1 The understanding of Asaph. O my people, attend to my law. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in parables. I will speak about concepts that are from the beginning.
3 We have heard and known such great things, as our fathers have described to us.
4 These things have not been hidden from their sons in any generation: declaring the praises of the Lord, and his virtues, and the wonders that he has done.
5 And he has received testimony with Jacob, and he has set a law within Israel. Such great things, he has commanded our fathers, so as to make these things known to their sons,
6 so that another generation might know them, and so that the sons, who will be born and who will grow up, shall describe them to their sons.
