Psalms:78:2-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I will open my mouth in a parable :
I will utter dark sayings of old :
*
Which we have heard and known ,
and our fathers have told us .
*
We will not hide them from their children ,
shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD ,
and his strength ,
and his wonderful works that he hath done .
*
For he established a testimony in Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
and appointed a law in Israel Yisra #
el #,
which he commanded our fathers ,
that they should make them known to their children :
*
That the generation to come might know them ,
even the children which should be born ;
who should arise and declare them to their children :
*
That they might set their hope in God ,
and not forget the works of God ,
but keep his commandments :
*
And might not be as their fathers ,
a stubborn and rebellious generation ;
a generation that set #
not their heart aright ,
and whose spirit was not stedfast with God .
*
The children of Ephraim ,
being armed ,
and carrying bows ,
turned back in the day of battle .
