A contemplative song of Asaph. Listen, my people, to my teaching. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
A psalm of Asaph. God, Elohim Adonai has spoken and summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
“Hear, My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
A contemplative song of Asaph. Why have You cast us off forever, O God? Why does Your anger smolder against the flock of Your pasture?
Incline your ear and listen to the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge.
“Pay attention to Me, My people, give ear to Me, My nation. For Torah will go out from Me, My justice as a light to the peoples.
Incline your ear and come to Me. Listen, so that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the trustworthy loyalty to David.
He who has ears, let him hear.”
Listen, O kings! Give ear, O rulers! I, to Adonai I will sing, I will sing praise to Adonai, the God of Israel.
