Psalms 77:6-20

⁶that another generation might know, even the sons which should be born; and they should arise and declare them to their children.

⁷That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the works of God, but diligently seek his commandments.

⁸That they should not be as their fathers, a perverse and provoking generation; a generation which set not its heart aright, and its spirit was not steadfast with God.

⁹The children of Ephraim, bending and shooting with the bow, turned back in the day of battle.

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

¹¹And they forgot his benefits, and his miracles which he had showed them;

¹²the miracles which he wrought before their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the plain of Tanes.

¹³He clave the sea, and led them through: he made the waters to stand as in a bottle.

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

¹⁵he clave a rock in the wilderness, and made them drink as in a great deep.

¹⁶And he brought water out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down as rivers.

¹⁷And they sinned yet more against him; they provoked the Most High in the wilderness.

¹⁸And they tempted God in their hearts, in asking meat for the desire of their souls.

¹⁹They spoke also against God, and said, Will God be able to prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰Forasmuch as he struck the rock, and the waters flowed, and the torrents ran abundantly; will he be able also to give bread, or prepare a table for his people?
