Ž 78, 1-72

1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: 3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he has done. 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: 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: " 7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: 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 steadfast with God. " 9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. 10 "They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; " 11 And forgotten about his works, and his wonders that he had showed them. 12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 13 "He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. " 14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. 16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking food for their lust. 19 "Yea, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? " 20 "Behold, he stroke the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? " 21 "Therefore the LORD heard this, and was angry: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; " 22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: 23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them food to the full. 26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. 27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like the sand of the sea: 28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 29 "So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; " 30 They were not cut off from their lust. But while their food was yet in their mouths, 31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and stroke down the chosen men of Israel. 32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. 33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. 34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. 35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. 36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant. 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. 39 "For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passes away, and comes not again. " 40 How often did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! 41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. 42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. 43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan. 44 "And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. " 45 "He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. " 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 stroke 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 angry, 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 angry 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. " 65 Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouts by reason of wine. 66 And he stroke his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach. 67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. 69 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he has established for ever. 70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: 71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. 72 "So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. "

Z 78 - Tento žalm je prvým z tzv. historických žalmov (78, 105, 106). Asaf, ktorý žil ešte i za kráľa Šalamúna (2 Krn 5,12), v žalme zachytáva históriu vyvoleného národa od odchodu z Egypta až po kráľa Dávida, presnejšie, až po vzburu desiatich severných kmeňov, ktorú viedol Seba z Benjamínovho rodu a ktorá nasledovala hneď po potlačení Absolónovej vzbury. Bolo to teda už ku koncu Dávidovho kráľovstva (1012-972).

Z 78,2 - Bude rozprávať v "porekadlách", "v podobenstvách" (hebr. ,mašál'), v poučných obrazoch a v piesni.

Z 78,9 - Kmeň Efraimov počtom veľký, ale vo viere v Boha chabý.

Z 78,51 - "Stany Chámove" označujú Egypt.

Z 78,61 - "Svoju silu… nádheru" - archu zmluvy.

Z 78,67 - Archa sa už nevracia do Šíla, ktoré je na území Efraima, ale je prenesená na vrch Sion v Júdsku, kde jej Dávid postavil svätyňu (1 Sam 6,1 n.; 7,1.2; 2 Sam 6). Slová sú však aj mesiášske. Veď pozemský Jeruzalem bol zničený (587).

Z 78,71 - Aby vládol nielen nad kmeňom Júdu, ale nad celým národom, ktorý sa tu označuje menami Izrael a Jakub.
