1. Listen, 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 drip like the dew,as rain drops upon the grass,and showers upon new growth.
3. For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;you must acknowledge the greatness of our God.
4. As for the Rock, his work is perfect,for all his ways are just.He is a reliable God who is never unjust,he is fair and upright.
5. His people have been unfaithful to him;they have not acted like his children – this is their sin.They are a perverse and deceitful generation.
6. Is this how you repay the Lord,you foolish, unwise people?Is he not your father, your creator?He has made you and established you.
