Verse 9 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.

wie die Kinder Ephraim, die geharnischt den Bogen führten, abfielen zur Zeit des Streits.
Los hijos de Ephraim armados, flecheros, Volvieron las espaldas el día de la batalla.
Los hijos de Efraín, equipados con arcos, dieron la espalda el día de la batalla.
Les fils d'Ephraïm, armés et tirant de l'arc, Tournèrent le dos le jour du combat.
I figliuoli di Efraim, gente di guerra, buoni arcieri, Voltarono le spalle al dì della battaglia.
Os filhos de Efraim, armados e trazendo arcos, viraram as costas no dia da peleja.
以法蓮 人帶著兵器,拿著弓, 臨陣之日轉身退後。
