1 My people, listen to my teaching.Listen to what I say.
2 I will speak using stories.I will tell things that have been secret since long ago.
3 We have heard them and know them.Our fathers told them to us.
4 We will not keep them from our children.We will tell those who come laterabout the praises of the Lord.We will tell about his powerand the miracles he has done.
5 The Lord made an agreement with Jacob.He gave the teachings to Israel.And he commanded our ancestorsto teach them to their children.
6 Then their children would know them,even their children not yet born.And they would tell their children.
7 So they would all trust God.They would not forget what God had done.Instead, they would obey his commands.
