詩篇  Psalms  78 : 1 - 7

78:1 （亞薩的訓誨詩。）我的民哪，你們要留心聽我的訓誨，側耳聽我口中的話。
Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. Maschil...: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction

78:4 我們不將這些事向他們的子孫隱瞞，要將耶和華的美德和他的能力，並他奇妙的作為，述說給後代聽。
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.
 

78:5 因為，他在雅各中立法度，在以色列中設律法；是他吩咐我們祖宗要傳給子孫的，
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:

78:6 使將要生的後代子孫可以曉得；他們也要起來告訴他們的子孫，
That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

78:7 好叫他們仰望　神，不忘記　神的作為，惟要守他的命令。
That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
