Psalms 78:1-11

1Give earH238, O my peopleH5971, to my lawH8451: inclineH5186 your earH241 to the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.1 2I will openH6605 my mouthH6310 in a parableH4912: I will utterH5042 dark sayingsH2420 of oldH6924: 3Which we have heardH8085 and knownH3045, and our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us. 4We will not hideH3582 them from their childrenH1121, showingH5608 to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5807, and his wonderful worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213. 5For he establishedH6965 a testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, and appointedH7760 a lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1, that they should make them knownH3045 to their childrenH1121: 6That the generationH1755 to comeH314 might knowH3045 them, even the childrenH1121 who should be bornH3205; who should ariseH6965 and declareH5608 them to their childrenH1121: 7That they might setH7760 their hopeH3689 in GodH430, and not forgetH7911 the worksH4611 of GodH410, but keepH5341 his commandmentsH4687: 8And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not steadfastH539 with GodH410.2

9The childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, being armedH5401, and carryingH7411 bowsH7198, turned backH2015 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128.3 10They keptH8104 not the covenantH1285 of GodH430, and refusedH3985 to walkH3212 in his lawH8451; 11And forgotH7911 his worksH5949, and his wondersH6381 that he had shownH7200 them.
