Psalms 78:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 78:5

3 Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have told us.

4 ^aWe will not hide them from their children,
^bTelling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,
And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

5 For ^aHe established a testimony in Jacob,
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers,
That ^bthey should make them known to their children;

6 ^aThat the generation to come might know them,
The children who would be born,
That they may arise and declare them to their children,

7 That they may set their hope in God,
And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments;

8 And ^amay not be like their fathers,
^bA stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation ^cthat did not set its heart aright,
And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows,
Turned back in the day of battle.

10 ^aThey did not keep the covenant of God;
They refused to walk in His law,
