1 Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth!
2 My doctrine shall drop as rain, My speech flow down as dew, As small rain upon the tender herb, And as showers on the grass.
3 For the name of Jehovah will I proclaim: Ascribe greatness unto our God
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect, For all his ways are righteousness; A ·God of faithfulness without deceit, Just and right is he.
5 They have dealt corruptly with him; Not his children's is their spot: --A crooked and perverted generation!
6 Do ye thus requite Jehovah, Foolish and unwise people? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? Hath he not made thee and established thee?
7 Remember the days of old, Consider the years of generation to generation; Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.
