Psalm 78:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 We will not hide them from their children, but to the generation to come we will show the praise of the Lord, his power also, and his wonderful works that he hath done:
5 How he established a [a]testimony in Jacob, and ordained a Law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should teach their children:
6 That the [b]posterity might know it, and the children, which should be born, should stand up, and declare it to their children.

New International Version
4 We will not hide them from their descendants;(A)
we will tell the next generation(B)
the praiseworthy deeds(C) of the Lord,
his power, and the wonders(D) he has done.
5 He decreed statutes(E) for Jacob(F)
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,(G)
and they in turn would tell their children.
