Deuteronomy 4:32-38

The Lord Alone Is God

32For aask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether such a great thing as this has ever happened or was ever heard of. 33 bDid any people ever hear the voice of a god speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and still live? 34Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, cby signs, by wonders, and dby war, eby a mighty hand and fan outstretched arm, and by great deeds of terror, all of which the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35To you it was shown, gthat you might know that the Lord is God; hthere is no other besides him. 36 iOut of heaven he let you hear his voice, that he might discipline you. And on earth he let you see his great fire, and jyou heard his words out of the midst of the fire. 37And because khe loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them
Hebrew his offspring after him
and brought you out of Egypt mwith his own presence, by his great power,
38 ndriving out before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day,

Deuteronomy 29:2-4

2
Ch 29:1 in Hebrew
And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: p“You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land,
3the great qtrials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders. 4But to this day rthe Lord has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear.

Psalms 78

Tell the Coming Generation

A Maskil
Probably a musical or liturgical term
of tAsaph.

1 uGive ear, O my people, to my teaching;
incline your ears to the words of my mouth!
2 vI will open my mouth win a parable;
I will utter dark sayings from of old,
3things that we have heard and known,
that our xfathers have told us.
4We will not yhide them from their children,
but ztell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and aathe wonders that he has done.
5 He established aba testimony in acJacob
and appointed a law in adIsrael,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach to their children,
6that aethe next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
7so that they should set their hope in God
and not forget afthe works of God,
but agkeep his commandments;
8and that they should not be ahlike their fathers,
aia stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation ajwhose heart was not steadfast,
whose spirit was not faithful to God.
9 The Ephraimites, armed with
Hebrew  armed and shooting
the bow,
alturned back on the day of battle.
10They amdid not keep God’s covenant,
but refused to walk according to his law.
11They anforgot his works
and aothe wonders that he had shown them.
12In the sight of their fathers aphe performed wonders
in the land of Egypt, in aqthe fields of Zoan.
13He ardivided the sea and let them pass through it,
and made the waters asstand like a heap.
14 atIn the daytime he led them with a cloud,
and all the night with a fiery light.
15He ausplit rocks in the wilderness
and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
16He made streams come out of avthe rock
and caused waters to flow down like rivers.
17 Yet they sinned still more against him,
awrebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18They axtested God in their heart
by demanding the food they craved.
19They spoke against God, saying,
ayCan God azspread a table in the wilderness?
20 baHe struck the rock so that water gushed out
and streams overflowed.
Can he also give bread
or provide meat for his people?”
21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath;
bba fire was kindled against Jacob;
his anger rose against Israel,
22because they bcdid not believe in God
and did not trust his saving power.
23Yet he commanded the skies above
and bdopened the doors of heaven,
24and he berained down on them manna to eat
and gave them bfthe grain of heaven.
25Man ate of the bread of bgthe angels;
he sent them food bhin abundance.
26He bicaused the east wind to blow in the heavens,
and by his power he led out the south wind;
27he rained meat on them like bjdust,
winged birds like bkthe sand of the seas;
28he bllet them fall in the midst of their camp,
all around their dwellings.
29And they bmate and were well filled,
for he gave them what they bncraved.
30But before they had satisfied their craving,
bowhile the food was still in their mouths,
31the anger of God rose against them,
and he killed bpthe strongest of them
and laid low bqthe young men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this, they brstill sinned;
bsdespite his wonders, they did not believe.
33So he made bttheir days buvanish like
Hebrew in
a breath,
Or vapor

and their years in terror.
34When he killed them, they bxsought him;
they repented and sought God earnestly.
35They remembered that God was their byrock,
the Most High God their bzredeemer.
36But they caflattered him with their mouths;
they cblied to him with their tongues.
37Their ccheart was not cdsteadfast toward him;
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38Yet he, being cecompassionate,
cfatoned for their iniquity
and did not destroy them;
he restrained his anger often
and did not stir up all his wrath.
39He cgremembered that they were but chflesh,
cia wind that passes and comes not again.
40How often they cjrebelled against him in the wilderness
and ckgrieved him in clthe desert!
41They cmtested God again and again
and provoked cnthe Holy One of Israel.
42They codid not remember his power
Hebrew hand

