^2 (A)I will open my mouth ^(B)in a parable;
    I will utter dark sayings from of old,

³ things that we have heard and known,
    that our ^(A)fathers have told us.

⁴ We will not ^(A)hide them from their children,
    but ^(B)tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
    and ^(C)the wonders that he has done.
