Psalms 78:4-8

⁴We will not keep them from our children; we will tell the next generation about God's marvelous actions—about his power and the amazing things he has done.

⁵He gave his laws to the descendants of Jacob; his instructions to the people of Israel. He commanded our forefathers to teach them to their children,

⁶so that the next generation—children yet to be born—would understand and grow up to teach their children.

⁷In this way they should place their trust in God and not forget what God has done, and keep his commandments.

⁸Then they would not be like their forefathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation that was untrustworthy and unfaithful.
