Verse 7 is found in chapter 78 of Psalms. Psalm 78 is an extensive historical and wisdom poem recounting Israel’s unfaithfulness and God’s patience. 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.

daß sie setzten auf Gott ihre Hoffnung und nicht vergäßen der Taten Gottes und seine Gebote hielten
A fin de que pongan en Dios su confianza, Y no se olviden de las obras de Dios, Y guarden sus mandamientos:
Así pondrían su confianza en Dios, no olvidarían las obras de Dios y guardarían sus mandamientos.
Afin qu'ils missent en Dieu leur confiance, Qu'ils n'oubliassent pas les oeuvres de Dieu, Et qu'ils observassent ses commandements,
E ponessero in Dio la loro speranza, E non dimenticassero le opere di Dio. Ed osservassero i suoi comandamenti;
Para que pusessem em Deus a sua esperança, e se não esquecessem das obras de Deus, mas guardassem os seus mandamentos.
好讓他們仰望上帝, 不忘記上帝的作為, 惟遵守他的命令;
