1
Hear my law, my people. Turn 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, Our fathers have told us.
4
We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, His strength, and his wondrous 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, even the children who should be born; Who should arise and tell their children,
7
That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,
