1. My people, listen to my teaching;listen to what I say.
2. I will speak using stories;I will tell secret things from long ago.
3. We have heard them and known themby what our ancestors have told us.
4. We will not keep them from our children;we will tell those who come laterabout the praises of the Lord.We will tell about his powerand the miracles he has done.
5. The Lord made an agreement with Jacoband gave the teachings to Israel,which he commanded our ancestorsto teach to their children.
6. Then their children would know them,even their children not yet born.And they would tell their children.
7. So they would all trust Godand would not forget what he had donebut would obey his commands.
