Psalms 78:8-16 in English

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

¹² Repay to our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached thee, O Lord.

¹³ For we are thy people and the sheep of thy pasture; we will give thee thanks for ever; we will declare thy praise throughout all generations.

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.
