Psalm 78:1-7 - We will tell to the coming generation
Psalm 78:1-7
1 Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;incline your ears to the words of my mouth.2 I will open my mouth in a parable;I will utter dark sayings from of old,3 things that we have heard and known,that our ancestors have told us.4 We will not hide them from their children;we will tell to the coming generationthe glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,and the wonders that he has done.5 He established a decree in Jacob,and appointed a law in Israel,which he commanded our ancestorsto teach to their children;6 that the next generation might know them,the children yet unborn,and rise up and tell them to their children,7 so that they should set their hope in God,and not forget the works of God,but keep his commandments;
