A Contemplation of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2
I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,
3
Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.
4
We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.
5
For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;
6
That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children,
