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 The God of Israel spoke,
    the Rock^(A) of Israel said to me:
‘When one rules over people in righteousness,^(B)
    when he rules in the fear^(C) of God,^(D)
4 he is like the light^(E) of morning^(F) at sunrise^(G)
    on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain^(H)
    that brings grass from the earth.’
