Psalms 78:2-8

2I will 1openH6605 my mouthH6310 in a parableH4912; I will tellH5042 2riddlesH2420 of oldH6924,3WhichH834 we have heardH8085 and knownH3045, And 3our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us.4We will 4not concealH3582 them from their childrenH1121, But we will 5tellH5608 the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LordH3068, And His powerH5807 and His 6wondrousH6381 worksH6381 that He has doneH6213.

5For He establishedH6965 a 7testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, And appointedH7760 a 8lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, WhichH834 He 9commandedH6680 our fathersH1 That they were to 10 11teachH3045 them to their childrenH1121,6 12SoH4616 thatH4616 the generationH1755 to comeH314 would knowH3045, 13the childrenH1121 yet to be bornH3205, That they would ariseH6965 and 14tellH5608 them to their childrenH1121,7So that they would putH7760 their confidenceH3689 in GodH430 And 15not forgetH7911 the worksH4611 of GodH410, But 16complyH5341 withH5341 His commandmentsH4687,8And 17not be like their fathersH1, A 18stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755, A generationH1755 that 19did not 20prepareH3559 its heartH3820 And whose spiritH7307 was not 21faithfulH539 to GodH410.
