Psalm 78:1-8

World English Bible

78 Hear my teaching, my people.
    Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
² I will open my mouth in a parable.
    I will utter dark sayings of old,
³ Which we have heard and known,
    and our fathers have told us.
⁴ We will not hide them from their children,
    telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh,
    his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.
⁵ For he established a covenant in Jacob,
    and appointed a teaching in Israel,
    which he commanded our fathers,
    that they should make them known to their children;
⁶ that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born;
    who should arise and tell their children,
⁷ that they might set their hope in God,
    and not forget God’s deeds,
    but keep his commandments,
⁸ and 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.
