5For he established ja testimony in kJacob,

And appointed a law in kIsrael,

Which he commanded our fathers,

gThat they should make them known to their children:

6That lthe generation to come might know them, even mthe children which should be born;

Who should arise and gdeclare them to their children:

7That they might set their nhope in God,

And not forget the works of God,

But nnkeep his commandments:

8And omight not be as their fathers,

A pqstubborn and prrebellious generation;

A generation †that set not their heart aright,

And whose spirit was not sstedfast with God.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

He established a testimony in Jacob

and appointed a law in Israel,

which he commanded our fathers

to teach to their children,

that the next generation might know them,

the children yet unborn,

and arise and tell them to their children,

so that they should set their hope in God

and not forget the works of God,

but keep his commandments;

and that they should not be like their fathers,

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation whose heart was not steadfast,

whose spirit was not faithful to God.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

He decreed statutes for Jacob

and established the law in Israel,

which he commanded our ancestors

to teach their children,

so the next generation would know them,

even the children yet to be born,

and they in turn would tell their children.

Then they would put their trust in God

and would not forget his deeds

but would keep his commands.

They would not be like their ancestors—

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

whose hearts were not loyal to God,

whose spirits were not faithful to him.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He established a testimony in Jacob

and set up a law in Israel,

which he commanded our ancestors

to teach to their children

so that a future generation—

children yet to be born—might know.

They were to rise and tell their children

so that they might put their confidence in God

and not forget God’s works,

but keep his commands.

Then they would not be like their ancestors,

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation whose heart was not loyal

and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

NLTNew Living Translation

For he issued his laws to Jacob;

he gave his instructions to Israel.

He commanded our ancestors

to teach them to their children,

so the next generation might know them—

even the children not yet born—

and they in turn will teach their own children.

So each generation should set its hope anew on God,

not forgetting his glorious miracles

and obeying his commands.

Then they will not be like their ancestors—

stubborn, rebellious, and unfaithful,

refusing to give their hearts to God.

For he established a testimony in Jacob,

which he commanded our ancestors

so that the next generation might know—

children yet to be born—

that they might rise up and tell their children,

that they might set their confidence in God,

and not forget the deeds of God,

but keep his commandments,

and not be like their ancestors,

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation that did not make ready its heart,

whose spirit was not faithful to God.
