Psalms 78:1-7

¹Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

²I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,

³Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.

⁴We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.

⁵For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;

⁶That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell them to their children,

⁷That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,
