1 Give ear, O you heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My teaching 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 proclaim the name of the LORD: ascribe you greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are justice: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their blemish is not the blemish of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
