^4 (A)We will not hide them from their children,
^(B)Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,
And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

^3 (A)Tell your children about it,
Let your children tell their children,
And their children another generation.

⁷ I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord
And the praises of the Lord,
According to all that the Lord has bestowed on us,
And the great goodness toward the house of Israel,
Which He has bestowed on them according to His mercies,
According to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses.
⁸ For He said, “Surely they are My people,
Children who will not lie.”
So He became their Savior.
^9 (A)In all their affliction He was ^[a]afflicted,
^(B)And the Angel of His Presence saved them;
^(C)In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;
And ^(D)He bore them and carried them
All the days of old.
¹⁰ But they ^(E)rebelled and ^(F)grieved His Holy Spirit;
^(G)So He turned Himself against them as an enemy,
And He fought against them.

^15 (O)Look down from heaven,
And see ^(P)from Your habitation, holy and glorious.
Where are Your zeal and Your strength,
The yearning ^(Q)of Your heart and Your mercies toward me?
Are they restrained?
^16 (R)Doubtless You are our Father,
Though Abraham ^(S)was ignorant of us,
And Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, O Lord, are our Father;
Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
¹⁷ O Lord, why have You ^(T)made us stray from Your ways,
And hardened our heart from Your fear?
Return for Your servants’ sake,
The tribes of Your inheritance.
^18 (U)Your holy people have possessed it but a little while;
^(V)Our adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
¹⁹ We have become like those of old, over whom You never ruled,
Those who were never called by Your name.
