1 O my people, listen to my instructions.Open your ears to what I am saying,
2 for I will speak to you in a parable.I will teach you hidden lessons from our past—
3 stories we have heard and known,stories our ancestors handed down to us.
4 We will not hide these truths from our children;we will tell the next generationabout the glorious deeds of the lord,about his power and his mighty wonders.
