PSALMS 78:4-16

⁴We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, 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 which 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:

⁸And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

⁹The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

¹⁰They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

¹¹And they forgat his doings, and his wondrous works that he had shewed them.

¹²Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

¹³He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

¹⁴In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

¹⁵He clave rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

¹⁶He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
