1
"Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2
May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distil as the dew, as the gentle rain upon the tender grass, and as the showers upon the herb.
3
For I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God!
4
"The Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he.
