² Let ^(A)my ^[a]teaching drop as the rain,
My speech distill as the dew,
^(B)As raindrops on the tender herb,
And as showers on the grass.

⁴ And ^(A)he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises,
A morning without clouds,
Like the tender grass springing out of the earth,
By clear shining after rain.’

^3 (A)Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established ^(B)as the morning;
^(C)He will come to us ^(D)like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
