⁷ Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations: Ask thy father, and he will show thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.

¹ We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, What work thou didst in their days, In the days of old.

³ Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.

⁴ We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.

¹¹ Then he remembered the days of old, Moses `and' his people, `saying', Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?

⁹ Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; `I am' God, and there is none like me;

⁵² I have remembered thine ordinances of old, O Jehovah, And have comforted myself.

¹¹ I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah; For I will remember thy wonders of old.

¹² I will meditate also upon all thy work, And muse on thy doings.

⁵ I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

⁶ I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search.

⁸ For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out:

⁹ (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow);

¹⁰ Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, And utter words out of their heart?

³² For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been `any such thing' as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

¹⁴ And it shall be, when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

⁸ Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever? Doth his promise fail for evermore?

⁶ He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity.

¹³ And Gideon said unto him, Oh, my lord, if Jehovah is with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not Jehovah bring us up from Egypt? but now Jehovah hath cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.
