ESVEnglish Standard Version

“Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak,

and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

May my teaching drop as the rain,

my speech distill as the dew,

like gentle rain upon the tender grass,

and like showers upon the herb.

For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;

ascribe greatness to our God!

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Pay attention, heavens, and I will speak;

listen, earth, to the words from my mouth.

Let my teaching fall like rain

and my word settle like dew,

like gentle rain on new grass

and showers on tender plants.

For I will proclaim the Lord’s name.

Declare the greatness of our God!

NLTNew Living Translation

“Listen, O heavens, and I will speak!

Hear, O earth, the words that I say!

Let my teaching fall on you like rain;

let my speech settle like dew.

Let my words fall like rain on tender grass,

like gentle showers on young plants.

I will proclaim the name of the Lord;

how glorious is our God!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak,

and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

May my teaching trickle like the dew,

my words like rain showers on tender grass,

and like spring showers on new growth.

For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh;

ascribe greatness to our God!

KJV 1900King James Version

Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak;

And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

My doctrine shall drop as the rain,

My speech shall distil as the dew,

As the small rain upon the tender herb,

And as the showers upon the grass:

Because I will publish the name of the Lord:

Ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
