1 A Maskil of Assaph. Give ear, O my people, to my instruction: incline thy ear to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open with a parable my mouth: I will utter riddles out of ancient times;
3 Which we have heard and know, and which our fathers have related unto us.
4 We will not conceal them from their children, relating to the latest generation the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful deeds which he hath done.
