The Message
The Song
32 1-5 Listen, Heavens, I have something to tell you.
Attention, Earth, I’ve got a mouth full of words.
My teaching, let it fall like a gentle rain,
my words arrive like morning dew,
Like a sprinkling rain on new grass,
like spring showers on the garden.
For it’s God’s Name I’m preaching—
respond to the greatness of our God!
The Rock: His works are perfect,
and the way he works is fair and just;
A God you can depend upon, no exceptions,
a straight-arrow God.
His messed-up, mixed-up children, his non-children,
throw mud at him but none of it sticks.

Deuteronomy 32:2-5
New International Version
2 Let my teaching fall like rain(A)
and my words descend like dew,(B)
like showers(C) on new grass,
like abundant rain on tender plants.
3 I will proclaim(D) the name of the Lord.(E)
Oh, praise the greatness(F) of our God!
4 He is the Rock,(G) his works are perfect,(H)
and all his ways are just.
A faithful God(I) who does no wrong,
upright(J) and just is he.(K)
5 They are corrupt and not his children;
to their shame they are a warped and crooked generation.(L)

Deuteronomy 32:2-5
King James Version
2 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:
3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
