¹My people, hear my instruction;listen to the words from my mouth. ²I will declare wise sayings;I will speak mysteries from the past— ³things we have heard and knownand that our fathers have passed down to us.⁴We will not hide them from their children,but will tell a future generationthe praiseworthy acts of the Lord,his might, and the wondrous workshe has performed. ⁵He established a testimony in Jacoband set up a law in Israel,which he commanded our fathersto teach to their children ⁶so that a future generation—children yet to be born—might know.They were to rise and tell their children ⁷so that they might put their confidence in Godand not forget God’s works,but keep his commands. ⁸Then they would not be like their fathers,a stubborn and rebellious generation,a generation whose heart was not loyaland whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Which we have heard and known,.... The change of number from "I" to "we" have made some think that the disciples of Christ are here introduced speaking; but there is no need to suppose that, since our Lord uses the same form of speech, John 3:11,

and our fathers have told us; this may not only regard the Jewish ancestors, from whom our Lord descended according to the flesh, and so refer to the following account of the wonderful things done for the people of Israel; but also the divine Father of Christ, from whom, as his only begotten Son that lay in his bosom, and as Mediator, and the Angel of the great council, he heard and became acquainted with the secrets and mysteries of grace, and with his Father's mind and will; all which he declared and made known to his apostles, and in so doing used them as his friends, John 1:18 and so the apostles of Christ, what they had from him their everlasting Father, and who had used to call them his children, even what they had seen, and heard, and learned, they made known to others, Acts 4:20.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Which we have heard and known - Which have been communicated to us as certain truth.

And our fathers have told us - That is, we have heard and known them by their telling us; or, this is the means by which we have known them. They have come down to us by tradition from ancient times.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 78:3. Which we have heard and known — We have heard the law, and known the facts.
