(A)I am the Lord, and there is no other,
    besides me there is no God;
    (B)I equip you, though you do not know me,
(C)that people may know, from the rising of the sun
    and from the west, that there is none besides me;
    I am the Lord, and there is no other.
I form light and create darkness;
    I make well-being and (D)create calamity;
    I am the Lord, who does all these things.

(E)“Shower, O heavens, from above,
    and (F)let the clouds rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit;
    let the earth cause them both to sprout;
    I the Lord have created it.
