2as I open my mouth in a poem on the riddling story of the past.
3What we have heard and known, and what our ancestors have told us,
4we will not hide from their children. We will tell to the next generation the praises and might of the Lord, and the wonders that he has done.
5He set up a testimony in Jacob, a law he appointed in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to make known to their children,
6that the next generation should know it, that the children yet to be born should arise and tell their children;
7that in God they might put their confidence, and not forget God's works; but that they might keep his commandments,
8and not be like their ancestors, a generation defiant and stubborn, a generation with heart unsteady, and spirit unfaithful towards God.
9Ephraimites, armed bowmen, turned back in the day of battle.
10They did not keep God's covenant, they refused to walk in his law.
11They forgot what he had done, and the wonders he had shown them.
12He did wonders before their ancestors in the country of Zoan in Egypt.
13Through the sea which he split he brought them, making waters stand up like a heap;
14he led them by day with a cloud, all the night with a light of fire.
