- O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.
- I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old-
- what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us.
- We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.
- He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children,
|
- so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.
- Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.
- They would not be like their forefathers-- a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him.
