Psalm 78:1-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹ My people, hear my instruction;
listen to what I say.^(B)
2 I will declare wise sayings;
I will speak mysteries from the past^(C)—
³ things we have heard and known
and that our fathers have passed down to us.^(D)
4 We must not hide them from their children,
but must tell a future generation
the praises of the Lord,
His might, and the wonderful works
He has performed.^(E)
5 He established a testimony in Jacob
and set up a law in Israel,
which He commanded our fathers
to teach to their children^(F)
6 so that a future generation—
children yet to be born—might know.
They were to rise and tell their children^(G)
