Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth!
The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
“Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, so that thou art justified in thy sentence and blameless in thy judgment.
O God, why dost thou cast us off for ever? Why does thy anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your mind to my knowledge;
“Listen to me, my people, and give ear to me, my nation; for a law will go forth from me, and my justice for a light to the peoples.
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.
He who has ears, let him hear.”
“Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; to the Lord I will sing, I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.
