Psalm 78:<\/p>\n

Author:<\/em>
\nAsaf–a composer of several psalms and a patriarch of a family of singers in the Beit HaMikdash (Temple).<\/p>\n

Genre: <\/em>
\nPsalm of Wisdom–This psalm contains teachings and wise advice and is meant to instruct people on how to live a Godly life.<\/p>\n

Chapter Summary:<\/em>
\nAsaf depicts all of the awesome and wondrous things that God has done on behalf of the Jewish people, from the time of the Exodus from Egypt to the reign of King David. He stresses David\u2019s greatness and the excellence of the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple) built by his son, King Solomon.<\/p>\n

This psalm consists of seventy-two verses, subdivided into four parts.
\nIn verses 1-8, the psalmist emphasizes the obligation to relate the wondrous deeds which God performed during the Exodus from Egypt. He does so not only to praise the Lord, but also to install the fear of God in this and future generations, so that they would not sin as did their forefathers.
\nIn verses 9-39, he tells of the parting of the Red Sea and of the miracles performed in the desert, as well as the rebellion of that generation and their ensuing punishment. God was nonetheless compassionate, the author reminds us, and turned away his anger on numerous occasions.
\nIn verses 40-55, he tells of the ten plagues in Egypt and the subsequent conquest of the Land of Israel. Again, he describes the rebellion of the generation.
\nIn verses 56-72, Asaf further tells of the acts of salvation enjoyed by Israel before the selection of David as king. He continues to focus on sins committed, this time during the period of the Judges, the recent destruction of Shiloh, and continuing through the period of the anointing of David.<\/p>\n
