Hear my teaching, O my people; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will declare the mysteries of ancient times.
3. That which we have heard and known; and what our forefathers have told us, we will not hide from their children.
Hear my teaching, O my people; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
4. We will recount to generations to come the praiseworthy deeds and the power of the Lord, and the wonderful works he has done.
5. He gave his decrees to Jacob and established a law for Israel, which he commanded them to teach their children.
6. That the generations to come might know, and the children yet unborn, then they in turn might tell it to their children.
7. So that they might put their trust in God, and not forget the deeds of God, but keep his commandments.
Hear my teaching, O my people; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
