⁷ Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.

44 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

⁵ I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

¹⁰ Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
