1A Psalm of instruction for Asaph. Give heed, O my people, to my law: Incline your ear to the words of my mouth.
2I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter dark sayings which have been from the beginning.
3All which we have heard and known, And our fathers have declared to us.
4They were not hidden from their children to a second generation; The fathers declaring the praises of the Lord, And his mighty acts, And his wonders which he wrought.
5And he raised up a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, To make it known to their children:
6That another generation might know, Even the sons which should be born; And they should arise and declare them to their children.
