¹ We have heard with our ears, O God;
    our ancestors have told us
what deeds you performed in their days,
    in the days of old:^(A)

¹³ Then we your people, the flock of your pasture,
    will give thanks to you forever;
    from generation to generation we will recount your praise.^(A)

¹⁸ The Lord is near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him in truth.^(A)
