Psalms 78:6-8 in English

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

⁶ That the generation to come might know them, even the children which 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

⁶ Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee: and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

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.

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.

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 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 put their confidence 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.

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.

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.

⁶ that the next generation should know it, that the children yet to be born should arise and tell their children;

⁷ that in God they might put their confidence, and not forget God's works; but that they might keep his commandments,

⁶ He commanded this so that the generation to come might know his decrees, the children not yet born, who should tell them in turn to their own children.

⁷ Then they would place their hope in God and not forget his deeds but keep his commandments.

⁸ Then they would not be like their ancestors, who were a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose hearts were not right, and whose spirits were not committed and faithful to God.

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

⁶ that another generation know. Sons, that shall be born, and shall rise up; shall tell out to their sons.

⁷ That they set or put their hope in God, and forget not the works of God; and that they seek or search his commandments.

⁸ Lest they be made a shrewd generation; and stirring to wrath, as the fathers of them. A generation that dressed not his heart; and his spirit was not believed with God.

⁶ that another generation know. Sons, that shall be born, and shall rise up; shall tell out to their sons. (so that another generation would know them. And so that the sons and daughters who shall be born, shall rise up; and shall tell these things to their sons and daughters.)

For they were a generation who did not direct their hearts towards him; and their spirits were not steadfast with God, or firmly fixed on God.)

⁶ So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons,

⁷ And place in God their confidence, And forget not the doings of God, But keep His commands.

⁸ And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God is its spirit.
