1. Pay attention, heavens, and I will speak;listen, earth, to the words of my mouth.
2. Let my teaching fall like rainand my word settle like dew,like gentle rain on new grassand showers on tender plants.
3. For I will proclaim Yahweh’s name. Declare the greatness of our God!
4. The Rock — His work is perfect;all His ways are entirely just. A faithful God, without prejudice,He is righteous and true.
5. His people have acted corruptly toward Him; this is their defect — they are not His childrenbut a devious and crooked generation.
6. Is this how you repay the Lord,you foolish and senseless people? Isn’t He your Father and Creator? Didn’t He make you and sustain you?
