³ things we have heard and known,
    things our ancestors have told us.^(A)
4 We will not hide them from their descendants;^(B)
    we will tell the next generation^(C)
the praiseworthy deeds^(D) of the Lord,
    his power, and the wonders^(E) he has done.
⁵ He decreed statutes^(F) for Jacob^(G)
    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,^(H)
    and they in turn would tell their children.
