Psalms 78
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
4 Ref We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.
5 Ref 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;
6 Ref That the generation to come might know `them', even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell `them' to their children,
7 Ref That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,
8 Ref 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.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
4 Ref We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done.
5 Ref And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons.
6 Ref So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons,
7 Ref And place in God their confidence, And forget not the doings of God, But keep His commands.
8 Ref And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God `is' its spirit.
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
4 Ref We will not keep them secret from our children; we will make clear to the coming generation the praises of the Lord and his strength, and the great works of wonder which he has done.
5 Ref He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;
6 Ref So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;
7 Ref So that they might put their hope in God, and not let God's works go out of their minds, but keep his laws;
8 Ref And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true to God.