or the day when he redeemed them from the foe,
43 cqwhen he performed his crsigns in Egypt
and his csmarvels in ctthe fields of Zoan.
44He cuturned their rivers to blood,
so that they could not drink of their streams.
45He sent among them swarms of cvflies, which devoured them,
and cwfrogs, which destroyed them.
46He gave their crops to cxthe destroying locust
and the fruit of their labor to the locust.
47He destroyed their vines with cyhail
and their sycamores with frost.
48He gave over their czcattle to the hail
and their flocks to thunderbolts.
49He let loose on them his burning anger,
wrath, indignation, and distress,
a company of dadestroying angels.
50He made a path for his anger;
he did not spare them from death,
but gave their lives over to the plague.
51He struck down every dbfirstborn in Egypt,
the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of dcHam.
52Then he led out his people ddlike sheep
and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53 deHe led them in safety, so that they dfwere not afraid,
but dgthe sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54And he brought them to his dhholy land,
dito the mountain which his right hand had djwon.
55He dkdrove out nations before them;
he dlapportioned them for a possession
and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
56 Yet they dmtested and dnrebelled against the Most High God
and did not keep his testimonies,
57but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;
they twisted like doa deceitful bow.
58For they dpprovoked him to anger with their dqhigh places;
they drmoved him to jealousy with their dsidols.
59When God heard, he was full of dtwrath,
and he utterly rejected Israel.
60He duforsook his dwelling at dvShiloh,
the tent where he dwelt among mankind,
61and delivered his dwpower to captivity,
his dxglory to the hand of the foe.
62He dygave his people over to the sword
and dzvented his wrath on his heritage.
63 eaFire devoured their young men,
and their young women had no ebmarriage song.
64Their ecpriests fell by the sword,
and their edwidows made no lamentation.
65Then the Lord eeawoke as from sleep,
like a strong man shouting because of wine.
66And he efput his adversaries to rout;
he put them to everlasting shame.
67 He rejected the tent of egJoseph;
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68but he chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion, which he ehloves.
69He eibuilt his sanctuary like the high heavens,
like the earth, which he has founded forever.
70He ejchose David his servant
and took him from the sheepfolds;
71from ekfollowing the nursing ewes he brought him
to elshepherd Jacob his people,
Israel his eminheritance.
72With enupright heart he shepherded them
and eoguided them with his skillful hand.

Psalms 105

Tell of All His Wonderful Works

1 epOh give thanks to the Lord; eqcall upon his name;
ermake known his deeds among the peoples!
2Sing to him, sing praises to him;
estell of all his wondrous works!
3Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
4Seek the Lord and his etstrength;
euseek his presence continually!
5Remember the evwondrous works that he has done,
his miracles, and ewthe judgments he uttered,
6O offspring of exAbraham, his servant,
children of Jacob, his eychosen ones!
7 He is the Lord our God;
his ezjudgments are in all the earth.
8He faremembers his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for fba thousand generations,
9 fcthe covenant that he made with Abraham,
his fdsworn promise to Isaac,
10which he confirmed to feJacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11saying, ff“To you I will give the land of Canaan
as fgyour portion for an inheritance.”
12 When they were fhfew in number,
of little account, and fisojourners in it,
13wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
14he fjallowed no one to oppress them;
he fkrebuked kings on their account,
15saying, flTouch not my anointed ones,
do my prophets no harm!”
16 When he fmsummoned a famine on the land
and fnbroke all supply
Hebrew staff
of bread,
17he had fpsent a man ahead of them,
Joseph, who was fqsold as a slave.
18His frfeet were hurt with fetters;
his neck was put in a collar of iron;
19until fswhat he had said came to pass,
the word of the Lord fttested him.
20 fuThe king sent and fvreleased him;
the ruler of the peoples set him free;
21he fwmade him lord of his house
and ruler of all his possessions,
22to bind
Septuagint, Syriac, Jerome instruct
his princes at his pleasure
and to teach his elders wisdom.
23 Then fyIsrael came to Egypt;
Jacob fzsojourned in gathe land of Ham.
24And the Lord gbmade his people very fruitful
and made them stronger than their foes.
25He gcturned their hearts to hate his people,
to gddeal craftily with his servants.
26 He gesent Moses, his servant,
and Aaron, gfwhom he had chosen.
27 ggThey performed his signs among them
and miracles in ghthe land of Ham.
28He gisent darkness, and made the land dark;
they gjdid not rebel
Septuagint, Syriac omit  not
against his words.
29He turned their waters into blood
and glcaused their fish to die.
30Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in gmthe chambers of their kings.
31He spoke, and there came gnswarms of flies,
goand gnats throughout their country.
32He gave them hail for rain,
and fiery gplightning bolts through their land.
33He struck down their vines and fig trees,
and gqshattered the trees of their country.
34He spoke, and the grlocusts came,
young locusts without number,
35which devoured all the vegetation in their land
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36He gsstruck down all the firstborn in their land,
gtthe firstfruits of all their strength.
37 Then he brought out Israel with gusilver and gold,
and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
38 gvEgypt was glad when they departed,
for gwdread of them had fallen upon it.
39 He gxspread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
40 gyThey asked, and he gzbrought quail,
and gave them habread from heaven in abundance.
41He opened the rock, and hbwater gushed out;
it flowed through hcthe desert like a river.
42For he hdremembered his holy promise,
and heAbraham, his servant.
43 So he brought his people out with joy,
his hfchosen ones with hgsinging.
44And he hhgave them the lands of the nations,
and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,
45that they might hikeep his statutes
and hjobserve his laws.
hkPraise the Lord!
