1. Hear, heavens, and I will speak. Listen, earth, to what I say.
2. My teaching will drop like rain;my words will fall like dew.They will be like showers on the grass;they will pour down like rain on young plants.
3. I will announce the name of the Lord.Praise God because he is great!
4. He is like a rock; what he does is perfect,and he is always fair.He is a faithful God who does no wrong,who is right and fair.
5. They have done evil against him.To their shame they are no longer his children;they are an evil and lying people.
6. This is not the way to repay the Lord,you foolish and unwise people.He is your Father and Maker,who made you and formed you.
7. Remember the old days.Think of the years already passed.Ask your father and he will tell you;ask your elders and they will inform you.
