what wise men have declared and did not hide from their ancestors,
Which wise men have told From their fathers, and have not hid it:
What wise men have not hid but have freely communicated; it was told to them by their fathers,
(Which wise men have told From their fathers, and have not hid it;
what the wise have told and have not concealed from their family,
The wise acknowledge, and they do not leave behind, their fathers,
Wise men confess and hide not their fathers.
Both gray-haired and aged are with us, men even older than your father.
I will tell you; listen to me, and what I have seen I will declare,
to whom alone the land was given, when no foreigner passed among them:
Do you not know that it has been from old, since mankind was put on earth,
Now ask the previous generation; consider the findings of their fathers;
So even until I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, till I tell of Your strong arm to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
The living, the living—they praise You— as I do today. A father makes Your faithfulness known to his children.
