PSALM 78

TELL THE COMING GENERATION

Asaph speaks of God’s provision and glorious deeds, hoping to encourage and educate the future generation. Asaph covers a lot of Israel’s history in this psalm, praising God for all He has done and reminding future generations to remain faithful

Asaph includes many miraculous acts of God, such as sending the plagues to Egypt (Exodus 8–10), leading the Israelites through the wilderness by a cloud and fire (Exodus 13), dividing the Red Sea and allowing the Israelites to cross (Exodus 14), and providing manna and water in the wilderness (Exodus 16–17). 

Psalm 78:4 - We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.
