1 Hear, heavens, and I will speak.Listen, earth, to what I say.
2 My teaching will drop like rain.My words will fall like dew.They will be like showers on the grass.They will pour down like rain on young plants.
3 I will announce the name of the Lord.Praise God because he is great!
4 He is like a rock. What he does is perfect.He is always fair.He is a faithful God who does no wrong.He is right and fair.
5 They have done evil against him.To their shame they are no longer his children.They are an evil and lying people.
6 This is not the way to repay the Lord.You are foolish and unwise.He is your Father and Maker.He made you and formed you.
7 Remember the old days.Think of the years already passed.Ask your father. He will tell you.Ask your elders. They will inform you.
