A Steward of Faith

¹ Listen, my people, to my teaching; tilt your ears toward the words of my mouth. ² I will open my mouth with a proverb. I’ll declare riddles from days long gone ³ ones that we’ve heard and learned about, ones that our ancestors told us. ⁴ We won’t hide them from their descendants; we’ll tell the next generation all about the praise due the LORD and his strength the wondrous works God has done. ⁵ He established a law for Jacob and set up Instruction for Israel, ordering our ancestors to teach them to their children. ⁶ This is so that the next generation and children not yet born will know these things, and so they can rise up and tell their children ⁷ to put their hope in God never forgetting God’s deeds, but keeping God’s commandments
