NET Bible
"He established a rule in Jacob; he set up a law in Israel. He commanded our ancestors to make his deeds known to their descendants,"
— Psalms 78:5, NET Bible
“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:”
“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; ”
“For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;”
“How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever: shall thy zeal be kindled like a fire?”
“He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;”
“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:”
I will sing a song that imparts wisdom; I will make insightful observations about the past.
What we have heard and learned– that which our ancestors have told us–
we will not hide from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the LORD’s praiseworthy acts, about his strength and the amazing things he has done.
He established a rule in Jacob; he set up a law in Israel. He commanded our ancestors to make his deeds known to their descendants,
so that the next generation, children yet to be born, might know about them. They will grow up and tell their descendants about them.
Then they will place their confidence in God. They will not forget the works of God, and they will obey his commands.
Then they will not be like their ancestors, who were a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that was not committed and faithful to God.
