We will not hide them from their children,

    but tell to the coming generation

the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,

    and the wonders that he has done.

5 

He established a testimony in Jacob

    and appointed a law in Israel,

which he commanded our fathers

    to teach to their children,

6 

that the next generation might know them,

    the children yet unborn,

and arise and tell them to their children,

7 

    so that they should set their hope in God

and not forget the works of God,

    but keep his commandments;

8 

and that they should not be like their fathers,

    a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation whose heart was not steadfast,

    whose spirit was not faithful to God.
