Psalms 78:46-64 in English

⁴⁶ He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost.

⁴⁸ He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, A band of angels of evil.

⁵⁰ He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence,

⁵¹ And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

⁵² But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³ And he led them safely, so that they feared not; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴ And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.

⁵⁵ He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;

⁵⁷ But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

⁵⁹ When God heard this, he was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;

⁶⁰ So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men;

⁶¹ And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the adversary’s hand.

⁶² He gave his people over also unto the sword, And was wroth with his inheritance.

⁶³ Fire devoured their young men; And their virgins had no marriage-song.

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword; And their widows made no lamentation.

⁴⁶ He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.

⁴⁸ He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

⁵⁰ He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

⁵¹ And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

⁵² But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³ And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴ And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

⁵⁵ He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

⁵⁷ But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

⁵⁹ When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

⁶⁰ So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

⁶¹ And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand.

⁶² He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.

⁶³ The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

⁴⁶ He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.

⁴⁸ He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

⁵⁰ He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

⁵¹ And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

⁵² But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³ And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴ And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

⁵⁵ He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, a band of angels of evil.

⁵⁰ He made a path for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

⁵¹ And smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham:

⁵³ And he led them safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴ And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

⁵⁷ But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

⁵⁹ When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

⁶⁰ So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

⁶¹ And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the adversary’s hand.

⁶² He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.

⁶³ Fire devoured their young men; and their maidens had no marriage-song.

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

⁴⁶ He sent locusts to eat their crops and the other things that grew in their fields.

⁴⁷ He sent hail that destroyed the grapevines, and sent frost that ruined the figs.

⁴⁸ He sent hail that killed their cattle and sent lightning that killed their sheep and cows.

⁴⁹ Because God was fiercely angry with the people of Egypt, he caused them to be very distressed. The disasters that struck them were like a group of angels that destroyed everything.

⁵⁰ He did not lessen his being angry with them, and he did not ◄spare their lives/prevent them from dying►; he sent a ◄plague/serious illness► that killed many of them.

⁵¹ He also caused all the firstborn sons of the people of Egypt to die.

⁵² Then he led his people out of Egypt like a shepherd leads his sheep SIM, and he guided them while they walked through the desert.

⁵³ He led them safely, and they were not afraid, but their enemies were drowned in the sea.

⁵⁴ Later he brought them to Canaan, his sacred land, to Zion Hill (OR, the hilly area) and by his power MTY he enabled them to conquer the people who were living there.

⁵⁵ He expelled the people-groups while his people were advancing; he allotted part of the land for each tribe to possess, and he gave to the Israeli people the houses of those people who had been expelled.

⁵⁶ However, the Israeli people rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god, and they did many evil things to see if they could do those things without God punishing them, and they did not obey his commandments.

⁵⁷ Instead, like their ancestors did, they rebelled against God and ◄were not loyal to/did not faithfully obey► him; they were as unreliable as a crooked arrow that does not go straight SIM.

⁵⁸ Because they worshiped carved images of their gods on the tops of hills, they caused God to become angry DOU.

⁵⁹ He saw what they were doing and became very angry, so he rejected the Israeli people.

⁶⁰ He no longer appeared to them at Shiloh in the tent where he had lived among them.

⁶¹ He allowed their enemies to capture the sacred chest, which was the symbol of his power and his glory.

⁶² Because he was angry with his people, he allowed them to be killed MTY by their enemies.

⁶³ Young men were killed in battles, with the result that the young women had no one to marry.

⁶⁴ Many priests were killed by their enemies' swords, and ◄the people did not allow the priests' widows/the priests' widows were not allowed► to mourn.

⁴⁶ He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.

⁴⁸ He also gave over their livestock to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁴⁹ He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil.

⁵⁰ He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

⁵¹ and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

⁵² But he led out his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³ He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴ He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

⁵⁵ He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies,

⁵⁷ but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were twisted like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.

⁵⁹ When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,

⁶⁰ so that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men,

⁶¹ and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.

