hope anew on God

O my people, listen to my instructions.

Open your ears to what I am saying,

for I will speak to you in a parable.

I will teach you hidden lessons from our past-

stories we have heard and known,

stories our ancestors handed down to us.

We will not hide these truths to our children;

we will tell them to the next generation.

about the glorious deeds of the Lord,

about his power and his mighty wonders.

For he issued his laws to Jacob;

he gave his  instructions to Israel.

He commanded our ancestors

to teach them to their children,

So the next generation might know them –

Even the children not yet born -

and they in turn will teach their own children.

So each generation will set should its hope anew on God,

Not forgetting his glorious miracles

And obeying his commands.

Psalm 78 : 1-7 ( New Living Translation)
