Psalms 78:2-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 78
2
I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will tell riddles of old,
3
Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have told us.
4
We will not conceal them from their children,
But we will tell the generation to come the praises of the
Lord
,
And His power and His wondrous works that He has done.
5
For He established a testimony in Jacob,
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers
That they were to teach them to their children,
6
So that the generation to come would know, the children
yet
to be born,
That
they would arise and tell
them
to their children,
7
So that they would put their confidence in God
And not forget the works of God,
But comply with His commandments,
8
And not be like their fathers,
A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that did not prepare its heart
And whose spirit was not faithful to God.
9
The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows,
Yet
they turned back on the day of battle.
10
They did not keep the covenant of God
And refused to walk in His Law;
11
They forgot His deeds
And His miracles that He had shown them.
12
He performed wonders before their fathers
In the land of Egypt,
in
the field of Zoan.
13
He divided the sea and caused them to pass through,
And He made the waters stand up like a heap.
14
Then He led them with the cloud by day
And all the night with a light of fire.
15
He split the rocks in the wilderness
And gave
them
plenty to drink like the ocean depths.
16
He brought forth streams from the rock
And made waters run down like rivers.
King James Version
Chapter 78
2
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
3
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4
We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the
Lord
, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
5
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
That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
7
That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8
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.
9
The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
11
And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
12
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13
He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
14
In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15
He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
16
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 78
2
I will declare wise sayings;
I will speak mysteries from the past —
3
things we have heard and known
and that our fathers have passed down to us.
4
We will not hide them from their children,
but will tell a future generation
the praiseworthy acts of the
Lord
,
his might, and the wondrous works
he has performed.
5
He established a testimony in Jacob
and set up a law in Israel,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach to their children
6
so that a future generation—
children yet to be born—might know.
They were to rise and tell their children
7
so that they might put their confidence in God
and not forget God’s works,
but keep his commands.
8
Then they would not be like their fathers,
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation whose heart was not loyal
and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
9
The Ephraimite archers turned back
on the day of battle.
10
They did not keep God’s covenant
and refused to live by his law.
11
They forgot what he had done,
the wondrous works he had shown them.
12
He worked wonders in the sight of their fathers
in the land of Egypt, the territory of Zoan.
13
He split the sea and brought them across;
the water stood firm like a wall.
14
He led them with a cloud by day
and with a fiery light throughout the night.
15
He split rocks in the wilderness
and gave them drink as abundant as the depths.
16
He brought streams out of the stone
and made water flow down like rivers.
New Living Translation
Chapter 78
2
for I will speak to you in a parable.
I will teach you hidden lessons from our past —
3
stories we have heard and known,
stories our ancestors handed down to us.
4
We will not hide these truths from our children;
we will tell the next generation
about the glorious deeds of the
Lord
,
about his power and his mighty wonders.
5
For he issued his laws to Jacob;
he gave his instructions to Israel.
He commanded our ancestors
to teach them to their children,
6
so the next generation might know them —
even the children not yet born —
and they in turn will teach their own children.
7
So each generation should set its hope anew on God,
not forgetting his glorious miracles
and obeying his commands.
8
Then they will not be like their ancestors —
stubborn, rebellious, and unfaithful,
refusing to give their hearts to God.
9
The warriors of Ephraim, though armed with bows,
turned their backs and fled on the day of battle.
10
They did not keep God’s covenant
and refused to live by his instructions.
11
They forgot what he had done —
the great wonders he had shown them,
12
the miracles he did for their ancestors
on the plain of Zoan in the land of Egypt.
13
For he divided the sea and led them through,
making the water stand up like walls!
14
In the daytime he led them by a cloud,
and all night by a pillar of fire.
15
He split open the rocks in the wilderness
to give them water, as from a gushing spring.
16
He made streams pour from the rock,
making the waters flow down like a river!
English Standard Version

2
I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings from of old,
3
things that we have heard and known,
that our fathers have told us.
4
We will not hide them from their children,
but tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the
Lord
, and his might,
and the wonders that he has done.
5
He established a testimony in Jacob
and appointed a law in Israel,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach to their children,
6
that the next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
7
so that they should set their hope in God
and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments;
8
and that they should not be like their fathers,
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation whose heart was not steadfast,
whose spirit was not faithful to God.
9
The Ephraimites, armed with the bow,
turned back on the day of battle.
10
They did not keep God 's covenant,
but refused to walk according to his law.
11
They forgot his works
and the wonders that he had shown them.
12
In the sight of their fathers he performed wonders
in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.
13
He divided the sea and let them pass through it,
and made the waters stand like a heap.
14
In the daytime he led them with a cloud,
and all the night with a fiery light.
15
He split rocks in the wilderness
and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
16
He made streams come out of the rock
and caused waters to flow down like rivers.
New International Version
Chapter 78
2
I will open my mouth with a parable;
I will utter hidden things, things from of old—
3
things we have heard and known,
things our ancestors have told us.
4
We will not hide them from their descendants;
we will tell the next generation
the praiseworthy deeds of the
Lord
,
his power, and the wonders he has done.
5
He decreed statutes for Jacob
and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach their children,
6
so the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,
and they in turn would tell their children.
7
Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget his deeds
but would keep his commands.
8
They would not be like their ancestors—
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.
9
The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows,
turned back on the day of battle;
10
they did not keep God’s covenant
and refused to live by his law.
11
They forgot what he had done,
the wonders he had shown them.
12
He did miracles in the sight of their ancestors
in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
13
He divided the sea and led them through;
he made the water stand up like a wall.
14
He guided them with the cloud by day
and with light from the fire all night.
15
He split the rocks in the wilderness
and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
16
he brought streams out of a rocky crag
and made water flow down like rivers.
New King James Version
Chapter 78
2
I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings of old,
3
Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have told us.
4
We will not hide
them
from their children,
Telling to the generation to come the praises of the
Lord
,
And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.
5
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
That 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 may not be like their fathers,
A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation
that
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
They did not keep the covenant of God;
They refused to walk in His law,
11
And forgot His works
And His wonders that He had shown them.
12
Marvelous things He did in the sight of their fathers,
In the land of Egypt,
in
the field of Zoan.
13
He divided the sea and caused them to pass through;
And He made the waters stand up like a heap.
14
In the daytime also He led them with the cloud,
And all the night with a light of fire.
15
He split the rocks in the wilderness,
And gave
them
drink in abundance like the depths.
16
He also brought streams out of the rock,
And caused waters to run down like rivers.