⁶² He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.

⁶³ Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep.

⁴⁶ He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.

⁴⁸ He also gave over their livestock to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁴⁹ He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil.

⁵⁰ He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

⁵¹ and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

⁵² But he led out his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵⁰ He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

⁵¹ and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.

⁵⁹ When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,

⁶⁰ so that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed amongst men,

⁶² He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.

⁶³ Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep.

⁴⁶ He gave the increase of their fields to worms, the fruits of their industry to the locusts.

⁴⁷ He sent ice for the destruction of their vines; their trees were damaged by the bitter cold.

⁴⁸ Ice was rained down on their cattle; thunderstorms sent destruction among the flocks.

⁴⁹ He sent on them the heat of his wrath, his bitter disgust, letting loose evil angels among them.

⁵⁰ He let his wrath have its way; he did not keep back their soul from death, but gave their life to disease.

⁵¹ He gave to destruction all the first sons of Egypt; the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;

⁵² But he took his people out like sheep, guiding them in the waste land like a flock.

⁵³ He took them on safely so that they had no fear; but their haters were covered by the sea.

⁵⁴ And he was their guide to his holy land, even to the mountain, which his right hand had made his;

⁵⁵ Driving out nations before them, marking out the line of their heritage, and giving the people of Israel their tents for a resting-place.

⁵⁶ But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;

⁵⁷ Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.

⁵⁸ They made him angry with their high places; moving him to wrath with their images.

⁵⁹ When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;

⁶⁰ So that he went away from the holy place in Shiloh, the tent which he had put among men;

⁶¹ And he let his strength be taken prisoner, and gave his glory into the hands of his hater.

⁶² He gave his people up to the sword, and was angry with his heritage.

⁶³ Their young men were burned in the fire; and their virgins were not praised in the bride-song.

⁶⁴ Their priests were put to death by the sword, and their widows made no weeping for them.

⁴⁶ And he gave their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust;

⁴⁷ He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with hail-stones;

⁴⁸ And he delivered up their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to thunderbolts.

⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and distress, — a mission of angels of woes.

⁵⁰ He made a way for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

⁵¹ And he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the first-fruits of their vigour in the tents of Ham.

⁵² And he made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

⁵³ And he led them safely, so that they were without fear; and the sea covered their enemies.

⁵⁴ And he brought them to his holy border, this mountain, which his right hand purchased;

⁵⁵ And he drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶ But they tempted and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not his testimonies,

⁵⁷ And they drew back and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they turned like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ And they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

⁵⁹ God heard, and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

⁶⁰ And he forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he had dwelt among men,

⁶¹ And gave his strength into captivity, and his glory into the hand of the oppressor;

⁶² And delivered up his people unto the sword, and was very wroth with his inheritance:

⁶³ The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not praised in nuptial song;

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.

⁴⁶ He gave their crops to locusts; everything they worked had for was taken by locusts.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, and their fig trees with freezing rain.

⁴⁸ He handed over their cattle to hail and their flocks to lightning bolts.

⁴⁹ He poured out on them his fierce anger—rage and hostility and anguish—sending a band of destroying angels against them.

⁵⁰ He sent his unrestrained anger against them; he did not spare them from death, handing them over to the plague.

⁵¹ He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt, the first to be conceived in the tents of Ham.

⁵² But he led out his people like sheep, and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.

⁵³ He led them to safety, and they were not afraid. He drowned their enemies in the sea.

⁵⁴ He brought them to the border of his holy land, to this mountainous land that he had conquered for them.

⁵⁵ He drove out the heathen nations before them. He divided up the land for them to own. He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

⁵⁶ But they provoked God Most High, rebelling against him. They did not follow what he had told them.

⁵⁷ Just like their forefathers they turned away from God and were unfaithful to him, as twisted as a defective bow.

⁵⁸ They made him angry with their pagan high places of worship; they made him jealous with their idols.

⁵⁹ When God heard their worship he became furious and he totally rejected Israel.

