My son, to my words be attentive, to my sayings incline your ear;
Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you fear of the Lord.
A maskil of Asaph. Attend, my people, to my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.
Teach us to count our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Turning your ear to wisdom, inclining your heart to understanding;
For it will be well if you hold them within you, if they all are ready on your lips.
My son, to my wisdom be attentive, to understanding incline your ear,
My son, keep my words, and treasure my commands.
Pay attention and come to me; listen, that you may have life. I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the steadfast loyalty promised to David.
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.”
