1 Listen, O my people, to my law. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2 I will open my mouth in an illustration. I will utter dark sayings of old,

3 That we have heard and known and our fathers have told us.

4 We will not conceal them from their children, but tell to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, and his strength and his wondrous works that he has done.
