Psalms 78:1-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 My people, hear my instruction; listen to what I say.

2 I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past-

3 things we have heard and known and that our fathers have passed down to us.

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.

5 He established a testimony in Jacob and set up a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers to teach to their children

6 so that a future generation- children yet to be born-might know. They were to rise and tell their children

7 so that they might put their confidence in God and not forget God's works, but keep His commandments.

8 Then they would not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not loyal and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

New International Version NIV

1 My people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.

2 I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter hidden things, things from of old—

3 things we have heard and known, things our ancestors have told us.

4 We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.

5 He decreed statutes for Jacob 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, and they in turn would tell their children.

7 Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.

8 They would not be like their ancestors— a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him.
