5 God made a decree in Jacob,established a law in Israel:Which he commanded our ancestors,they were to teach their children;
6 That the next generation might come to know,children yet to be born.In turn they were to recount them to their children,
7 that they too might put their confidence in God,And not forget God’s deeds,but keep his commandments.
8 They were not to be like their ancestors,a rebellious and defiant generation,A generation whose heart was not constant,and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
9 The ranks of Ephraimite archers,retreated on the day of battle.
10 They did not keep God’s covenant;they refused to walk according to his law.
11 They forgot his deeds,the wonders that he had shown them.
