Psalms 78:1-4

1Listen, O my people, to my teaching; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth [and be willing to learn].

2I will open my mouth in a parable [to instruct using examples]; I will utter dark and puzzling sayings of old [that contain important truth]—

3Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.

4We will not hide them from their children, But [we will] tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, And [tell of] His great might and power and the wonderful works that He has done.
