(A)Who said of his father and his mother,
‘I did not consider them’;
And he did not acknowledge his brothers,
Nor did he regard his own sons,
For (B)they kept Your word,
And complied with Your covenant.
10 (C)They will teach Your ordinances to Jacob,
And Your Law to Israel.
(D)They shall put [a]incense before You,
And (E)whole burnt offerings on Your altar.
11 Lord, bless his strength,
And accept the work of his hands;
Smash the [b]hips of those who rise up against him,
And those who hate him, so that they do not rise again.”
