3that we have heard and known
and our fathers have relayed to us.
4We 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.
5For He established a testimony in Jacob
and appointed a law in Israel,
which He commanded our fathers
to teach to their children,
6that the coming generation would know them —
even children yet to be born —
to arise and tell their own children
7that they should put their confidence in God,
not forgetting His works,
but keeping His commandments.
8Then they will not be like their fathers,
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
whose heart was not loyal,
whose spirit was not faithful to God.
— Psalm 78:3-8
