A maskil of Asaph. Attend, my people, to my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.
A psalm of Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord, has spoken and summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
“Listen, my people, I will speak; Israel, I will testify against you; God, your God, am I.
Thoroughly wash away my guilt; and from my sin cleanse me.
A maskil of Asaph. Why, God, have you cast us off forever? Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?
The Words of the Wise: Incline your ear, and hear my words, and let your mind attend to my teaching;
Be attentive to me, my people; my nation, give ear to me. For teaching shall go forth from me, and my judgment, as light to the peoples.
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.
Whoever has ears ought to hear.” The Purpose of Parables.
Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I will sing, I will sing to the Lord, I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel.
