Give ear The phrase "Give ear" is a call to attention, urging the listener to focus and listen carefully. In Hebrew, the word used is "הַאֲזִינוּ" (ha'azinu), which is an imperative form of the verb "to hear" or "to listen." This is not merely a passive hearing but an active, intentional listening. In the context of ancient Israel, listening was a vital part of learning and understanding God's will. The call to "give ear" is a reminder of the importance of being attentive to God's word, a theme that resonates throughout Scripture, emphasizing the need for obedience and receptivity to divine instruction. O my people to my instruction incline your ears to the words of my mouth My people.--An expression pointing to a position of weight and authority. My law.--Here, rather instruction, or doctrine. Verses 1-8. - The introduction calls special attention to the teaching that is about to be put forth, which it declares to be traditional (ver. 3), and, further, to be the sort of instruction which God had especially commanded to be given to his people by their teachers (vers. 5, 6) for their edification (vers. 7, 8). Verse 1. - Give ear, O my people, to my law; rather, to my teaching. Hat-torah - torah with the article - is "the Law;" but torah alone is any teaching or instruction. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. Dr. Kay regards the words of ver. 1 as "God's own words,"(1) on account of the expression, "O my people;" and (2) on account of "my Law." But "my people" is not inappropriate in the mouth of a psalmist, and occurs in Psalm 59:11 and Psalms 144:2. It "indicates the love in which the effort of the psalmist originated" (Hengstenberg). And "law," as already observed, is not the proper, or at any rate not the only, meaning of torah.
