2 Drop as rain doth My doctrine; Flow as dew doth My sayings; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,
3 For the Name of Jehovah I proclaim, Ascribe ye greatness to our God!
4 The Rock! --perfect [is] His work, For all His ways [are] just; God of stedfastness, and without iniquity: Righteous and upright [is] He.
5 It hath done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not His sons', A generation perverse and crooked!
6 To Jehovah do ye act thus, O people foolish and not wise? Is not He thy father- -thy possessor? He made thee, and doth establish thee.
7 Remember days of old--Understand the years of many generations--Ask thy father, and he doth tell thee; Thine elders, and they say to thee:
8 In the Most High causing nations to inherit, In His separating sons of Adam-- He setteth up the borders of the peoples By the number of the sons of Israel.
