Psalm 78:1-8

<a href="http://bible.cc/psalms/78-1.htm" >1</a><<maschil of="" asaph.="">> Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

<a href="http://bible.cc/psalms/78-2.htm" >2</a>I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

<a href="http://bible.cc/psalms/78-3.htm" >3</a>Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

<a href="http://bible.cc/psalms/78-4.htm" >4</a>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.

<a href="http://bible.cc/psalms/78-5.htm" >5</a>For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

<a href="http://bible.cc/psalms/78-6.htm" >6</a>That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declarethem to their children:

<a href="http://bible.cc/psalms/78-7.htm" >7</a>That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

<a href="http://bible.cc/psalms/78-8.htm" >8</a>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.
