Psalms 78:5

I Will Open My Mouth in Parables

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
