Mazmur 71:18

71:18 Even when I am old and gray, ¹ 

O God, do not abandon me,

until I tell the next generation about your strength,

and those coming after me about your power. ² 

Mazmur 78:6

78:6 so that the next generation, children yet to be born,

might know about them.

They will grow up and tell their descendants about them. ³ 

Mazmur 102:18

102:18 The account of his intervention ⁴  will be recorded for future generations;

people yet to be born will praise the Lord.

[71:18]  ¹ tn Heb “and even unto old age and gray hair.”

[71:18]  ² tn Heb “until I declare your arm to a generation, to everyone who comes your power.” God’s “arm” here is an anthropomorphism that symbolizes his great strength.

[78:6]  ³ tn Heb “in order that they might know, a following generation, sons [who] will be born, they will arise and will tell to their sons.”

[102:18]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text has simply “this,” referring to the anticipated divine intervention on behalf of Zion (vv. 13, 16-17). The referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.
