Psalm 78:4-6
4 We will not hide them from their descendants;
we will tell the next generation
the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
his power, and the wonders he has done.
5 He decreed statutes for Jacob
and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach their children,
6 so the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,
and they in turn would tell their children.

Psalm 145:4
4 One generation commends your works to another;
they tell of your mighty acts.

Deuteronomy 6:4-7

Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
