9 Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—
5 For Yahweh is good.
His loving kindness endures forever,
his faithfulness to all generations.
14 They will still produce fruit in old age.
They will be full of sap and green,
15 to show that Yahweh is upright.
He is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.
25 I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his children begging for bread.
30 Even the youths faint and get weary,
and the young men utterly fall;
31 but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength.
They will mount up with wings like eagles.
They will run, and not be weary.
They will walk, and not faint.
6 Children’s children are the crown of old men;
the glory of children is their parents.
31 Gray hair is a crown of glory.
It is attained by a life of righteousness.
4 Even to old age I am he,
and even to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear.
Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
17 But Yahweh’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him,
his righteousness to children’s children,
4 One generation will commend your works to another,
and will declare your mighty acts.
