Psalm 78

Hear my law, O my people  *

incline your ears unto the words of my mouth.

I will open my mouth in a parable *

I will declare hard sentences of old;

Which we have heard and known *

and such as our fathers have told us;

That we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come *

but to shew the honour of the Lord, his mighty and wonderful works that he hath done.

He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law *

which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children;

That their posterity might know it *

and the children which were yet unborn;

To the intent that when they came up *

they might shew their children the same;
