1 Pay attention, my people, to my instruction!Listen to the words I speak!
2 I will sing a song that imparts wisdom;I will make insightful observations about the past.
3 What we have heard and learned – that which our ancestors have told us –
4 we will not hide from their descendants.We will tell the next generationabout the Lord’s praiseworthy acts,about his strength and the amazing things he has done.
5 He established a rule in Jacob;he set up a law in Israel.He commanded our ancestorsto make his deeds known to their descendants,
