Psalms 78:7-11 in English

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.

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

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

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

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.

⁹ Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for thy name's sake.

¹⁰ Lest haply they should say among the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of thy servants' blood that has been shed be known among the heathen before our eyes.

¹¹ Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.

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.

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

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

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

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.

⁹ Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for your name's sake.

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

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

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

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.

⁹ The soldiers of the tribe of Ephraim had bows and arrows but they ran away from their enemies on the day that they fought a battle with their enemies.

¹¹ They forgot what he had done; they forgot about the miracles that they had seen him perform.

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

¹¹ Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before you; according to the greatness of your arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.

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.

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

¹¹ And forgot his doings, and his marvellous works which he had shewn them.

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.

⁹ Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us: and forgive us our sins for thy name’s sake:

¹⁰ Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes, By the revenging the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed:

¹¹ Let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee. According to the greatness of thy arm, take possession of the children of them that have been put to death.
