open
my

told

praises
of the
LORD
, and his
strength

works
that he hath
done

established
a
testimony
in
Jacob

appointed
a
law
in
Israel
, which he
commanded
our
fathers
, that they should make them
known
to their
children
:
strkjv@Psalms:78:6
@ That the
generation
to
come
might
know
them, even the
children
which should be
born
; who should
arise
and
declare
them to their
children
:
strkjv@Psalms:78:7
@ That they might
set
their
hope
in
God
, and not
forget
the
works
of
God
, but
keep
his
commandments
:
strkjv@Psalms:78:8
@ And might not be as their
fathers
, a
stubborn

rebellious
generation

set
not their
heart
aright

spirit
was not
stedfast
