1 <V 77:1>The understanding of Asaph. O my people, attend to my law. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 <V 77:2>I will open my mouth in parables. I will speak about concepts that are from the beginning. 3 <V 77:3>We have heard and known such great things, as our fathers have described to us. 4 <V 77:4>These things have not been hidden from their sons in any generation: declaring the praises of the Lord, and his virtues, and the wonders that he has done. 5 <V 77:5>And he has received testimony with Jacob, and he has set a law within Israel. Such great things, he has commanded our fathers, so as to make these things known to their sons, 6 <V 77:6>so that another generation might know them, and so that the sons, who will be born and who will grow up, shall describe them to their sons. 7 <V 77:7>So then, may they put their hope in God, and may they not forget the works of God, and may they seek his commandments. 8 <V 77:8>May they not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation: a generation that does not straighten their heart and whose spirit is not trustworthy with God. 9 <V 77:9>The sons of Ephraim, who bend and shoot the bow, have been turned back in the day of battle. 10 <V 77:10>They have not kept the covenant of God. And they were not willing to walk in his law. 11 <V 77:11>And they have been forgetful of his benefits, and of his miracle, which he revealed to them. 12 <V 77:12>He performed miracles in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis. 13 <V 77:13>He broke the sea and he led them through. And he stationed the waters, as if in a vessel. Psalms 78:1-13, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
