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 publish the name of the Lord:ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect:for all his ways are judgment:a God of truth and without iniquity,just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves,their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do ye thus requite the Lord,O foolish people and unwise? 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 many generations:ask thy father, and he will show thee;thy elders, and they will tell thee.
