'Fathers' in the Bible

In You our fathers trusted;They trusted and You delivered them.

“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry;Do not be silent at my tears;For I am a stranger with You,A sojourner like all my fathers.

For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.O God, we have heard with our ears,Our fathers have told usThe work that You did in their days,In the days of old.

In place of your fathers will be your sons;You shall make them princes in all the earth.

He shall go to the generation of his fathers;They will never see the light.

Which we have heard and known,And our fathers have told us.

For He established a testimony in JacobAnd appointed a law in Israel,Which He commanded our fathersThat they should teach them to their children,

And not be like their fathers,A stubborn and rebellious generation,A generation that did not prepare its heartAnd whose spirit was not faithful to God.

He wrought wonders before their fathersIn the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers;They turned aside like a treacherous bow.

“When your fathers tested Me,They tried Me, though they had seen My work.

We have sinned like our fathers,We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.

Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses,But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,And do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
