Psalms 78:7-14

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

⁸And 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.

⁹The children of Ephraim, like well-armed archers, that turn round on the day of battle,

¹⁰Kept not the covenant of God, and in his law they refused to walk;

¹¹And they forgot his deeds, as also his wonders, which he had permitted them to see.

¹²In the presence of their fathers did he do wonders, in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zo'an.

¹³He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters stand upright as a wall.

¹⁴And he led them with the cloud by day, and all the night with a light of fire.
