Psalm 78 — Psalms 78:7–12

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.

They kept not the covenant of God,
And refused to walk in his law;

And they forgat his doings,
And his wondrous works that he had showed them.

Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers,
In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
