Contemporary English Version (CEV)
Version
Psalm 78:3-8

These are things we learned
    from our ancestors,
and we will tell them
    to the next generation.
We won't keep secret
    the glorious deeds
and the mighty miracles
    of the Lord.

God gave his Law
to Jacob's descendants,
    the people of Israel.
And he told our ancestors
    to teach their children,
so that each new generation
would know his Law
    and tell it to the next.
Then they would trust God
    and obey his teachings,
without forgetting anything
    God had done.
They would be different
    from their ancestors,
who were stubborn, rebellious,
    and unfaithful to God.
