1 Give ear, O my people, to mine instruction, Bend your ear to the sayings of my mouth;2 I will open, in a parable, my mouth, I will pour forth enigmas out of antiquity;3 Which we have heard, and come to know, And, our fathers, have recounted to us;4 We will not withhold from their children, To a later generation, recounting the praises of Yahweh, Even his might and his wonders which he wrought;
