2 I will open my mouth in parables,

       I will utter hidden things, things from of old-

3 what we have heard and known,        what our fathers have told us.

4 We will not hide them from their children;        we will tell the next generation        the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,        his power, and the wonders he has done.

7 Then they would put their trust in God        and would not forget his deeds        but would keep his commands.
