Psalms [Praises] 78:5-12

⁵For he established a testimony in Jacob Supplanter, and appointed a teaching in Israel God prevails, which he enjoined our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

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

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

⁸and 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.

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

¹⁰They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his torot ·teachings·.

¹¹They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.

¹²He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt Abode of slavery, in the field of Zoan.
