Noah Webster's Bible 1833
| 78:1 | Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ear to the words of my mouth. |
| 78:2 | I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: |
| 78:3 | Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. |
| 78:4 | 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 hath done. |
| 78:5 | 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: |
| 78:6 | That the generation to come might know them, even the children who should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: |
| 78:7 | That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: |
| 78:8 | 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. |
| 78:9 | The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. |
| 78:10 | They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; |
| 78:11 | And forgot his works, and his wonders that he had shown them. |
| 78:12 | Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. |
| 78:13 | He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as a heap. |
| 78:14 | In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. |
| 78:15 | He cleaved the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. |
| 78:16 | He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. |
| 78:17 | And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the Most High in the wilderness. |
| 78:18 | And they tempted God in their heart by asking food for their desire. |
| 78:19 | Yes, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? |
| 78:20 | 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? |
| 78:21 | Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; |
| 78:22 | Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: |
| 78:23 | Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, |
| 78:24 | And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. |
| 78:25 | Man ate angels' food: he sent them food to the full. |
| 78:26 | He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. |
| 78:27 | He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: |
| 78:28 | And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, around their habitations. |
| 78:29 | So they ate, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; |
| 78:30 | They were not estranged from their desire: but while their meat was yet in their mouths, |
| 78:31 | The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. |
| 78:32 | For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. |
| 78:33 | Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. |
| 78:34 | When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God. |
| 78:35 | And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. |
| 78:36 | Nevertheless they flattered him with their mouth, and they lied to him with their tongues. |
| 78:37 | For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant. |
| 78:38 | But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yes, many a time he turned his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. |
| 78:39 | For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. |
| 78:40 | How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! |
| 78:41 | Yes, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. |
| 78:42 | They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. |
| 78:43 | How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: |
| 78:44 | And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. |
| 78:45 | He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. |
| 78:46 | He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust. |
| 78:47 | He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost. |
| 78:48 | He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. |
| 78:49 | He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. |
| 78:50 | He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; |
| 78:51 | And smote all the first-born in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: |
| 78:52 | But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. |
| 78:53 | And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. |
| 78:54 | And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. |
| 78:55 | 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. |
| 78:56 | Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: |
| 78:57 | But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. |
| 78:58 | For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. |
| 78:59 | When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: |
| 78:60 | So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; |
| 78:61 | And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. |
| 78:62 | He gave over his people also to the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. |
| 78:63 | The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage. |
| 78:64 | Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. |
| 78:65 | Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. |
| 78:66 | And he smote his enemies in the hinder part: he put them to a perpetual reproach. |
| 78:67 | Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: |
| 78:68 | But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. |
| 78:69 | And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. |
| 78:70 | He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheep-folds: |
| 78:71 | From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. |
| 78:72 | So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. |
Noah Webster's Bible 1833
While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
