Psalms 78:3-11

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.
