- Listen, O my people, to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
- I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,
- Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.
- We will not conceal them from their children, But tell to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, And His strength and His wondrous works that He has done.
- For He established a testimony in Jacob And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers That they should teach them to their children,
|
- Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
- I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
- Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
- We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
- 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:
|
- That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born, That they may arise and tell them to their children,
- That they should put their confidence in God And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments,
- And not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not prepare its heart And whose spirit was not faithful to God.
|
- That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
- That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
- And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
