And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

Verse 8 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.

und nicht würden wie ihre Väter, eine abtrünnige und ungehorsame Art, welchen ihr Herz nicht fest war und ihr Geist nicht treulich hielt an Gott,
Y no sean como sus padres, Generación contumaz y rebelde; Generación que no apercibió su corazón, Ni fue fiel para con Dios su espíritu.
No serían como sus padres, una generación obstinada y rebelde, una generación que no afirmó su corazón y cuyo espíritu no fue fiel a Dios.
Afin qu'ils ne fussent pas, comme leurs pères, Une race indocile et rebelle, Une race dont le coeur n'était pas ferme, Et dont l'esprit n'était pas fidèle à Dieu.
E non fossero come i lor padri, Generazione ritrosa e ribella; Generazione che non dirizzò il cuor suo, Il cui spirito non fu leale inverso Dio
E não fossem como seus pais, geração contumaz e rebelde, geração que não regeu o seu coração, e cujo espírito não foi fiel a Deus.
不要像他們的祖宗, 是頑梗悖逆、心不堅定, 向上帝心不忠實之輩。
