1. Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2. I will open my mouth in a parable;I will utter insightful sayings of old,
3. which we have heard and known,what our fathers have told us.
4. We will not hide them from their children,but will tell the coming generationthe praises of the Lord,and His strength, and the wonderful works that He has done.
