⁶ so that they may know from the rising of the sun
    and from the west that there is none besides me;
        I am Yahweh and there is none besides me.
⁷ I form light and I create darkness;
    I make peace and I create evil;
        I am Yahweh; I do all these things.
⁸ Trickle, O heavens, from above,
    and let clouds trickle with righteousness;
let the earth open so that^[a] salvation may be fruitful,
    and let it cause righteousness to sprout along with it.^[b]
        I myself, Yahweh, have created it.
