4 We will not hide them from their children,

But [we will] tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,

And [tell of] His great might and power and the wonderful works that He has done.

5 For He established a testimony (a specific precept) in Jacob

And appointed a law in Israel,

Which He commanded our fathers

That they should teach to their children [the great facts of God’s transactions with Israel],

6 That the generation to come might know them, that the children still to be born

May arise and recount them to their children,

7 That they should place their confidence in God

And not forget the works of God,

But keep His commandments,
