1 Give ear, O Shomayim, and I will speak; and hear, O Ha'Aretz, the words of my mouth.
2 My teaching shall drop as the matar, my speech shall distil as the tal, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the esev;
3 Because I will publish the Shem of Hashem; ascribe ye greatness unto Eloheinu.
4 He is the Tzur, His po'al is tamim; for all His ways are mishpat; El Emunah and without avel (iniquity), tzaddik and yashar is He.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their mum is not His; the defect is in His banim; a dor ikesh u'petaltol (a perverse and crooked generation).
