1. 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 riddles from of old,
3. Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us:
4. We will not hide them from their sons, shewing forth to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, and his strength, and his marvellous works which he hath done.
