Fra min ungdom har jeg hørt i familien min at du, Herre, tok Israel ut av alle folkeslag, og våre fedre fra alle deres forfedre, til en evig arv, og du har oppfylt alt du lovet dem.
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.
