God is SHE/God is THEY Psalms

Psalm 78

A maskil of Asaph.
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 ancestors have told us.
4. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and Their strength, and Their wonderful works that They have done.
5. For They established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which They commanded our ancestors, 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 Their commandments:
8. And might not be as their ancestors, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast 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 Their law;
11. And forgat Their works, and Their wonders that They had shewed them.
12. Marvellous things did They in the sight of their ancestors, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13. They divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and They made the waters to stand as an heap.
14. In the daytime also They led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15. They clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
16. They brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17. And they sinned yet more against Them by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
18. And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
19. Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20. Behold, They smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can They give bread also? can They provide flesh for Their people?
21. Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth: 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 Their salvation:
23. Though They 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. The people did eat angels' food: They sent them meat to the full.
26. They caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by Their power They brought in the south wind.
27. They rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
28. And They let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
29. So they did eat, and were well filled: for They gave them their own desire;
30. They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
31. The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen people of Israel.
32. For all this they sinned still, and believed not for Their wondrous works.
33. Therefore their days did They consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34. When They slew them, then they sought Them: 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 Them with their mouth, and they lied unto Them with their tongues.
37. For their heart was not right with Them, neither were they stedfast in Their covenant.
38. But They, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned They Their anger away, and did not stir up all Their wrath.
39. For They remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
40. How oft did they provoke Them in the wilderness, and grieve Them in the desert!
41. Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
42. They remembered not Their hand, nor the day when They delivered them from the enemy.
43. How They had wrought Their signs in Egypt, and Their wonders in the field of Zoan.
44. And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
45. They sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
46. They gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
47. They destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
48. They gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49. They cast upon them the fierceness of Their anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
50. They made a way to Their anger; They spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
51. And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
52. But made Their own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53. And They led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54. And They brought them to the border of Their sanctuary, even to this mountain, which Their right hand had purchased.
55. They 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 Their testimonies:
57. But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their ancestors: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58. For they provoked Their to anger with their high places, and moved Their to jealousy with their graven images.
59. When God heard this, They were wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
60. So that They forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among Their people;
61. And delivered Their strength into captivity, and Their glory into the enemy's hand.
62. They gave Their people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with Their inheritance.
63. The fire consumed their warriors; and their youth 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 warrior that shouteth by reason of wine.
66. And They smote Their enemies in the hinder parts: They put them to a perpetual reproach.
67. Moreover They refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68. But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which They loved.
69. And They built Their sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which They have established for ever.
70. He chose David also Their servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
71. From following the ewes great with young They 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 skilfulness of his hands.
