Psalm 78:1-4
Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;
incline your ears to the words of my mouth!
I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings from of old,
things that we have heard and known,
that our fathers have told us.
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.
generation after generation
stories remembered,
sketching the boundaries:
who we were,
who we are,
who we are called to be.
remember the truth
without
rose-colored glasses:
Yahweh is great.
Us? not so much.
but the deeper truth,
the crucial truth,
the hopeful, gracious truth:
we are His.
