1Hear my law, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
2I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,
3Which we have heard and known, Our fathers have told us.
4We 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.
5For 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;
6That the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; Who should arise and tell their children,
7That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,
