Psalms 78:4

78:4 we will not hide from their ¹  descendants.

We will tell the next generation

about the Lord’s praiseworthy acts, ² 

about his strength and the amazing things he has done.

Psalms 78:6

78:6 so that the next generation, children yet to be born,

might know about them.

They will grow up and tell their descendants about them. ³ 

[78:4]  ¹ tn The pronominal suffix refers back to the “fathers” (“our ancestors,” v. 3).

[78:4]  ² tn Heb “to a following generation telling the praises of the Lord.” “Praises” stand by metonymy for the mighty acts that prompt worship. Cf. Ps 9:14.

[78:6]  ³ tn Heb “in order that they might know, a following generation, sons [who] will be born, they will arise and will tell to their sons.”
