Psalm 78:4–8
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.k
5 He established a testimony in Jacob
and set up a law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach to their childrenl
6 so that a future generation—
children yet to be born—might know.
They were to rise and tell their childrenm
7 so that they might put their confidence in God
and not forget God’s works,
but keep his commands.n
8 Then they would not be like their ancestors,
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation whose heart was not loyal
and whose spirit was not faithful to God.o
