Psalm 78:1

English Standard Version 2016

Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth!

See the chapter Copy

Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.

“Give attention to me, my people, and give ear to me, my nation; for a law will go out from me, and I will set my justice for a light to the peoples.

O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?

“Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.

“Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; to the Lord I will sing; I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.

He who has ears, let him hear.”

Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.

The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.

Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge,
