1. Attend, my people, to my law;thereto give thou an ear;The words that from my mouth proceedattentively do hear.
2. My mouth shall speak a parable,and sayings dark of old;
3. The same which we have heard and known,and us our fathers told.
4. We also will them not concealfrom their posterity;Them to the generationto come declare will we:The praises of the Lord our God,and his almighty strength,The wondrous works that he hath done,we will shew forth at length.
5. His testimony and his lawin Isr'el he did place,And charg'd our fathers it to showto their succeeding race;
