PSALMS 78:1-8

« Psalm 77 | Psalm 78 | Psalm 79 »

Tell the Coming Generation
A Maskil of Asaph.
78:1
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 fathers have told us.
4
We will not hide them from their children,
but tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and the wonders that he has done.

5
He established a testimony in Jacob
and appointed a law in Israel,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach to their children,
6
that the next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise 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;
8
and that they should not be like their fathers,
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation whose heart was not steadfast,
whose spirit was not faithful to God.
