Psalm 78:3-8
English Standard Version
3 things that we have heard and known,
that our (A)fathers have told us.
4 We will not (B)hide them from their children,
but (C)tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and (D)the wonders that he has done.
5 He established (E)a testimony in (F)Jacob
and appointed a law in (G)Israel,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach to their children,
6 that (H)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 (I)the works of God,
but (J)keep his commandments;
8 and that they should not be (K)like their fathers,
(L)a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation (M)whose heart was not steadfast,
whose spirit was not faithful to God.

3 things we have heard and known,
things our ancestors have told us.(A)
4 We will not hide them from their descendants;(B)
we will tell the next generation(C)
the praiseworthy deeds(D) of the Lord,
his power, and the wonders(E) he has done.
5 He decreed statutes(F) for Jacob(G)
and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach their children,
6 so the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,(H)
and they in turn would tell their children.
7 Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget(I) his deeds
but would keep his commands.(J)
8 They would not be like their ancestors(K)—
a stubborn(L) and rebellious(M) generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.

A Father's Wise Instruction
4 (A)Hear, O sons, a father's instruction,
and be attentive, that you may (B)gain[a] insight,
2 for I give you good (C)precepts;
do not forsake my teaching.
3 When I was a son with my father,
(D)tender, (E)the only one in the sight of my mother,
4 he (F)taught me and said to me,
(G)“Let your heart hold fast my words;
(H)keep my commandments, and live.
5 (I)Get wisdom; get (J)insight;
do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
6 Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;
(K)love her, and she will guard you.
7 (L)The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
and whatever you get, get (M)insight.
8 Prize her highly, and she will exalt you;
she will (N)honor you (O)if you embrace her.
9 She will place on your head (P)a graceful garland;
she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.”
10 (Q)Hear, (R)my son, and accept my words,
that (S)the years of your life may be many.
11 I have (T)taught you the way of wisdom;
I have led you in the paths of uprightness.
12 When you walk, (U)your step will not be hampered,
and (V)if you run, you will not stumble.
13 (W)Keep hold of instruction; do not let go;
guard her, for she is your (X)life.
