Psalm 78:5-8
New King James Version
Psalm 78:5-8
New King James Version
5 For (A)He established a testimony in Jacob,
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers,
That (B)they should make them known to their children;
6 (C)That the generation to come might know them,
The children who would be born,
That they may arise and declare them to their children,
7 That they may set their hope in God,
And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments;
8 And (D)may not be like their fathers,
(E)A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation (F)that did not [a]set its heart aright,
And whose spirit was not 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.
