Psalm 78:5-8
New American Standard Bible
5 For He established a (A)testimony in Jacob,
And appointed a (B)law in Israel,
Which He (C)commanded our fathers
That they were to [a](D)teach them to their children,
6 (E)So that the generation to come would know, (F)the children yet to be born,
That they would arise and (G)tell them to their children,
7 So that they would put their confidence in God
And (H)not forget the works of God,
But (I)comply with His commandments,
8 And (J)not be like their fathers,
A (K)stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that (L)did not [b]prepare its heart
And whose spirit was not (M)faithful to God.

Psalm 78:5-8
New International Version
5 He decreed statutes(A) for Jacob(B)
and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach their children,
6 so the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,(C)
and they in turn would tell their children.
7 Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget(D) his deeds
but would keep his commands.(E)
8 They would not be like their ancestors(F)—
a stubborn(G) and rebellious(H) generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.
