Psalms 78:1-13

¹The learning of Asaph. My people, perceive ye my law; bow your ear into the words of my mouth.

²I shall open my mouth in parables; I shall speak perfect reasons or propositions from the beginning.

³How great things have we heard, and we have known those or them; and our fathers told to us.

⁴Those or They be not hid from the sons of them; in another generation. And they told the praisings of the Lord, and the virtues of him; and his marvels, which he did.

⁵And he raised witnessing in Jacob; and he setted law in Israel. How great things commanded he to our fathers, to make those known to their sons;

⁶that another generation know. Sons, that shall be born, and shall rise up; shall tell out to their sons.

⁷That they set or put their hope in God, and forget not the works of God; and that they seek or search his commandments.

⁸Lest they be made a shrewd generation; and stirring to wrath, as the fathers of them. A generation that dressed not his heart; and his spirit was not believed with God.

⁹The sons of Ephraim, bending a bow, and sending arrows; were turned in the day of battle.

¹⁰They kept not the testament of God; and they would not go in his law.

¹¹And they forgat his benificences or benefits; and his marvels, which he showed to them.

¹²He did marvels before the fathers of them, in the land of Egypt; in the field of Tanis.

¹³He brake the sea, and led them through it; and he ordained the waters as in a bouget or bottle.
