From my youth up I have heard in the tribe of my family, that thou, O Lord, tookest Israel from among all people, and our fathers from all their predecessors, for a perpetual inheritance, and thou hast performed whatsoever thou didst promise them.
"Since my childhood I have heard, among the clan of my family, that you, Lord, took Israel out of all the nations, and our fathers out of all their ancestors, as an everlasting inheritance, and that you did for them all that you promised."
