8 You heavens, rain down from above;+

Let the clouds pour down righteousness.

Let the earth open up and be fruitful with salvation,

And let it cause righteousness to spring up at the same time.+

62 For the sake of Zion I will not keep silent,+

And for the sake of Jerusalem I will not keep still

Until her righteousness shines like a bright light+

And her salvation burns like a torch.+
