Psalms 78:9 in context

Psalms 78:6–12

6

that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born;

who should arise and tell their children,

7

that they might set their hope in God,

and not forget God’s deeds,

but keep his commandments,

8

and might not be as their fathers—

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal,

whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

9
Selected verse

The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows,

turned back in the day of battle.

10

They didn’t keep God’s covenant,

and refused to walk in his law.

11

They forgot his doings,

his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.

12

He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers,

in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
