Psalms 77:5

Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

“Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.

In that day, Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the twisted serpent; and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea.

Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head. He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.

We traveled from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.

Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.

He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.

Yahweh’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.

Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.

and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh.”

It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’

Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.

who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint;

“God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.

As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.

I will remember Yah’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.

You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.

Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.

Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells. No son of man passes by it.

“Yet I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.

“As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things.”

You shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall tell him, ‘By strength of hand Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as great as this thing is, or has been heard like it?

Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes black the day terrify it.

He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.

Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.

We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.

You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

Yahweh reigns! He is clothed with majesty! Yahweh is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved.

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is no other. I am God, and there is none like me.

Who has believed our message? To whom has Yahweh’s arm been revealed?

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, “Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among them?”

“Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “I remember for you the kindness of your youth, the love of your weddings; how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

Speak and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the middle of his rivers, that has said, ‘My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.’

“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.

My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”

Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”

He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from among another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our God has commanded you mean?”

that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in the future, saying, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’

Gideon said to him, “Oh, my lord, if Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, ‘Didn’t Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?’ But now Yahweh has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.”

Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”

Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.

They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.

I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!

Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.

We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?

Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.

I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

Remember his marvelous works that he has done: his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

I remember your ordinances of old, Yahweh, and have comforted myself.

For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.

The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples. The islands will wait for me, and they will trust my arm.

Yahweh has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored,

They didn’t say, ‘Where is Yahweh who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that no one passed through, and where no man lived?’

Tell your children about it, and have your children tell their children, and their children, another generation.

In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen, and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it.

You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot.

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

saying: “We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power and reigned.
