Psalms 78

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.	1 ܥܡܝ ܨܘܬ ܢܡܘܣܝ ܘܐܬܛܦܝܣܘ ܘܨܠܘ ܐ̈ܕܢܝܟܘܢ ܠܡ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܕܦܘܡܝ
2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:	2 ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܝ ܒܡܬ̈ܠܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܦܠܐ̈ܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ
3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.	3 ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܢ ܝܕܥܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܒ̈ܗܝܢ ܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܢ
4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.	4 ܕܠܐ ܢܟܣܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܕܪܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܢܫܬܥܐ ܬܫ̈ܒܚܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܚܝܠܗ ܘܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܗ ܕܥܒܕ
5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:	5 ܕܐܩܝܡ ܣܗܕܘܬܗ ܒܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܢܡܘܣܗ ܣܡ ܒܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܕ ܠܐ̈ܒܗܝܢ ܕܢܘܕܥܘܢ ܠܒ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ
6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:	6 ܕܢܕܥܘܢ ܠܕܪܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܒܢ̈ܝܐ ܕܡܬܝܠܕܝܢ ܘܩܝܡܝܢ ܕܢܫܬܥܘܢ ܠܒ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ
7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:	7 ܕܢܗܘܐ ܣܒܪܗܘܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܛܥܘܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܘܗܝ ܢܛܪܘܢ
8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.	8 ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐ̈ܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܕܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܡܡܪܡܪܢܐ ܕܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܩܢ ܠܒܗ ܘܠܐ ܗܝܡܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܕܪܘܚܗ
9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.	9 ܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܐܦܪܝܡ ܕܡܬܚܘ ܝܬܪܐ ܘܫܕܘ ܒܩܫܬܐ ܘܗܦܟܘ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܩܪܒܐ
10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;	10 ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܢܛܪܘ ܩܝܡܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܢܡܘܣܗ ܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܠܡܗܠܟܘ
11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.	11 ܘܛܥܘ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܘܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܗ ܕܚܘܝ ܐܢܘܢ
12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.	12 ܩܕܡ ܐ̈ܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܕܥܒܕ ܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܒܚ̈ܩܠܬܐ ܕܨܥܢ
13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.	13 ܬܪܥ ܝܡܐ ܘܐܥܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܩܝܡ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܙܩ̈ܐ
14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.	14 ܕܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܒܥܢܢܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܠܠܝܐ ܒܙܗܪܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ
15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.	15 ܬܪܥ ܛܪܢܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܐܫܩܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܢ ܬܗܘܡܐ ܪܒܐ
16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.	16 ܐܦܩ ܪ̈ܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܪܕܘ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܢܗܪ̈ܘܬܐ
17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.	17 ܘܐܘܣܦܘ ܬܘܒ ܥܡܐ ܠܡܚܛܐ ܘܠܡܡܪܡܪܘ ܠܡܪܝܡܐ ܒܨܗܝܐ
18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.	18 ܘܢܣܝܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܠܡܫܐܠ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ
19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?	19 ܘܪܛܢܘ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܡܣܕܪ ܠܢ ܦܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ
20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?	20 ܐܢ ܡܚܐ ܠܛܪܢܐ ܘܪܕܘ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܘܐܪ̈ܓܠܬܐ ܐܪܕܝ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܠܚܡܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܢ ܐܘ ܡܛܝܒ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܠܥܡܗ
21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;	21 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܫܡܥ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܪܓܙ ܘܢܘܪܐ ܐܚܕܬ ܒܝܥܩܘܒ ܐܦ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܣܠܩ ܒܐܝܣܪܝܠ
