9 g“Only take care, and hkeep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. iMake them known to your children and your children’s children— 10how on jthe day that you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, the Lord said to me, k‘Gather the people to me, that I may let them hear my words, lso that they may learn to fear mme all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.’Psalms 44:1

what deeds you performed in their days,
qin the days of old:
Psalms 78:3-8

4We will not shide them from their children,
but ttell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and uthe wonders that he has done.
5 He established va testimony in wJacob
and appointed a law in xIsrael,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach to their children,
6that ythe next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
7so that they should set their hope in God
and not forget zthe works of God,
but aakeep his commandments;
8and that they should not be ablike their fathers,
aca stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation adwhose heart was not steadfast,
whose spirit was not faithful to God.
