¹⁸ Which the wise declare -- And have not hid -- from their fathers.

⁸ For, ask I pray thee of a former generation, And prepare to a search of their fathers,

¹⁰ Both the gray-headed And the very aged `are' among us -- Greater than thy father `in' days.

¹⁸ And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.

³ That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have recounted to us.

⁴ We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done.

⁵ And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons.

⁶ So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons,

¹⁹ The living, the living, he doth confess Thee.
