1 “Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak, and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 May my teaching trickle like the dew, my words like rain showers on tender grass, and like spring showers on new growth.
3 For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh; ascribe greatness to our God!
4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are just; he is a faithful God, and without injustice; righteous and upright is he.
5 They have behaved corruptly toward him; they are not his children; this is their flaw, a generation crooked and perverse.
6 Like this do you treat Yahweh, foolish and unwise people? Has he not, your father, created you? He made you, and he established you.
7 Remember the old days, the years long past; ask your father, and he will inform you, your elders and they will tell you.
