For the end, A Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Korah. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, the deeds which You did in their days, in the days of old.

Your hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and You planted them; You afflicted the nations, and cast them out.

even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I have declared Your [mighty] arm to all the generation that is to come;

All which we have heard and known, and our fathers have declared to us.

And He raised up a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, to make it known to their children;

That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the works of God, but diligently seek His commandments.

And it shall come to pass, if your sons say to you, What is this service?

That you shall say to them, This Passover is a sacrifice to the Lord, as He defended the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He struck the Egyptians, but delivered our houses.

And if later on your son should ask you, saying, What is this? Then you shall say to him, With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

And when Pharaoh hardened [his heart so as not] to send us away, He slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast; therefore I sacrifice every [offspring] that opens the womb, the males to the Lord, and every firstborn of my sons I will redeem.

And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.

saying, When your sons ask you, saying, What are these stones?

when the Lord our God had dried up the water of the Jordan from before them, until they had passed over; as the Lord our God did to the Red Sea, which the Lord our God dried up from before us, until we passed over.

The living shall bless You, as I also [do]; for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare Your righteousness,
