1. My people, hear my teaching;listen to the words of my mouth.
2. I will open my mouth with a parable;I will utter hidden things, things from of old –
3. things we have heard and known,things our ancestors have told us.
4. We will not hide them from their descendants;we will tell the next generationthe praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,his power, and the wonders he has done.
