1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter enigmas of old,

3 which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

4 We will not hide [them] from their sons, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD and his strength and his wonderful works that he has done.
