Psalms 78:2-9

Great(i) 2 I wyll open my mouth in a parable, I wyll declare hard sentences of olde. 3 Whych we haue herde and knowne, and soche as oure fathers haue tolde vs. 4 That we shulde not hyde them from the chyldren of the generacyons to come: but to shewe the honour of the Lorde, hys might, and wonderfull workes that he hath done. 5 He made a couenaunt with Iacob, and gaue Israel a lawe which he commaunded oure forefathers to teache their children. 6 That their posterite myght knowe it, and the children which were yet vnborne. 7 To thintent that when they came vp, they myght shewe their chyldren the same. 8 That they myght put their trust in God, and not to forget the workes of God, but to kepe his commaundementes. 9 And not to be as their forefathers a faythlesse & stubburne generacyon, a generacyon that set not their herte a ryght, and whose sprete cleued not stedfastly vnto God.
