1. O my people, listen to my instructions.Open your ears to what I am saying,
2. for I will speak to you in a parable.I will teach you hidden lessons from our past—
3. stories we have heard and known,stories our ancestors handed down to us.
4. We will not hide these truths from our children;we will tell the next generationabout the glorious deeds of the lord,about his power and his mighty wonders.
