span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.78.1" class="versetxt"> Psalmus Asaph. [Deus, venerunt gentes in h�reditatem tuam;
polluerunt templum sanctum tuum;
posuerunt Jerusalem in pomorum custodiam.
Posuerunt morticina servorum tuorum escas volatilibus c�li;
carnes sanctorum tuorum bestiis terr�.
Effuderunt sanguinem eorum tamquam aquam in circuitu Jerusalem,
et non erat qui sepeliret.
Facti sumus opprobrium vicinis nostris;
subsannatio et illusio his qui in circuitu nostro sunt.
Usquequo, Domine, irasceris in finem?
accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus?
Effunde iram tuam in gentes qu� te non noverunt,
et in regna qu� nomen tuum non invocaverunt:
quia comederunt Jacob,
et locum ejus desolaverunt.
Ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum;
cito anticipent nos misericordi� tu�,
quia pauperes facti sumus nimis.
Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster,
et propter gloriam nominis tui, Domine, libera nos:
et propitius esto peccatis nostris, propter nomen tuum.
Ne forte dicant in gentibus: Ubi est Deus eorum?
et innotescat in nationibus coram oculis nostris
ultio sanguinis servorum tuorum qui effusus est.
Intro�at in conspectu tuo gemitus compeditorum;
secundum magnitudinem brachii tui posside filios mortificatorum:
et redde vicinis nostris septuplum in sinu eorum;
improperium ipsorum quod exprobraverunt tibi, Domine.
Nos autem populus tuus, et oves pascu� tu�,
confitebimur tibi in s�culum;
in generationem et generationem annuntiabimus laudem tuam.]

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Psalms 105:29, Exodus 7:17-21, Revelation 16:3-6, The miracles mentioned in this and the four subsequent verses, evidently shew the power of God over the elements of nature, which at that time were the objects of Egyptian worship.

Reciprocal: Exodus 7:20 - all the waters

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And had turned their rivers into blood,.... The river Nile and its seven streams; this was the first of the plagues of Egypt, Exodus 7:20, and was a just retaliation for drowning the infants of the Israelites in their river, Exodus 1:22, a like plague will be inflicted on spiritual Egypt, and with equal justice; see

Revelation 11:8,

and their floods, that they could not drink; the rivulets that flowed from the Nile, and every spring or confluence of water; or rather by these rivers and floods are meant the canals and ditches, which, as Jarchi e observes, were made by the hands of men, from the banks of the river Nile, to water their fields with.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And had turned their rivers into blood - Exodus 7:20. There was properly but one river in Egypt - the Nile. But there were several branches of that river at the mouth; and there were numerous artificial streams or canals cut from the river, to anyone of which the word river might be also given. Compare the notes at Isaiah 11:15.

And their floods ... - Their streams; the canals and branches of the Nile, where they usually obtained a supply of water.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 78:44. Turned their rivers into blood — See on Exodus 7:20.
