¹⁸ (Which wise men have told From their fathers, and have not hid it;

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

¹⁰ With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, Much elder than thy father.

¹⁸ Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto `the next' generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.

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.

⁵ For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;

⁶ That the generation to come might know `them', even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell `them' to their children,

¹⁹ The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: The father to the children shall make known thy truth.
