For He established a (A)testimony in Jacob,
And appointed a (B)law in Israel,
Which He (C)commanded our fathers
That they were to [a](D)teach them to their children,
(E)So that the generation to come would know, (F)the children yet to be born,
That they would arise and (G)tell them to their children,
So that they would put their confidence in God
And (H)not forget the works of God,
But (I)comply with His commandments,
And (J)not be like their fathers,
A (K)stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that (L)did not [b]prepare its heart
And whose spirit was not (M)faithful to God.

  2. Psalm 78:8 Or put right

He decreed statutes(A) for Jacob(B)
    and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
    to teach their children,
so the next generation would know them,
    even the children yet to be born,(C)
    and they in turn would tell their children.
Then they would put their trust in God
    and would not forget(D) his deeds
    but would keep his commands.(E)
They would not be like their ancestors(F)
    a stubborn(G) and rebellious(H) generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
    whose spirits were not faithful to him.
