Original text and translations

Latin text from Deuteronomy Audite, caeli, quae loquor: audiat terra verba oris mei. Concrescat ut pluvia doctrina mea, fluat ut ros eloquium meum, quasi imber super herbam, et quasi stillae super gramina. Quia nomen Domini invocabo: date magnificentiam Deo nostro. Dei perfecta sunt opera, et omnes viae ejus judicia.

English translation from Douay-Reims 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.
