40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness! How often they caused him grief in the desert!40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

42 They did not remember His power, The day when He redeemed them from the adversary,42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.42 They did not remember his power- the day he freed them from their oppressor,42 They didn't remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;42 They remembered not his hand, the day when he delivered them from the oppressor,

71 From the care of the ewes with suckling lambs He brought him To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance.71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.71 He brought him from tending the ewes that had lambs so that David could be the shepherd of the people of Jacob, of Israel, the people who belonged to the LORD.71 from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.71 From following the suckling-ewes, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72 So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them with his skillful hands.72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.72 With unselfish devotion David became their shepherd. With skill he guided them.72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. A Psalm by Asaph.72 And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart, and led them by the skilfulness of his hands.
