Psalms 78:4

78:4 we will not hide from their descendants.

We will tell the next generation

about the Lord’s praiseworthy acts,

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.


tn The pronominal suffix refers back to the “fathers” (“our ancestors,” v. 3).

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.

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.”
