1 "Listen, O heavens, to what I am saying. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 Let my doctrine accumulate like the rain. Let my eloquence form like the dew, like a mist upon the plants, and like water droplets upon the grass.
3 For I will invoke the name of the Lord. Acknowledge the magnificence of our God!
4 The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments. God is faithful and without any iniquity. He is just and upright.
5 They have sinned against him, and in their filth they are not his sons. They are a depraved and perverse generation.
6 How can this be the return you would offer to the Lord, O foolish and senseless people? Is he himself not your Father, who has possessed you, and made you, and created you?
