Its explicit purpose is to transmit divine works to future generations so they will not forget his commandments. The psalm recalls rebellion in the wilderness, unbelief, idolatry, and failure, but also divine compassion. The choice of David as shepherd at the end connects the history of the people with the responsibility of faithful leadership.

und fielen zurück und verachteten alles wie ihre Väter und hielten nicht, gleichwie ein loser Bogen,
Sino que se volvieron, y se rebelaron como sus padres: Volviéronse como arco engañoso.
Se volvieron atrás y fueron desleales como sus padres; se desviaron como un arco engañoso.
Ils s'éloignèrent et furent infidèles, comme leurs pères, Ils tournèrent, comme un arc trompeur.
Anzi si erano tratti indietro, E si erano portati dislealmente, Come i lor padri; E si erano rivolti come un arco fallace;
Mas retiraram-se para trás, e portaram-se infielmente como seus pais; viraram-se como um arco enganoso.
反倒退後,行詭詐,像他們的祖宗一樣, 他們翻轉,如同鬆弛的弓,
