Psalm 78:9 · BSB

Psalm 78:9 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 78.

5 For He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers to teach to their children,

6 that the coming generation would know them—even children yet to be born—to arise and tell their own children

7 that they should put their confidence in God, not forgetting His works, but keeping His commandments.

8 Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 The archers of Ephraim turned back on the day of battle.

10 They failed to keep God’s covenant and refused to live by His law.

11 They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.

12 He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.

13 He split the sea and brought them through; He set the waters upright like a wall.
