77:1 intellectus Asaph adtendite populus meus legem meam inclinate aurem vestram in verba oris mei	77:1. Understanding for Asaph. Attend, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
77:2 aperiam in parabola os meum eloquar propositiones ab initio	77:2. I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter propositions from the beginning.
77:3 quanta audivimus et cognovimus ea et patres nostri narraverunt nobis	77:3. How great things have we heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
77:4 non sunt occultata a filiis eorum in generationem alteram narrantes laudes Domini et virtutes eius et mirabilia eius quae fecit	77:4. They have not been hidden from their children, in another generation. Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, and his wonders which he hath done.
77:5 et suscitavit testimonium in Iacob et legem posuit in Israhel quanta mandavit patribus nostris nota facere ea filiis suis	77:5. And he set up a testimony in Jacob: and made a law in Israel. How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known to their children:
77:6 ut cognoscat generatio altera filii qui nascentur et exsurgent et narrabunt filiis suis	77:6. That another generation might know them. The children that should be born and should rise up, and declare them to their children.
77:7 ut ponant in Deo spem suam et non obliviscantur opera Dei et mandata eius exquirant	77:7. That they may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: and may seek his commandments.
77:8 ne fiant sicut patres eorum generatio prava et exasperans generatio quae non direxit cor suum et non est creditus cum Deo spiritus eius	77:8. That they may not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation. A generation that set not their heart aright: and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
77:9 filii Effrem intendentes et mittentes arcus conversi sunt in die belli	77:9. The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: they have turned back in the day of battle.
77:10 non custodierunt testamentum Dei et in lege eius noluerunt ambulare	77:10. They kept not the covenant of God: and in his law they would not walk.
77:11 et obliti sunt benefactorum eius et mirabilium eius quae ostendit eis	77:11. And they forgot his benefits, and his wonders that he had shewn them.
77:12 coram patribus eorum quae fecit mirabilia in terra Aegypti in campo Taneos	77:12. Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis.
77:13 interrupit mare et perduxit eos statuit aquas quasi utrem	77:13. He divided the sea and brought them through: and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel.
77:14 et deduxit eos in nube diei et tota nocte in inluminatione ignis	77:14. And he conducted them with a cloud by day: and all the night with a light of fire.
77:15 interrupit petram in heremo et adaquavit eos velut in abysso multa	77:15. He struck the rock in the wilderness: and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep.
77:16 et eduxit aquam de petra et deduxit tamquam flumina aquas	77:16. He brought forth water out of the rock: and made streams run down as rivers.
77:17 et adposuerunt adhuc peccare ei in ira excitaverunt Excelsum in inaquoso	77:17. And they added yet more sin against him: they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.
77:18 et temptaverunt Deum in cordibus suis ut peterent escas animabus suis	77:18. And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking meat for their desires.
77:19 et male locuti sunt de Deo dixerunt numquid poterit Deus parare mensam in deserto	77:19. And they spoke ill of God: they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
77:20 quoniam percussit petram et fluxerunt aquae et torrentes inundaverunt numquid et panem potest dare aut parare mensam populo suo	77:20. Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide a table for his people?
77:21 ideo audivit Dominus et distulit et ignis accensus est in Iacob et ira ascendit in Israhel	77:21. Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel.
77:22 quia non crediderunt in Deo nec speraverunt in salutare eius	77:22. Because they believed not in God: and trusted not in his salvation.
77:23 et mandavit nubibus desuper et ianuas caeli aperuit	77:23. And he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of heaven.
77:24 et pluit illis manna ad manducandum et panem caeli dedit eis	77:24. And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the bread of heaven.
77:25 panem angelorum manducavit homo cibaria misit eis in abundantiam	77:25. Man ate the bread of angels: he sent them provisions in abundance.
77:26 transtulit austrum de caelo et induxit in virtute sua africum	77:26. He removed the south wind from heaven: and by his power brought in the southwest wind.
77:27 et pluit super eos sicut pulverem carnes et sicut harenam maris volatilia pinnata	77:27. And he rained upon them flesh as dust: and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.
77:28 et ceciderunt in medio castrorum eorum circa tabernacula eorum	77:28. And they fell in the midst of their camp, round about their pavilions.
77:29 et manducaverunt et saturati sunt nimis et desiderium eorum adtulit eis	77:29. So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire:
77:30 non sunt fraudati a desiderio suo adhuc escae eorum erant in ore ipsorum	77:30. they were not defrauded of that which they craved. As yet their meat was in their mouth:
77:31 et ira Dei ascendit in eos et occidit pingues eorum et electos Israhel inpedivit	77:31. And the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones amongst them, and brought down the chosen men of Israel.
77:32 in omnibus his peccaverunt adhuc et non crediderunt mirabilibus eius	77:32. In all these things they sinned still: and they behaved not for his wondrous works.
77:33 et defecerunt in vanitate dies eorum et anni eorum cum festinatione	77:33. And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years in haste.
77:34 cum occideret eos quaerebant eum et revertebantur et diluculo veniebant ad Deum	77:34. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.
77:35 et rememorati sunt quia Deus adiutor est eorum et Deus excelsus redemptor eorum est	77:35. And they remembered that God was their helper: and the most high God their redeemer.
77:36 et dilexerunt eum in ore suo et lingua sua mentiti sunt ei	77:36. And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they lied unto him:
77:37 cor autem ipsorum non erat rectum cum eo nec fideles habiti sunt in testamento eius	77:37. But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.
77:38 ipse autem est misericors et propitius fiet peccatis eorum et non perdet eos et abundabit ut avertat iram suam et non accendet omnem iram suam	77:38. But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle all his wrath.
77:39 et recordatus est quia caro sunt spiritus vadens et non rediens	77:39. And he remembered that they are flesh: a wind that goeth and returneth not.
77:40 quotiens exacerbaverunt eum in deserto in ira concitaverunt eum in inaquoso	77:40. How often did they provoke him in the desert: and move him to wrath in the place without water?
77:41 et conversi sunt et temptaverunt Deum et Sanctum Israhel exacerbaverunt	77:41. And they turned back and tempted God: and grieved the holy one of Israel.
77:42 non sunt recordati manus eius die qua redemit eos de manu tribulantis	77:42. They remembered not his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:
77:43 sicut posuit in Aegypto signa sua et prodigia sua in campo Taneos	77:43. How he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
77:44 et convertit in sanguine flumina eorum et imbres eorum ne biberent	77:44. And he turned their rivers into blood, and their showers that they might not drink.
77:45 misit in eos cynomiam et comedit eos et ranam et disperdit eos	77:45. He sent amongst them divers sorts of flies, which devoured them: and frogs which destroyed them.
77:46 et dedit erugini fructus eorum et labores eorum lucustae	77:46. And he gave up their fruits to the blast, and their labours to the locust.
77:47 et occidit in grandine vineam eorum et moros eorum in pruina	77:47. And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.

77:57 et averterunt se et non servaverunt pactum quemadmodum patres eorum conversi sunt in arcum pravum	77:57. And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.
