Psalms 78:1-7 ▼

1 A Maskil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will pour forth dark sayings of old,

3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have recounted to us.

4 We will not conceal them from their children, But recount to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, And His strength and His wondrous deeds that He has done.

5 For He established a testimony in Jacob And set a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers That they should teach them to their children,

6 That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born, That they may arise and recount them to their children,

7 That they should set their confidence in God And not forget the deeds of God, But observe His commandments,
