Incline your ears to the words of my mouth!

I will open my mouth in parables;

I will declare the histories of old,

Which we have known and heard,

Which our fathers have told us

That we might not hide them from their children,

Showing to the generation to come the praise of Jehovah,

His strength, and the wonders he hath done.

He established a testimony in Jacob,

And appointed a law in Israel,