22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:	22 ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܣܒܪܘ ܠܦܘܪܩܢܗ
23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,	23 ܘܦܩܕ ܠܥ̈ܢܢܐ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ ܘܬܪ̈ܥܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܐܬܦܬܚܘ
24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.	24 ܐܚܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܢܐ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ
25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.	25 ܠܚܡܐ ܕܡܠܐ̈ܟܐ ܐܟܠ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܨܝܕܐ ܫܕܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܣܒܥ
26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.	26 ܐܫܒ ܪ̈ܘܚܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܕܒܪ ܒܥܘܫܢܗ ܠܬܝܡܢܐ
27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:	27 ܐܚܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܣܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܦܪܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܚܠܐ ܕܝܡ̈ܡܐ ܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܓܦܐ
28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.	28 ܘܢܦܠܘ ܒܡܫܪ̈ܝܬܗܘܢ ܚܕܪ̈ܝ ܡܫ̈ܟܢܝܗܘܢ
29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;	29 ܐܟܠܘ ܘܣܒܥܘ ܛܒ ܘܐܪ̈ܓܝܓܬܗܘܢ ܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ
30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,	30 ܘܠܐ ܦܪܩܘ ܡܢ ܪ̈ܓܝܓܬܗܘܢ ܘܥܕ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܗܘܢ ܒܦܘܡܗܘܢ
31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.	31 ܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܣܠܩ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܩܛܠ ܡܢ ܥܬܝܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܓܒ̈ܝܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܒܪܟ
32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.	32 ܒܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܚܛܘ ܘܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܗ
33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.	33 ܓܡܪܘ ܒܣܪܝܩܘܬܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܫ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ ܡܣܪܗܒܐܝܬ
34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.	34 ܡܐ ܕܩܛܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܗܦܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܩܕܡܝܢ ܠܘܬܗ
35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.	35 ܥܗܕܘ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܥܕܘܪܗܘܢ ܘܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܝܡܐ ܦܪܘܩܗܘܢ
36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.	36 ܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܒܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܘܒܠܫܢܗܘܢ ܟܕܒܘ ܒܗ
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.	37 ܠܒܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܬܩܢܘ ܥܡܗ ܘܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܩܝܡܗ
38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.	38 ܘܗܘ ܡܪܚܡܢ ܘܫܒܩ ܚ̈ܛܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܚܒܠ ܡܣܓܐ ܠܡܗܦܟܘ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܘܠܐ ܡܥܝܪ ܟܠܗ̇ ܚܡܬܗ
39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.	39 ܐܬܕܟܪ ܕܒܣܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܙܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܦܟܐ
40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!	40 ܗܢܘܢ ܡܪܡܪܘܗܝ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܐܪܓܙܘܗܝ ܒܐܫܝܡܘܢ
41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.	41 ܘܗܦܟܘ ܘܢܣܝܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܓܪܓܘ
42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.	42 ܘܠܐ ܐܬܕܟܪܘ ܐܝܕܗ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܦܪܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܘܨܐ
43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:	43 ܕܥܒܕ ܒܡܨܪܝܢ ܐܬ̈ܘܬܗ ܘܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܗ ܒܚ̈ܩܠܬܐ ܕܨܥܢ
44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.	44 ܕܗܦܟ ܢܗܪ̈ܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܕܡܐ ܘܪ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܬܘܢ ܡ̈ܝܐ
45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.	45 ܫܕܪ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܚܠܘܛܐ ܘܐܟܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܘܪ̈ܕܥܐ ܘܚܒܠ ܐܢܘܢ
46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.	46 ܝܗܒ ܠܩܡܨܐ ܥ̈ܠܠܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܐܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܙܚܠܐ
