1“Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak;
and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2May my teaching drop as the rain,
my speech distil as the dew,
as the gentle rain upon the tender grass,
and as the showers upon the herb.
3For I will proclaim the name of the Lord.
Ascribe greatness to our God!

and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;
ascribe greatness to our God!

I will proclaim the name of the Lord.
Oh, praise the greatness of our God!

Pay attention, heavens, and I will speak;
listen, earth, to the words from my mouth.

Declare the greatness of our God!

Hear, O earth, the words that I say!

like gentle showers on young plants.
I will proclaim the name of the Lord;
how glorious is our God!

“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,

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.
