4 We will not hide them from their descendants;

we will tell the next generation

the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,

his power, and the wonders he has done.

5 He decreed statutes for Jacob

and established the law in Israel,

which he commanded our ancestors

to teach their children,

6 so the next generation would know them,

even the children yet to be born,

and they in turn would tell their children.

7 Then they would put their trust in God

and would not forget his deeds

but would keep his commands.

4 We will not hide them from their children,

Shewing to the generation to come

The praises of the Lord, and his strength,

And his wonderful 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 which should be born;

Who should arise and declare them to their children:

7 That they might set their hope in God,

And not forget the works of God,

But keep his commandments:

4 We will not hide these truths from our children;

we will tell the next generation

about the glorious deeds of the Lord,

about his power and his mighty wonders.

5 For he issued his laws to Jacob;

he gave his instructions to Israel.

He commanded our ancestors

to teach them to their children,

6 so the next generation might know them—

even the children not yet born—

and they in turn will teach their own children.

7 So each generation should set its hope anew on God,

not forgetting his glorious miracles

and obeying his commands.

4 We will not hide them from their children,

Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,

And His strength and His wonderful works that He has 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,

The children who would be born,

That they may arise and declare them to their children,

7 That they may set their hope in God,

And not forget the works of God,

But keep His commandments;

4 We will not keep them from our children;

we will tell those who come later

about the praises of the Lord.

We will tell about his power

and the miracles he has done.

5 The Lord made an agreement with Jacob

and gave the teachings to Israel,

which he commanded our ancestors

to teach to their children.

6 Then their children would know them,

even their children not yet born.

And they would tell their children.

7 So they would all trust God

and would not forget what he had done

but would obey his commands.

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,

7 That they might set their hope in God,

And not forget the works of God,

But keep his commandments,

4 We will not hide them from their sons, shewing forth to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, and his strength, and his marvellous works which 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, the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell them to their children, 7 And that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of •God, but observe his commandments;

4 We will not hide them from our children. 

We will tell the next generation 

about the Lord’s power and great deeds 

and the miraculous things he has done. 

5 He established written instructions for Jacob’s people. 

He gave his teachings to Israel. 

He commanded our ancestors to make them known to their children 

6 so that the next generation would know them. 

Children yet to be born ⸤would learn them⸥. 

They will grow up and tell their children 

7 to trust God, to remember what he has done, 

and to obey his commands. 

4 We must not hide them from their children,

but must tell a future generation

the praises of the Lord,

His might, and the wonderful works

He has performed.

5 He established a testimony in Jacob

and set up a law in Israel,

which He commanded our fathers

to teach to their children

6 so that a future generation—

children yet to be born—might know.

They were to rise and tell their children

7 so that they might put their confidence in God

and not forget God’s works,

but keep His commands.

4 We will not hide them from their children;

we will 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 decree in Jacob,

and appointed a law in Israel,

which he commanded our ancestors

to teach to their children;

6 that the next generation might know them,

the children yet unborn,

and rise up 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;

4 We will not hide them from their children,

telling the next generation the praises of Yahweh,

and his power and his wonders that he has done.

5 For he established a testimony in Jacob,

and appointed a law in Israel,

which he commanded our ancestors

to teach to their children,

6 so that the next generation might know—

children yet to be born—

that they might rise up and tell their children,

7 that they might set their confidence in God,

and not forget the deeds of God,

but keep his commandments,

4 We won’t hide them from our children.

We will tell them to those who live after us.

We will tell them about what the Lord has done that is worthy of praise.

We will talk about his power and the wonderful things he has done.

5 He gave laws to the people of Jacob.

He gave Israel their law.

He commanded our people who lived before us

to teach his laws to their children.

6 Then those born later would know his laws.

Even their children yet to come would know them.

And they in turn would tell their children.

7 Then they would put their trust in God.

They would not forget what he had done.

They would obey his commands.

4 We will not conceal them from their children,

But tell to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,

And His strength and His wondrous works that He has done.

5 For He established a testimony in Jacob

And appointed a law in Israel,

Which He commanded our fathers

That they should teach them to their children,

6 That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born,

That they may arise and tell them to their children,

7 That they should put their confidence in God

And not forget the works of God,

But keep His commandments,