47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.	47 ܬܒܪ ܒܒܪܕܐ ܓܘܦܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܬܐ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ ܒܓܠܝܕܐ
48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.	48 ܐܫܠܡ ܠܒܪܕܐ ܒܥܝܪܗܘܢ ܘܩܢܝܢܗܘܢ ܠܝܩܕܢܐ
49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.	49 ܫܕܪ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܚܡܬܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܗ ܚܡܬܐ ܘܪܘܓܙܐ ܘܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܫܕܪ ܒܝܕ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܒܝܫܐ
50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;	50 ܘܬܪܥ ܫܒܝ̈ܠܐ ܒܝܫ̈ܐ ܘܠܐ ܚܣܟ ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܢܦܫܬ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܚܝ̈ܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܐܫܠܡ
51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:	51 ܩܛܠ ܟܠ ܒܘܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܪܝܫ ܟܠܗ ܝܠܕܗܘܢ ܒܡܫܟܢܐ ܕܚܡ
52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.	52 ܐܫܩܠ ܠܥܡܗ ܐܝܟ ܥܢܐ ܘܕܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܓܙܪܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ
53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.	53 ܐܫܪܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܣܒܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܚܠܘ ܘܠܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝܗܘܢ ܟܣܝ ܝܡܐ
54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.	54 ܐܝܬܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܩܢܬ ܝܡܝܢܗ
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.	55 ܐܘܒܕ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܐܪܡܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܚ̈ܒܠܐ ܕܝܪܬܘܬܗ ܘܫܪܘ ܒܡܫ̈ܟܢܝܗܘܢ ܫܒ̈ܛܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:	56 ܘܢܣܝܘ ܘܡܪܡܪܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܝܡܐ ܘܣܗ̈ܕܘܬܗ ܠܐ ܢܛܪܘ
57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.	57 ܘܗܦܟܘ ܘܕܓܠܘ ܐܝܟ ܐ̈ܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܗܦܟܘ ܐܝܟ ܩܫܬܐ ܢܟܝܠܬܐ
58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.	58 ܘܐܪܓܙܘܗܝ ܒ̈ܥܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܒܦܬܟܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܐܛܢܘܗܝ
59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:	59 ܘܫܡܥ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܬܚܡܬ ܘܪܓܙ ܛܒ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;	60 ܘܛܥܐ ܠܡܫܟܢܐ ܕܫܝܠܘ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܕܫܪܐ ܒܝܬ ܒܢܝܢܫ̈ܐ
61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.	61 ܝܗܒ ܠܫܒܝܬܐ ܥܡܗ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܠܘܨܐ
62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.	62 ܐܫܠܡ ܥܡܗ ܠܚܪܒܐ ܘܐܗܡܝ ܡܢ ܝܪܬܘܬܗ
63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.	63 ܠܓܕܘ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܐܟܠܬ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܒܬ̈ܘܠܬܗܘܢ ܐܬܛܪܦ
64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.	64 ܘܟܗ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ ܢܦܠܘ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܘܐܪ̈ܡܠܬܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܬܒ̈ܟܝ
65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.	65 ܐܬܬܥܝܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܟܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܦܨܗ ܚܡܪܗ
66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.	66 ܡܚܐ ܠܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܘܗܝ ܠܒܣܬܪܗ ܘܚܣܕܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ
67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:	67 ܐܣܠܝ ܠܡܫܟܢܐ ܕܝܘܣܦ ܘܒܫܒܛܐ ܕܐܦܪܝܡ ܠܐ ܐܬܪܥܝ
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.	68 ܓܒܐ ܠܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ. ܠܛܘܪܐ ܕܨܗܝܘܢ ܕܪܚܡ
69 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.	69 ܒܢܐ ܥܠ ܪܘܡܐ ܡܩܕܫܗ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܐܬܩܢܗ̇ ܠܥܠܡ
70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:	70 ܓܒܐ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܥܒܕܗ ܘܕܒܪܗ ܡܢ ܓܙܪܐ ܕܥܢܐ
71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.	71 ܘܡܢ ܒܣܬܪ ܥܢܐ ܕܡܝܢܩܐ ܠܡܪܥܐ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܥܡܗ ܘܠܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܝܪܬܘܬܗ
72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.	72 ܘܪܥܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܬܡܝܡܘܬܐ ܕܠܒܗ ܘܒܣܘܟܠܐ ܕܐ̈ܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ
