Psalms 77
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Προσέχετε λαός μου τὸν νόμον μου, κλίνατε τὸ οὖς ὑμῶν εἰς τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός μου.
78:1
A Maskil (note: Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.) of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my instruction; listen to the words of my mouth.
ἀνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὸ στόμα μου, φθέγξομαι προβλήματα ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς.
78:2
I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the beginning (note: Or from ancient times; see also LXX; cited in Matthew 13:35),
ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν καὶ ἔγνωμεν αὐτά, καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν διηγήσαντο ἡμῖν·
78:3
that we have heard and known and our fathers have relayed to us.
οὐκ ἐκρύβη ἀπὸ τῶν τέκνων αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰν ἑτέραν, ἀπαγγέλλοντες τὰς αἰνέσεις Κυρίου καὶ τὰς δυναστίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐποίησεν.
78:4
We will not hide them from their children but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His might and the wonders He has performed.
καὶ ἀνέστησεν μαρτύριον ἐν Ἰακώβ, καὶ νόμον ἔθετο ἐν Ἰσραήλ, ὃν ἐνετείλατο τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν γνωρίσαι αὐτὸν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν,
78:5
For He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers to teach to their children,
ὅπως ἂν γνῷ γενεὰ ἑτέρα, υἱοὶ οἱ τεχθησόμενοι, καὶ ἀναστήσονται καὶ ἀπαγγελοῦσιν αὐτὰ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν·
78:6
that the coming generation would know them—even children yet to be born—to arise and tell their own children
ἵνα θῶνται ἐπὶ τὸν θεὸν τὴν ἐλπίδα αὐτῶν, καὶ μὴ ἐπιλάθωνται τῶν ἔργων τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ ἐκζητήσουσιν·
78:7
that they should put their confidence in God, not forgetting His works, but keeping His commandments.
ἵνα μὴ γένωνται ὡς οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν γενεὰ σκολιὰ καὶ παραπικραίνουσα, γενεὰ ἥτις οὐ κατηύθυνεν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστώθη μετὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῆς.
78:8
Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to God.
υἱοὶ Ἐφράιμ ἐντείνοντες καὶ βάλλοντες τόξον ἐστράφησαν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου·
78:9
The archers of Ephraim turned back on the day of battle.
οὐκ ἐφυλάξαντο τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἤθελον πορεύεσθαι.
78:10
They failed to keep God’s covenant and refused to live by His law.
καὶ ἐπελάθοντο τῶν εὐεργεσιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν θαυμασίων αὐτοῦ ὧν ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς,
78:11
They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.
ἐναντίον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἃ ἐποίησεν θαυμάσια, ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ἐν πεδίῳ Τάνεως.
78:12
He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
διέρρηξεν θάλασσαν καὶ διήγαγεν αὐτούς, ἔστησεν ὕδατα ὡσεὶ ἀσκόν·
78:13
He split the sea and brought them through; He set the waters upright like a wall.
καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν νεφέλῃ ἡμέρας. καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ἐν φωτισμῷ πυρός·
78:14
He led them with a cloud by day and with a light of fire all night.
διέρρηξεν πέτραν ἐν ἐρήμῳ. καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐν ἀβύσσῳ πολλῇ·
78:15
He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the seas.
καὶ ἐξήγαγεν ὔδωρ ἐκ πέτρας. καὶ κατήγαγεν ὡς ποταμοὺς ὕδατα.
78:16
He brought streams from the stone and made water flow down like rivers.
καὶ προσέθεντο ἔτι τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν αὐτῷ· παρεπίκραναν τὸν ὕψιστον ἐν ἀνύδρῳ,
78:17
But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.
καὶ ἐξεπείρασαν τὸν θεὸν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν, τοῦ αἰτῆσαι βρώματα ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν.
78:18
They willfully tested God by demanding the food they craved.
καὶ κατελάλησαν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἶπαν Μὴ δυνήσεται ὁ θεὸς ἑτοιμάσαι τράπεζαν ἐυ ἐρήμῳ
78:19
They spoke against God, saying, “Can God really prepare a table in the wilderness?
ἐπεὶ ἐπάταξεν πέτραν, καὶ ἐρρύησαν ὕδατα, καὶ χείμαρροι κατεκλύσθησαν· μὴ καὶ ἄρτον δυνήσεται δοῦναι; ἢ ἑτοιμάσαι τράπεζαν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ;
78:20
When He struck the rock, water gushed out and torrents raged. But can He also give bread or supply His people with meat?”
διὰ τοῦτο ἤκουσεν Κύριος καὶ ἀνεβάλετο, καὶ πῦρ ἀνήφθη ἐν Ἰακώβ, καὶ ὀργὴ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ·
78:21
Therefore the LORD heard and was filled with wrath; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and His anger flared against Israel,
ὅτι οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν ἐν τῷ θεῷ, οὐδὲ ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ τὸ σωτήριον αὐτοῦ.
