3 things that we have heard and known,
that our ancestors have told us.(A)
4 We will not hide them from their children;
we will tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord and his might
and the wonders that he has done.(B)
5 He established a decree in Jacob
and appointed a law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach to their children,(C)
6 that the next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and rise up and tell them to their children,(D)
7 so that they should set their hope in God,
and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments;(E)
8 and that they should not be like their ancestors,
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation whose heart was not steadfast,
whose spirit was not faithful to God.(F)

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.
7 Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget(I) his deeds
but would keep his commands.(J)
8 They would not be like their ancestors(K)—
a stubborn(L) and rebellious(M) generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.
