1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb and as the showers upon the grass.
3 Because I will invoke the name of the Lord, ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 The strong One, whose work is perfect: for all his ways are right; a God of truth and without iniquity, just and upright is he.