78:22
because they did not believe God or rely on His salvation.
καὶ ἐνετείλατο νεφέλαις ὑπεράνωθεν, καὶ θύρας οὐρανοῦ ἠνέῳξεν·
78:23
Yet He commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of the heavens.
καὶ ἔβρεξεν αὐτοῖς μάννα φαγεῖν, καὶ ἄρτον οὐρανοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς·
78:24
He rained down manna for them to eat; He gave them grain from heaven (note: Cited in John 6:31).
ἄρτον ἀγγέλων ἔφαγεν ἄνθρωπος, ἐπισιτισμὸν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοῖς εἰς πλησμονήν.
78:25
Man ate the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.
καὶ ἐπῆρεν νότον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ἐν τῇ δυναστίᾳ αὐτοῦ λίβα,
78:26
He stirred the east wind from the heavens and drove the south wind by His might.
καὶ ἔβρεξεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ὡσεὶ χοῦν σάρκας, καὶ ὁὡσεὶ ἄμμον θαλασσῶν πετεινὰ πτερωτά·
78:27
He rained meat on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea.
καὶ ἐπέπεσον εἰς μέσον τῆς παρεμβολῆς αὐτῶν, κύκλῳ τῶν σκηνωμάτων αὐτῶν.
78:28
He felled them in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.
καὶ ἐφάγοσαν καὶ ἐνεπλήσθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν αὐτῶν ἤνεγκεν αὐτοῖς.
78:29
So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.
οὐκ ἐστερήθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιθυμίας αὐτῶν· ἔτι τῆς βρώσεως αὐτῶν οὔσης ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν,
78:30
Yet before they had filled their desire, with the food still in their mouths,
καὶ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ ἀνέβη ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν τοῖς πλείοσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ συνεπόδισεν.
78:31
God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.
ἐν πᾶσιν τούτοις ἥμαρτον ἔτι, καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν τοῖς θαυμασίοις αὐτοῦ·
78:32
In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.
καὶ ἐξέλιπον ἐν ματαιότητι αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν μετὰ σπουδῆς.
78:33
So He ended their days in futility (note: Or in vapor), and their years in sudden terror.
ἄταν ἀπέκτεννεν αὐτοὺς ἐζήτουν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπέστρεφον καὶ ὥρθριζον πρὸς τὸν θεόν·
78:34
When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God.
καὶ ἐμνήσθησαν ὅτι ὁ θεὸς βοηθὸς αὐτῶν ἐστιν, καὶ ὁ θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος λυτρωτὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.
78:35
And they remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High (note: Hebrew El-Elyon) was their Redeemer.
καὶ ἠγάπησαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν, καὶσσῃ αὐτῶν ἐψεύσαντο αὐτῷ·
78:36
But they deceived Him with their mouths, and lied to Him with their tongues.
ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν οὐκ εὐθεῖα μετʼ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ἐπιστώθησαν ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ εὐτοῦ.
78:37
Their hearts were disloyal to Him, and they were unfaithful to His covenant.
αὐτὸς δέ ἐστιν οἰκτίρμων καὶ ἱλάσεται ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ διαφθερεῖ καὶ πληθυνεῖ τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν θυμὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχὶ ἐκκαύσει πᾶσαν τὴν ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ.
78:38
And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full wrath.
καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὅτι σάρξ εἰσιν. πνεῦμα πορευόμενον καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστρέφον.
78:39
He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
ποσάκις παρεπίκραναν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, παρώργισαν αὐτὸν ἐν γῇ ἀνύδρῳ;
78:40
How often they disobeyed Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert!
καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν καὶ ἐπείρασαν τὸν θεόν, καὶ τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ παρώξυναν.
78:41
Again and again they tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
οὐκ ἐμνήσθησαν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἡμέρας ἧς ἐλυτρώσατο αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς θλίδοντος·
78:42
They did not remember His power (note: Or His hand)—the day He redeemed them from the adversary,
ὡς ἔθετο ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ τὰ σημεῖα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ τέρατα αὐτοῦ ἐν πεδίῳ Τάνεως·
78:43
when He performed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the fields of Zoan.
καὶ μετέστρεψεν εἰς αἷμα τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ὀμβρήματα αὐτῶν ὅπως μὴ πίωσιν·
78:44
He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink.
ἐξαπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς κυνόμυιαν καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτούς, καὶ βάτραχον καὶ διέφθειρεν αὐτούς·
78:45
He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.
καὶ ἔδωκεν τῇ ἐρυσίβῃ τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς πόνους αὐτῶν τῇ ἀκρίδι·
78:46
He gave their crops to the grasshopper, the fruit of their labor to the locust.
ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν χαλάζῃ τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰς συκαμίνους αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ πάχνῃ·
78:47
He killed their vines with hailstones and their sycamore-figs with sleet (note: Or frost or driving rain).
