# Such is the generation of those who seek him

Here "generation" represents people in general. Alternate translation: "The people who seek him are like this" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# those who seek him, those who seek the face of the God of Jacob
|

Both statements mean the same thing. They both refer to those who go to the temple to worship God. Alternate translation: "the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one we Israelites worship" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])

# the face of the God of Jacob
|
|
