Psalms 78:31-61

³¹and the wrath of God ascended or went up on them. And he killed the fat men of them; and he hindered the chosen men of Israel.

³²In all these things they sinned yet; and believed not in the marvels of God.

³³And the days of them failed in vanity; and the years of them failed with haste.

³⁴When he killed them, they sought him; and they turned again, and early they came to him.

³⁵And they bethought, that God is the helper of them; and the high God is the again-buyer of them.

³⁶And they loved him in their mouth; and with their tongue they lied to him.

³⁷Forsooth the heart of them was not rightful or right with him; neither they were had faithful in his testament.

³⁸But he is merciful, and he shall be made merciful to the sins of them; and he shall not destroy them. And he did greatly, to turn away his ire; and he kindled not all his ire.

³⁹And he bethought, that they be flesh; a spirit going, and not turning again.

⁴⁰How oft made they him wroth in desert; they stirred him into ire in a place without water.

⁴¹And they were turned, and tempted God; and they wrathed the Holy of Israel.

⁴²They bethought not on his hand; in the day in which he again-bought them from the hand of the troubler.

⁴³As he setted or put his signs in Egypt; and his great wonders in the field of Tanis.

⁴⁴And he turned the floods of them, and the rains of them, into blood; that they should not drink.

⁴⁵He sent a flesh fly or hound flea into them, and it ate them; and he sent a paddock or frog, and it lost them.

⁴⁶And he gave the fruits of them to rust; and he gave the travails of them to locusts.

⁴⁷And he killed the vines of them with hail; and the sycamore trees of them with frost.

⁴⁸And he betook the beasts of them to hail; and the possessions of them to fire.

⁴⁹He sent into them the ire of his indignation; indignation, and ire, and tribulation, sendings-in by evil angels.

⁵⁰He made a way to the path of his ire, and he spared not from the death of their lives; and he enclosed alto-gether in death the beasts of them.

⁵¹And he smote all the first engen-dered things or first begotten in the land of Egypt; the first fruits of all the travail of them in the tabernacles of Ham.

⁵²And he took away his people as sheep; and he led them forth as a flock in desert.

⁵³And he led them forth in hope, and they dreaded not; and the sea covered the enemies of them.

⁵⁴And he brought them into the hill of his hallowing; into the hill which his right hand gat.

⁵⁵And he casted out heathen men from the face of them; and by lot he parted to them the land in a cord of dealing. And he made the lineages of Israel to dwell in the tabernacles of them.

⁵⁶And they tempted, and wrathed the high God; and they kept not his witnessings.

⁵⁷And they turned away themselves, and they kept not covenant; as their fathers they were turned into a shrewd bow.

⁵⁸They stirred him into ire in their little hills; and they stirred him to indignation in their graven images.

⁵⁹God heard, and forsook; and brought to nought Israel greatly.

⁶⁰And he putted or put away the tabernacle of Shiloh; his tabernacle in which he dwelled among men.

⁶¹And he betook the virtue of them into captivity; and the fairness of them into the hands of the enemy.
