Psalm 78

4 We will not keep them from our children;

we will tell the next generation

about the Lord's power and his great deeds

and the wonderful things he has done.

5 He gave laws to the people of Israel

and commandments to the descendants of Jacob.

He instructed our ancestors

to teach his laws to their children,

6 so that the next generation might learn them

and in turn should tell their children.

7 In this way they also will put their trust in God

and not forget what he has done,

but always obey his commandments.
