1. An Instruction of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law, Incline your ear to sayings of my mouth.
2. I open with a simile my mouth, I bring forth hidden things of old,
3. That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have recounted to us.
4. We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done.
5. And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons.
