Psalms 78:1-7

1 Listen, my people, to my teaching, and pay attention to what I say.
2 I am going to use wise sayings 1 and explain mysteries from the past,
3 things we have heard and known, things that our ancestors told us.
4 We will not keep them from our children; we will tell the next generation about the Lord's power and his great deeds and the wonderful things he has done.
5 He gave laws to the people of Israel and commandments to the descendants of Jacob. He instructed our ancestors to teach his laws to their children,
6 so that the next generation might learn them and in turn should tell their children.
7 In this way they also will put their trust in God and not forget what he has done, but always obey his commandments.
