Psalms 78:3-11

³Which we haue heard and knowen, and our fathers haue tolde vs.

⁴Wee will not hide them from their children but to the generation to come we wil shewe the praises of the Lord his power also, and his wonderful woorkes that he hath done:

⁵How he established a testimonie in Iaakob, and ordeined a Law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they shoulde teache their children:

⁶That the posteritie might knowe it, and the children, which should be borne, should stand vp, and declare it to their children:

⁷That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the workes of God but keepe his commandements:

⁸And not to bee as their fathers, a disobedient and rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirite was not faithfull vnto God.

⁹The children of Ephraim being armed and shooting with the bowe, turned backe in the day of battell.

¹⁰They kept not the couenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,

¹¹And forgate his Actes, and his wonderfull woorkes that he had shewed them.