καὶ παρέδωκεν ἐν χαλάζῃ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν. καὶ τὴν ὕπαρξιν αὐτῶν τῷ πυρί
78:48
He abandoned their cattle to the hail and their livestock to bolts of lightning.
ἐξαπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς ὀργὴν θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ, θυμὸν καὶ ὀργὴν καὶ θλίψιν, ἀποστολὴν δι᾿ ἀγγέλων πονηρῶν·
78:49
He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation, and calamity—a band of destroying angels.
ὡδοποίησεν τρίβον τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἐφείσατο ἀπὸ θανάτου τῶν ψυχῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν εἰς θάνατον συνέκλεισεν·
78:50
He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.
καὶ ἐπάταξεν πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, ἀπαρχὴν τῶν πόνων αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασι Χάμ.
78:51
He struck all the firstborn of Egypt, the virility in the tents of Ham.
καὶ ἀπῆρεν ὡς πρόβατα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς ὡς ποίμνιον ἐν ἐρήμῳ
78:52
He led out His people like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.
καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἐλπίδι καὶ οὐκ ἐδειλίασαν, καὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν ἐκάλυψεν θάλασσα.
78:53
He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.
καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ὄρος ἁγιάσματος αὐτοῦ, ὄρος τοῦτο ὁ ἐκτήσατο ἡ δεξιὰ αὐτοῦ·
78:54
He brought them to His holy land, to the mountain His right hand had acquired.
καὶ ἐξέβαλεν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν ἔθνη, καὶ ἐκληροδότησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν σχοινίῳ κληροδοσίας, καὶ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτῶν ταῖς φυλαῖς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
78:55
He drove out nations before them and apportioned their inheritance; He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
καὶ ἐπείρασαν καὶ παρεπίκραναν τὸν θεὸν τὸν ὕψιστον, καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐφυλάξαντο·
78:56
But they tested and disobeyed God Most High, for they did not keep His decrees.
καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν καὶ ἠσυνθέτησαν καθὼς καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν καὶ μετεστράφησαν εἰς τόξον στρεβλόν·
78:57
They turned back and were faithless like their fathers, twisted like a faulty bow.
καὶ παρώργισαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτῶν παρεζήλωσαν αὐτόν.
78:58
They enraged Him with their high places and provoked His jealousy with their idols.
ἤκουσεν ὁ θεός, καὶ ὑπερεῖδεν καὶ ἐξουδένωσεν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ σφόδρα·
78:59
On hearing it, God was furious and rejected Israel completely.
καὶ ἀπώσατο τὴν σκηνὴν Σηλώμ, σκήναωμα αὐτοῦ οὗ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν ἀνθρώποις·
78:60
He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent He had pitched among men.
καὶ παρέδωκεν εἰς αἰχμαλωσίαν τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν καλλονὴν αὐτοῦ εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθροῦ·
78:61
He delivered His strength to captivity, and His splendor to the hand of the adversary.
καὶ συνέκλεισεν εἰς ῥομφαίαν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ ὑπερεῖδεν.
78:62
He surrendered His people to the sword because He was enraged by His heritage.
τοὺς νεανίσκους αὐτῶν κατέφαγεν πῦρ, καὶ αἱ παρθένοι αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπένθησαν·
78:63
Fire consumed His young men, and their maidens were left without wedding songs.
οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῶν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἔπεσαν. καὶ αἱ χῆραι αὐτῶν οὐ κλαυσθήσονται.
78:64
His priests fell by the sword, but their widows could not lament.
καὶ ἐξηγέρθη ὡς ὁ ὑπνῶν Κύριος. ὡς δυνατὸς κεκραιπαληκὼς ἐξ οἴνου·
78:65
Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a mighty warrior overcome by wine.
καὶ ἐπάταξεν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ὄνειδος αἰώνιον ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς.
78:66
He beat back His foes; He put them to everlasting shame.
καὶ ἀπώσατο τὸ σκήνωμα Ἰωσήφ, καὶ τὴν φυλὴν Ἐφράιμ οὐκ ἐξελέξατο·
78:67
He rejected the tent of Joseph and refused the tribe of Ephraim.
καὶ ἐξελέξατο τὴν φυλὴν Ἰούδα, τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σειὼν ἠγάπησεν.
78:68
But He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.
καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ὡς μονοκερώτων τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
78:69
He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth He has established forever.
καὶ ἐξελέξατο Δαυεὶδ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέλαβεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τῶν ποιμνίων τῶν προβάτων·
78:70
He chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds;
ἐξόπισθεν τῶν λοχευομένων ἔλαβεν αὐτόν, ποιμαίνειν Ἰακὼβ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ καὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ.
78:71
from tending the ewes He brought him to be shepherd of His people Jacob, of Israel His inheritance.
καὶ ἐποίμανεν αὐτοὺς ἐν νῇ ἀκακίᾳ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῇ συνέσει τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ ὡδήγησεν αὐτούς.
78:72
So David shepherded them with integrity of heart and guided them with skillful hands.
