That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
I have been meditating upon the subject of teaching children to be godly rather than just good. I think this Psalm might describe just that.
First, the objective of the father is to make known to the children
Vs. 4-5
He will not hide the wonderful works of God.
Second, his objective is to so teach this generation that they will rise up and teach their children
Vs. 6
It would indeed be a sign of godliness that a generation would pass what they have heard to the next.
Third, there is, I think, a description of godliness
Vs. 7
- They set their hope in God
- They do not forget the works of God
- They keep the commandments of God
There is a negative reinforcement of this lesson
Vs. 8
- A stubborn and rebellious generation
- A generation that set not their heart aright
- A generation that was not steadfast with God
