Psalms 78:4-8 in English

⁴ We 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.

⁵ For 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;

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

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

⁸ And 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.

⁴ We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

⁵ How long, O Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁶ Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon thy name.

⁷ For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.

⁸ Remember not our old transgressions; let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.

⁴ We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

⁵ For 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:

⁶ That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

⁷ That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

⁸ And 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.

⁴ We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

⁵ For 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:

⁶ That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

⁷ That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

⁸ And 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.

⁴ We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

⁵ How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?

⁶ Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon your name.

⁷ For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.

⁸ Remember not our old transgressions; let your tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.

⁷ That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

⁸ And 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.

⁴ We will tell these things to our children LIT, and we will also tell to our grandchildren about Yahweh's power and the glorious/great things that he has done.

⁵ He gave laws and commandments to the Israeli people, those who are the descendants of Jacob DOU, and he told our ancestors to teach them to their children

⁶ in order that their children would also know them and then they would teach them to their children.

⁷ In that way, they also would trust in God, and not forget the things that he has done; instead, they would obey his commandments.

⁸ They would not be like their ancestors, who were very stubborn and kept rebelling against God; they did not continue firmly trusting in God, and they did not worship only him.

⁴ We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

⁵ How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?

⁶ Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon your name.

⁷ For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.

⁸ Remember not our old transgressions; let your tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.

⁴ We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.

⁵ For he established a covenant in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

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

⁷ that they might set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep his commandments,

⁸ and might not be as their fathers— a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

⁴ We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.

⁵ For he established a covenant in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

⁸ and might not be as their fathers— a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

⁴ We will not keep them secret from our children; we will make clear to the coming generation the praises of the Lord and his strength, and the great works of wonder which he has done.

⁵ He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;

⁶ So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;

⁷ So that they might put their hope in God, and not let God's works go out of their minds, but keep his laws;

⁸ And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true to God.

⁴ We will not hide them from their sons, shewing forth to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, and his strength, and his marvellous works which he hath done.

⁵ For 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;

⁶ That the generation to come might know them, the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell them to their children,

⁷ And that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but observe his commandments;

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

⁴ We are become a reproach to our neighbours: a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

⁷ Because they have devoured Jacob; and have laid waste his place.

⁸ Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, for we are become exceeding poor.

⁴ We will not keep them from our children; we will tell the next generation about God's marvelous actions—about his power and the amazing things he has done.

⁵ He gave his laws to the descendants of Jacob; his instructions to the people of Israel. He commanded our forefathers to teach them to their children,

⁶ so that the next generation—children yet to be born—would understand and grow up to teach their children.

⁷ In this way they should place their trust in God and not forget what God has done, and keep his commandments.

⁸ Then they would not be like their forefathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation that was untrustworthy and unfaithful.

⁴ Wee 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:

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

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

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

⁸ And 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.

⁶ In order that the latest generation might know them, even the children that are to be born; that they may arise and relate them to their children;

⁷ That they may place in God their hope, and not forget the doings of God, but observe his commandments;

⁸ And that they may not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that had not directed their heart firmly, and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

⁴ We are become a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

⁵ How long, O Lord? wilt thou be angry forever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁶ Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, And upon the kingdoms which have not called upon thy name.

⁷ For they have devoured Jacob, And laid his place waste.