⁶⁰ He abandoned his place at Shiloh, the Tabernacle where he lived among the people.

⁶¹ He surrendered the Ark of his power, allowing it to be captured; handing it over into enemy hands.

⁶² He handed over his people to be slaughtered by the sword; he was furious with his chosen people.

⁶³ Their young men were destroyed by fire; their young women had no wedding songs.

⁶⁴ Their priests were killed by the sword; their widows were unable to mourn.

⁴⁶ He gaue also their fruites vnto the caterpiller, and their labour vnto the grassehopper.

⁴⁷ He destroied their vines with haile, and their wilde figge trees with the hailestone.

⁴⁸ He gaue their cattell also to the haile, and their flockes to the thunderboltes.

⁴⁹ Hee cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of euill Angels.

⁵⁰ He made a way to his anger: he spared not their soule from death, but gaue their life to the pestilence,

⁵¹ And smote al the firstborne in Egypt, euen the beginning of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham.

⁵² But hee made his people to goe out like sheepe, and led them in the wildernes like a flocke.

⁵³ Yea, he caried them out safely, and they feared not, and the Sea couered their enemies.

⁵⁴ And he brought them vnto the borders of his Sanctuarie: euen to this Mountaine, which his right hand purchased.

⁵⁵ He cast out the heathe also before them, and caused them to fall to the lot of his inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted, and prouoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies,

⁵⁷ But turned backe and delt falsely like their fathers: they turned like a deceitfull bowe.

⁵⁸ And they prouoked him to anger with their high places, and mooued him to wrath with their grauen images.

⁵⁹ God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel,

⁶⁰ So that hee forsooke the habitation of Shilo, euen the Tabernacle where hee dwelt among men,

⁶¹ And deliuered his power into captiuitie, and his beautie into the enemies hand.

⁶² And hee gaue vp his people to the sworde, and was angrie with his inheritance.

⁶³ The fire deuoured their chosen men, and their maides were not praised.

⁶⁴ Their Priestes fell by the sworde, and their widowes lamented not.

⁴⁶ He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore-trees with frost.

⁴⁸ He gave over their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to fiery bolts.

⁴⁹ He sent forth upon them the fierceness of His anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, a sending of messengers of evil.

⁵⁰ He levelled a path for His anger; He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

⁵¹ And smote all the first-born in Egypt, the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;

⁵² But He made His own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³ And He led them safely, and they feared not; but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴ And He brought them to His holy border, to the mountain, which His right hand had gotten.

⁵⁵ He drove out the nations also before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶ Yet they tried and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not His testimonies;

⁵⁷ But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers; they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ For they provoked Him with their high places, and moved Him to jealousy with their graven images.

⁵⁹ God heard, and was wroth, and He greatly abhorred Israel;

⁶⁰ And He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which He had made to dwell among men;

⁶¹ And delivered His strength into captivity, and His glory into the adversary's hand.

⁶² He gave His people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with His inheritance.

⁶³ Fire devoured their young men; and their virgins had no marriage-song.

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

⁴⁶ He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labour unto the locust.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore trees with frost.

⁴⁸ He gave up their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, By sending evil angels among them.

⁵⁰ He made a way to his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence;

⁵¹ And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; The chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

⁵² But made his own people to go forth like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³ And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴ And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, Even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

⁵⁵ He cast out the heathen also before them, And divided them an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, And kept not his testimonies:

⁵⁷ But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

⁵⁹ When God heard this, he was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel:

⁶⁰ So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men;

⁶¹ And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the enemy’s hand.

⁶² He gave his people over also unto the sword; And was wroth with his inheritance.

⁶³ The fire consumed their young men; And their maidens were not given to marriage.

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword; And their widows made no lamentation.

⁴⁶ And he gave unto the cricket their products, and their labor unto the locust.

⁴⁷ He slew with hail their vines, and their sycamore-trees with ice-bolts.

⁴⁸ And he surrendered to the hail their cattle, and their herds to the lightning's flashes.

