Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David.
“Listen to Me, My people; And give ear to Me, O My nation: For law will proceed from Me, And I will make My justice rest As a light of the peoples.
O God, why have 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, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God!
“Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I, even I, will sing to the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight— That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge.
The Mighty One, God the Lord, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.
Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge;
