Psalm 78:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 That the [a]posterity might know it, and the children, which should be born, should stand up, and declare it to their children.
7 That they might [b]set their hope on God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8 And not to be as their [c]fathers, a disobedient and rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful unto God.
