Psalms 78:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:4

We will not hide them from their children
The children of the Jewish fathers, but faithfully publish and declare them, as Christ and his apostles did; or the children of God and Christ, their spiritual seed and offspring:

showing to the generation to come;
and so in all successive ages, by the ministration of the word, and the Spirit attending it; see ( Psalms 22:30 Psalms 22:31 ) ( 48:13 ) ,

the praises of the Lord;
what he has done in predestination, redemption, and effectual calling, which is to the praise of the glory of his grace, ( Ephesians 1:6 ) , and so all other truths of the Gospel, which are to the praise of Father, Son, and Spirit, and engage men to show it forth:

and his strength displayed;
in Christ, the man of his right hand, made strong for himself, and in the redemption wrought out by him, as well as in the conversion of sinners by his mighty grace, and in the preservation of them by his power:

and his wonderful works that he hath done;
in providence and grace; the miracles wrought by Christ, which were the wonderful works given him to finish, as proofs of his deity and Messiahship, and are testified in the Gospel for the confirmation of it; and especially the wonders of redeeming love, and calling grace, which are peculiarly to be ascribed unto him as the works his hands have wrought, and the wonderful decrees of God he made in eternity concerning these things.

2 I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the beginning,
3 that we have heard and known and our fathers have relayed to us.
4 We will not hide them from their children but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His might and the wonders He has performed.
5 For He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers to teach to their children,
6 that the coming generation would know them— even children yet to be born— to arise and tell their own children
