Psalm 78:3-8
New Living Translation
Psalm 78:3-8
New Living Translation
3 stories we have heard and known,
stories our ancestors handed down to us.
4 We will not hide these truths from our children;
we will tell the next generation
about the glorious deeds of the Lord,
about his power and his mighty wonders.
5 For he issued his laws to Jacob;
he gave his instructions to Israel.
He commanded our ancestors
to teach them to their children,
6 so the next generation might know them—
even the children not yet born—
and they in turn will teach their own children.
7 So each generation should set its hope anew on God,
not forgetting his glorious miracles
and obeying his commands.
8 Then they will not be like their ancestors—
stubborn, rebellious, and unfaithful,
refusing to give their hearts to God.
Psalm 78:3-8

Psalm 78:3-8
New International Version
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.
