⁶ Such is the generation of those who seek him,
    who seek your face,^(A) God of Jacob.^[a][b]

⁸ My heart says of you, “Seek his face!^(A)”
    Your face, Lord, I will seek.

³⁰ Posterity^(A) will serve him;
    future generations^(B) will be told about the Lord.

¹⁰ Yet it was the Lord’s will^(A) to crush^(B) him and cause him to suffer,^(C)
    and though the Lord makes^[a] his life an offering for sin,^(D)
he will see his offspring^(E) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper^(F) in his hand.

¹⁵ If I had spoken out like that,
    I would have betrayed your children.
