1 Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak;let the earth hear the words of my mouth!
2 May my teaching soak in like the rain,and my utterance drench like the dew,Like a downpour upon the grass,like a shower upon the crops.
3 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord,praise the greatness of our God!
4 The Rock—how faultless are his deeds,how right all his ways!A faithful God, without deceit,just and upright is he!
