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.
12. In the sight of their ancestors God did wonders,in the land of Egypt, the plain of Zoan.
