Who said to his father and to his mother, I see him not, And he acknowledged not his brethren, And knew not his own children; For they have observed thy word, And kept thy covenant.

10 They shall teach Jacob thine ordinances, And Israel thy law: They shall put incense before thy nostrils, And whole burnt-offering upon thine altar.

11 Bless, Jehovah, his substance! And let the work of his hands please thee; Crush the loins of his adversaries, And of them that hate him, that they may never rise again!

He said of his father and mother,(A)
    ‘I have no regard for them.’
He did not recognize his brothers
    or acknowledge his own children,
but he watched over your word
    and guarded your covenant.(B)
10 He teaches(C) your precepts to Jacob
    and your law to Israel.(D)
He offers incense before you(E)
    and whole burnt offerings on your altar.(F)
11 Bless all his skills, Lord,
    and be pleased with the work of his hands.(G)
Strike down those who rise against him,
    his foes till they rise no more.”
