6 so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.
6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
6 that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children,
6 So the next generation would know, and all the generations to come - Know the truth and tell the stories
6 That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children,
6 so the next generation might know them- even the children not yet born- and they in turn will teach their own children.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 78:6
Commentary on Psalm 78:1-8
(Read Psalm 78:1-8)
These are called dark and deep sayings, because they are carefully to be looked into. The law of God was given with a particular charge to teach it diligently to their children, that the church may abide for ever. Also, that the providences of God, both in mercy and in judgment, might encourage them to conform to the will of God. The works of God much strengthen our resolution to keep his commandments. Hypocrisy is the high road to apostacy; those that do not set their hearts right, will not be stedfast with God. Many parents, by negligence and wickedness, become murderers of their children. But young persons, though they are bound to submit in all things lawful, must not obey sinful orders, or copy sinful examples.
