Psalm 78:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 That they might [a]set their hope on God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8 And not to be as their [b]fathers, a disobedient and rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful unto God.
9 The children of [c]Ephraim being armed and shooting with the bow, turned back in the day of battle.
