Praise God from Generation to Generation (vv. 3-7). One of the important obligations of the older generation is to pass on to the younger generation the truth about the Lord. Whether we admit it or not, every local church is one generation short of extinction, and we must obey 2 Timothy 2:2. (See 48:13; 71:18; 78:6; 79:13; 102:18; Ex. 3:15; 12:14, 17, 42; Judg. 2:10.) God is so great that the human mind cannot fathom Him (Isa. 40:28; Job 5:9; 9:10; 11:7; Rom. 11:33; Eph. 3:8), but the human heart can love Him and tell others how great He is. God’s character and God’s awesome works furnish us with more material than we could ever exhaust, and we will have all of eternity to keep learning more! But David was not writing only about theology; he was also writing about personal witness, what the Lord has done in our own lives. “Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord” (34:11 nkjv). The older generation must reach back into their lives and “utter the memory” of God’s great goodness (v. 7). The word translated “utter” means “to pour forth like a bubbling spring” (19:2; 59:7; 94:4; 119:17).
