Psalms 78:2-8

2I will openH6605 my mouthH6310 in a parableH4912; I will utterH5042 darkH2420 sayingsH2420 of old:

3WhichH834 weH834 have heardH8085 and knownH3045, and our fathersH1 have toldH5608 usH3045.

4WeH834 will notH3808 hideH3582 them from their childrenH1121, tellingH5608 to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5807, and his wondrousH6381 worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213.

5For he establishedH6965 a testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, and appointedH7760 a lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, whichH834 he commandedH6680 our fathersH1, that they should makeH7760 them knownH3045 to their childrenH1121:

6That the generationH1755 to comeH314 might knowH3045 them, even the childrenH1121 which should be bornH3205; who should ariseH6965 and tellH5608 them to their childrenH1121:

7That they might setH7760 their hope in GodH430, and notH3808 forgetH7911 the worksH4611 of GodH430, but keepH5341 his commandmentsH4687:

8And might notH3808 be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 notH3808 their heartH3820 aright, and whose spiritH7307 was notH3808 stedfast with GodH410.
