Psalm 78
Give heed to my teaching, O my people
: incline your ears to the words of my mouth;
For I will open my mouth in a parable
: and expound the mysteries of former times.
What we have heard and known
: what our forefathers have told us,
We will not hide from their children,
but declare to a generation yet to come
: the praiseworthy acts of the Lord, his mighty and wonderful works.
He established a law in Jacob and made a decree in Israel
: which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children,
That future generations might know, and the children yet unborn
: that they in turn might teach it to their sons;
So that they might put their confidence in God
: and not forget his works, but keep his commandments,
