Psalm 78:1-7

English Standard Version

Tell the Coming Generation

A Maskil^[a] of ^(A)Asaph.

78 ^(B)Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;
    incline your ears to the words of my mouth!
²^(C)I will open my mouth ^(D)in a parable;
    I will utter dark sayings from of old,
³things that we have heard and known,
    that our ^(E)fathers have told us.
⁴We will not ^(F)hide them from their children,
    but ^(G)tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
    and ^(H)the wonders that he has done.

⁵He established ^(I)a testimony in ^(J)Jacob
    and appointed a law in ^(K)Israel,
which he commanded our fathers
    to teach to their children,
⁶that ^(L)the next generation might know them,
    the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
⁷    so that they should set their hope in God
and not forget ^(M)the works of God,
    but ^(N)keep his commandments;

English Standard Version

When Brothers Dwell in Unity

A Song of ^(A)Ascents. Of David.

133 Behold, how good and pleasant it is
    when ^(B)brothers dwell in unity!^[a]
²It is like the precious ^(C)oil on ^(D)the head,
    running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
    running down on ^(E)the collar of his robes!
³It is like ^(F)the dew of ^(G)Hermon,
    which falls on ^(H)the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord ^(I)has commanded the blessing,
    life forevermore.
