Psalm 78:1-4
Contemporary English Version
(A special psalm by Asaph.)
What God Has Done for His People
1 My friends, I beg you
to listen as I teach.
2 (A) I will give instruction
and explain the mystery
of what happened long ago.
3 These are things we learned
from our ancestors,
4 and we will tell them
to the next generation.
We won't keep secret
the glorious deeds
and the mighty miracles
of the Lord.
Psalm 78:12-16
Contemporary English Version
13 (C) God made a path in the sea
and piled up the water
as he led them across.
14 (D) He guided them during the day
with a cloud,
and each night he led them
with a flaming fire.
15 (E) God made water flow
from rocks he split open
in the desert,
and his people drank freely,
as though from a lake.
16 He made streams gush out
like rivers from rocks.