⁴⁹ He let loose against them the fierceness of his anger, wrath and indignation, and distress, a host of angels of misfortune.

⁵⁰ He leveled a path for his anger; he withheld not from death their soul, and their life he surrendered to the pestilence;

⁵¹ And he smote all the first-born in Egypt; the first of their strength in the tents of Ham;

⁵² But he caused his own people to depart like flocks, and guided them like a drove in the wilderness.

⁵³ And he led them in safety, so that they felt no dread; but the sea covered over their enemies.

⁵⁴ And he brought them to his holy territory, even to this mount, which his right hand had acquired.

⁵⁵ And he drove out from before them nations, and divided them by the measuring-line as an inheritance, and he caused to dwell in their tents the tribes of Israel.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and rebelled against the most high God, and his testimonies they kept not;

⁵⁷ But swerved aside, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers; they turned about like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ And they provoked him to anger with their high-places, and with their graven images they moved him to jealousy.

⁵⁹ God heard this, and he became wroth, and felt greatly disgusted with Israel;

⁶⁰ And he cast off the dwelling at Shiloh, the tabernacle where he had dwelt among men;

⁶¹ And he gave up his strength unto captivity, and his glory into the adversary's hand.

⁶² And he surrendered his people unto the sword; and with his inheritance was he wroth.

⁶³ His young men the fire devoured; and his virgins were not demanded in marriage.

⁶⁴ His priests fell by the sword; and his widows did not weep.

⁴⁶ He gave also their fruits to the caterpillar, And their labor to the locust.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycamore-trees with frost.

⁴⁸ He also gave up their cattle to hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁴⁹ He sent against them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, indignation, and woe,—A host of angels of evil.

⁵⁰ He made a way for his anger, He spared them not from death, But gave up their lives to the pestilence.

⁵¹ He smote all the firstborn in Egypt; The first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.

⁵² But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them like a flock in the wilderness.

⁵³ He led them on safely, so that they feared not, While the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴ He brought them to his own sacred border, Even to this mountain which his right hand had gained.

⁵⁵ He cast out the nations before them, And divided their land by a measuring-line, as an inheritance, And caused the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and provoked God, the Most High, And kept not his statutes;

⁵⁷ Like their fathers they were faithless, and turned back; They turned aside, like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ They provoked his anger by their high places, And stirred up his jealousy by their graven images.

⁵⁹ God saw this, and was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;

⁶⁰ So that he forsook the habitation at Shiloh, The tabernacle where he dwelt among men,

⁶¹ And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the hand of the enemy.

⁶² His own people he gave up to the sword, And was wroth with his own inheritance.

⁶³ Fire consumed their young men, And their maidens did not bewail them.

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword, And their widows made no lamentation.

⁴⁶ Their crops he gave to the caterpillar, and the fruits of their toil to the locust.

⁴⁷ He slew their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost.

⁴⁸ He delivered their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to bolts of fire.

⁴⁹ He let loose his hot anger amongst them, fury and wrath and distress, a band of destroying angels.

⁵⁰ He cleared a path for his anger, did not spare them from death, but gave them over to pestilence.

⁵¹ He struck down all the first-born in Egypt, the first fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.

⁵² He led forth his people like sheep, he was guide to his flock in the desert.

⁵³ Securely he led them, and free from fear, while their foes were drowned in the sea.

⁵⁴ To his holy realm he brought them, to the mountain his right hand had purchased.

⁵⁵ He drove out the nations before them, and allotted their land for possession, and their tents for Israel to live in.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and angered the Most High God, they did not observe his decrees.

⁵⁷ They drew back, false like their ancestors; they failed like a treacherous bow.

⁵⁸ Their shrines stirred him to anger, their idols moved him to jealousy.

⁵⁹ When God heard of this, he was furious, and he spurned Israel utterly.

⁶⁰ He abandoned his home in Shiloh, the tent he had pitched amongst people.

⁶¹ He gave his strength up to captivity, his glory to the hands of the foe.

⁶² He gave his people to the sword, he was furious with his own.
