They send forth - like a flock - their young ones, and, their children, skip about for joy;

Shall, GOD, reserve, for his children, his sorrow? Let him recompense him so that he may know it;

If his children be multiplied, for them, there is the sword, and, his offspring, shall not be filled with bread;

Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, - because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

From men who are thy hand, O Yahweh, From the men of this age, whose portion, is among the living, and, with thy treasure, thou fillest their bosom, - They must be satisfied with sons, And must leave their abundance to their children: -

Come, ye children! hearken unto me, The reverence of Yahweh, will I teach you.

May he, Vindicate the oppressed of the people, Bring deliverance to the children of the needy, and, Crush the oppressor.

We will not withhold them from their children, To a later generation, recounting the praises of Yahweh, Even his might and his wonders which he wrought;

When he set up a testimony in Jacob, And, a law, appointed in Israel, - Which he commanded our fathers, That they might make them known to their children;

To the end, A later generation, might come m know, Children who should be born, Who should arise, and recount them to their children;

Let thy work, appear unto thy servants, And, thy majesty, upon their children;

The children of thy servants, shall continue, - And, their seed, before thee, be established.

Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;

But, the lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to children's children: -

Let his children become fatherless, and his wife a widow;

Let his children, wander about, and beg, Let them be driven out of heir ruins;

Let him have no one to continue lovingkindness, and there be none to favour his fatherless children;

Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.

Lo! an inheritance from Yahweh, are children, A reward, the fruit of the womb:

As arrows in the hand of a warrior, so, are the children of young men.
