⁸ “You heavens above, rain^(A) down my righteousness;^(B)
    let the clouds shower it down.
Let the earth open wide,
    let salvation^(C) spring up,
let righteousness flourish with it;
    I, the Lord, have created it.

¹⁷ But Israel will be saved^(A) by the Lord
    with an everlasting salvation;^(B)
you will never be put to shame or disgraced,^(C)
    to ages everlasting.
