Psalms 78

4 We will not hide them from their children,

but will tell a future generation

the praiseworthy acts of the  Lord,

his might, and the wondrous works

he has performed.  * 78:4 Dt 6:7; 11:19; Ps 145:4

5 He established a testimony in Jacob

and set up a law in Israel,

which he commanded our ancestors

to teach to their children  * 78:5 Ps 19:7; 81:5; 147:19

6 so that a future generation —

children yet to be born — might know.

They were to rise and tell their children  * 78:6 Dt 11:19; Ps 22:31; 102:18

7 so that they might put their confidence in God

and not forget God’s works,

but keep his commands.  * 78:7 Dt 6:12; Ps 103:2; Pr 3:1
