Invocation and Introduction to the Song

Deuteronomy 32:1-4

Hear, O ye heavens, the things I speak, let the earth give ear to the words of my mouth.

Let my doctrine gather as the rain, let my speech distil as the dew, as a shower upon the herb, and as drops upon the grass.

Because I will invoke the name of the Lord: give ye magnificence to our God.

The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments: God is faithful and without any iniquity, he is just and right.
