1. Give ear, O Shomayim, and I will speak; and hear, O Ha'Aretz, the words of my mouth.
2. My teaching shall drop as the matar, my speech shall distil as the tal, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the esev;
3. Because I will publish the Shem of Hashem; ascribe ye greatness unto Eloheinu.
4. He is the Tzur, His po'al is tamim; for all His ways are mishpat; El Emunah and without avel (iniquity), tzaddik and yashar is He.
5. They have corrupted themselves, their mum is not His; the defect is in His banim; a dor ikesh u'petaltol (a perverse and crooked generation).
