“Listen, O my people, to my instruction;Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.I will open my mouth in a parable;I will utter dark sayings of old,Which we have heard and known,And our fathers have told us.We will not conceal them from their children,But tell to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,And His strength and His wondrous works that He has done.For He established a testimony in JacobAnd appointed a law in Israel,Which He commanded our fathersThat they should teach them to their children,That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born,That they may arise and tell them to their children,That they should put their confidence in GodAnd not forget the works of God,But keep His commandments,And not be like their fathers,A stubborn and rebellious generation,A generation that did not prepare its heartAnd whose spirit was not faithful to God.”
