Psalms 77:6-20

⁶That another generation might know them. The children that should be born and should rise up, and declare them to their children.

⁷That they may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: and may seek his commandments.

⁸That they may not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation. A generation that set not their heart aright: and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

⁹The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: they have turned back in the day of battle.

¹⁰They kept not the covenant of God: and in his law they would not walk.

¹¹And they forgot his benefits, and his wonders that he had shewn them.

¹²Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis.

¹³He divided the sea and brought them through: and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel.

¹⁴And he conducted them with a cloud by day: and all the night with a light of fire.

¹⁵He struck the rock in the wilderness: and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep.

¹⁶He brought forth water out of the rock: and made streams run down as rivers.

¹⁷And they added yet more sin against him: they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.

¹⁸And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking meat for their desires.

¹⁹And they spoke ill of God: they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

²⁰Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide a table for his people?
