1 Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak;hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My teaching will drop like the rain,my sayings will distill as the dew,as the droplets on the grass,and as the showers on the herb.
3 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord:Ascribe greatness to our God!
4 He is the Rock; His work is perfect;for all His ways are just.He is a God of faithfulness and without injustice;righteous and upright is He.
5 They have acted corruptly to Him;they are not His children, but blemished;they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Is this how you repay the Lord,you foolish and unwise people?Is He not your father, who has bought you?Has He not made you, and established you?
