⁸ “You heavens above, rain^(A) down my righteousness;^(B)
    let the clouds shower it down.
Let the earth open wide,
    let salvation^(C) spring up,
let righteousness flourish with it;
    I, the Lord, have created it.

¹¹ For as the soil makes the sprout come up
    and a garden^(A) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness^(B)
    and praise spring up before all nations.
