God’s Kindness to Rebellious Israel

A Contemplation of Asaph.

1 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 aparable;
I will utter1 dark sayings of old, 
3 Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have told us.
4 aWe will not hide them from their children,
bTelling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,
And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. 
5 For aHe established a testimony in Jacob,
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers,
That bthey should make them known to their children; 
6 aThat the generation to come might know them,
The children who would be born,
That they may arise and declare them to their children, 
7 That they may set their hope in God,
And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments;
